Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice on how best to deal with a letter I have received?
The letter seems ambiguous and doesn't state if they have had the debt sold on to them or acting on behalf, nor does it include any reference the original debt/account numbers.
I do owe this debt however have had a bad run of things lately and became unable to keep up with the contract,
the original creditor wasn't interested in my situation (when are they ever?), this is the first time I have received a letter from a DCA in regards to the debt;
*MY NAME AND ADDRESS*
