mackenzie hall threatening court

[gazza29uk]

hi i have just received this letter from mackenzie hall for a debt with quick quid.

 

although i continually offered QQ a repayment offer of £40 per month (due to my work hours being cut this is all i could afford),

they sold it on to MH,

 

i have had no correspondance with these apart from this letter ive attatched.

 

i know they are a bit dodgy after reading other threads on here

and was wondering if anyone could advise me on the best way to deal with them as they have threatened to contact my work which i dont want to happen,

 

by the way i received this letter on the 17th lol

I notice it states in your application with Much Hall , you provided them your employee details and then leaves it up in the air that they may contact them.

 

Firstly, you did NOT apply for anything via Much Hall and the implication is worth a copy of that letter to OFT/MP/Stella Creasy etc etc!
