I am looking for some advice as ive been rooting aorund on the internet for a similar situations and cant seem to find anything... About a month ago my mum rang me to say she had received a call on her landline number from someone called 'Paul' looking to speak to miss ** ** (me). My mum promptly informed him that i did not live there (I have not lived there for 11 years!!) and asked what it was in connection with. He told her he was calling from The University of Edinburgh about unpaid tuition fees. My mum said again she doesnt live here (he then called her a liar!) - she gave him my mobile number and he hung up. I subsequently had a missed call from a glasgow number and a voicemail from 'Mr Paul'. I thought it was strange he said he was calling from Edinburgh University and it was a Glasgow number he was calling from? Anyway i ran the number back, out of hours and discovered it was a company called Opos Limited. After some digging around i discovered they were a debt collection company NOT Edinburgh University. I am curious as to how they obtained my mums home number (which is x directory) and also i believe they have broken the Data Protection Act by disclosing to my mum that it was to do with University Fees?? I left Edinburgh University in 2006, and all my fees were paid for the time i was there. I am worried these are fees for my 3rd year (which i didnt actually matriculate for, i left) ..... and this is the first ive ever heard of the debt. Is it still recoverable?? Also - Since then they have been calling my mums house 3-4 times a day. She is now ignoring the calls and constantly asking me to do something about it. Its verging on harrassment. A letter also turned up at my mums house last week. Addressed to me with my mums address and a totally different postcode (which was for an old flat i lived in and NOT my mums address) The letter is basically a threatening letter asking me to pay the lot or they will be referring it to the county/sheriff court. Im not sure what to do??? 1. - I dont actually believe i owe this debt? I have no paperwork to say i do, and it was years ago? 2 - I want them to stop harrassing my mum, i havent lived there for 11 years. 3. - Have they broken data protection by discussing the debt with a third party (my mum?) Any advice would be appreciated??
