On Saturday night next door but one had a party for their 15yr old girl and as usual by 10pm underage drunken kids spilled into the street shouting ect, one particular boy obviously having a row with his girlfriend kicked the wing of my car and punched the quarter panel causing a large dent in the wing and a fist indentation on the quarter,being dark,I came out of my house But couldn't see the damage as it was dark but of course see it Sunday morning,I then knocked at the house where the party was and asked for the boys name,the girls mother got quite irate telling me it was gate crashers & it's nothing to do with her and what the f*** do I want her to do about it by then my wife got involved and the woman backed off but said she didn't know who the kids in the street were, I spoke to the other neighbours who all witnessed it and said they heard one boy say 'not the car!!" then heard a bang then said they saw 2 girls come from the house and say " get him inside" and took him into the house, the mum and dad say they were in the house all night but I don't believe them as there was up to 20-25 kids running up and down with bottles of Archers,cider ect all drunk witnessed by myself and my other neighbours, I have reported criminal damage to the police and my neighbours are willing to make statements, we know the boy came from the party and went back to the party as was witnessed so if they don't name him would the girls parents be responsible as these were all kids drunk and underage and under their supervision? Had a quote to repair the damage £537 + Vat,insurance is £300 excess for criminal damage and I'm fuming why should I have to pay when it's no fault of mine! Police have said unless the boy owns up nothing they can do and even if he does they can't force him or his parents to pay for the damage! No wonder this country is going to the dogs, Are the neighbours holding the party liable?

Thanks for the replys, i'll just ignore these now then

Hi On Sept 11th i recieved a letter from Transcom Worldwide Ltd claiming i owed a debt of £284.93 and they were collecting on behalf of Arrow Global Guernsey, i sent the letter stating i have no knowledge of any such debt being owed and have today received a reply stating Dear sir/madam we write in reference to your most recent correspondence of which your concerns have been noted please note our clients Arrow Global Guernsey Ltd purchased this debt from Kays and now legally owns all rights to to seek recovery of this debt and we are legitmately instructed to act on their behalf if you believe the matter to be a case of fraudulent activity please provide proof of residency for 2007 so we can investigate this matter further Can anybody point me in the right direction of how to reply to this letter ,i have no recollection of ever having a Kays account so why would they need proof of residency in 2007 when they are already writing to me at my address? i checked my CRA and nothing shows up there and the electoral roll shows i registered at my current address in 2005 so surely they should know this? Thanks

thanks i will do that also it must of been my 17yr old sons friend that picked the card up;)

thanks odc the card was not in an envelope and was indeed picked up and read by my 17 yr old son, so who should i report him to and should i contact him to tell him i will be reporting him?

hi everyone, right i sent the letter above to phoenix back in january and never heard anymore from them until today when i found a little card in my door from scotcall to say they had called and to let them know if i am going to pay!! or they will return my papers "refused to pay"?? and will have to face legal action. theres no address on the card only a local phone number the card looks like a homemade job, so at the moment i,m fighting my instincts to phone him and tell him to get lost but would it be best to ignore it as i cant write or send a letter as i have no address for mr akehurst!!! thanks in advance for any replies

hi first post so here goes i recieved a letter from phoenix saying that i owed £284 but no details of who or what the debt was, so i phoned and they said it was a catalogue debt from 2001 i said i had no knowledge of any debt to a catalogue company and refuted the debt they told me i should ring kays and speak to them which i didnt, i have now recieved a 2nd letter saying they are preparing legal papers but if i phone them they will offer me a substantial discount?? but surely they must have some record of an alleged debt what would be my best course of action apart from telling them to shove it!! thanks
