Hi Everyone,
My wife had a letter from Mackenzie Hall demanding repayment of £1344 debt to a company called the Lending Stream.
Now this was the first time we'd ever even heard of this company and the only debt we have is the Mortgage for our house and a loan for our car.
This debt is simply nothing to do with my wife.
I was quite happy to ignore the letter, but my wife wan't.
She went onto Equifax and Experion websites to check that her credit was OK and that she hadn't been the victim of identity theft.
As I expected it was all fine, with Experion giving her the highest 999 rating that you can get.
my wife wanted to send a letter to them telling them this debt wasn't her's and to basically go away.
after some digging I found this very website and forum, which has been of great help.
I downloaded the Prove It letter template from the Self Help Sticky, put my wife's details in and sent it off.
Thinking that would be the end of it.
Today my wife has received another letter from Mackenzie Hall stating the following:
"I can confirm we that we have undertaken an investigation into the issue raised in the above referenced correspondence
and we have concluded that your complaint has not been upheld.
The reasons are detailed below.
I have obtained and enclosed a copy of your electronically signed agreement with the Lending Stream along with a statement which shows a breakdown of the balance,
I have highlighted the signature part of the agreement"
Firstly the address on the statement has one line of the address wrong, it says Stirlingshire when we live in the West Midlands.
The highlighted signature is just my wife's name typed onto the bottom of the statement.
As you can imagine my wife is getting quite upset about this and I'm getting increasingly annoyed.
I just can't believe people can go around doing this, just making things up and demanding money from people.
So my question to you good folk is what should my next move be?
I mean the debt is simply not my wife's and is nothing to do with us.
Thanks in advance for any help
Dave
