BCW Verification Letter

[nuclearshark]

Hi All,

 

I've received a letter from BCW Group saying they are trying to locate a Nuclear Shark.

 

Apparently my address is from a linked record on my Credit File.

The address they've given is a fairly old one.

 

Stupidly enough they have spelt my name very, very slightly wrong.

 

Checked the CRA's and everything seems in order, no defaults other than the ones I am already dealing with.

 

The letter states "If I believe I am not their customer please contact us on number"

 

I haven't purchased anything from BCW nor do I have any dealings with them.

 

That being obvious considering they are a DCA

 

So should I ignore them? Or write a letter saying I do not acknowledge anyone by that name?

 

Is it just a letter chain and eventually they'll go away?

Fishing. Don't bite. Ignore until they provide more information but keep an eye on your credit file.

[renegadeimp]

Ignore.

 

Or use it as toilet paper. Your choice.

 

As seminole said, they are fishing. They hope you will give them the info they dont have so they can fill in the blanks and create a valid debt. Thats what these letters and phonecall security questions are for. They mislead a person into giving them info so a debt can be created.

I thought as much.

 

Won't need to go to the Supermarket for some TP tonight then!

 

Edit: Sorry, forgot to say, thanks for the reponses! How rude of me

And start making those complaints to the OFT&TS...

 

Sending out phishing missives in the hope someone will do their dirty slimy tracing work for them!

Indeed.

 

Complaint fired of to the OFT yesterday and also Trading Standards. I used the complain to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice website, because Devon and Somerset seem to have a joint TS organisation, yet haven't got an e-mail on their website, just links to the Citizens Advice form.

 

Found an e-mail address for Glasgow though, Should I e-mail that as well do you reckon? Or the form enough?

 

Cheers,
