Hello,
I am new to the forum and was looking for some advice regarding an email I have recently received from lanter debt collection services below.
This is regarding a pdl I received on October 2016. From a company called Payday Express.
Being straight to the point I had completely forgotten about this is until the email I received from the as above company.
This is the first correspondence I have had from them(Lantern) about this.
No letters of default from the original creditor I can find, and no digital paper trail.
Could someone please advise on the best way to respond.
I apologise in advance if this has already been answered in previous posts.
Thank you.
