soctcall chasing 'paid' sky subs debt

[srhbit]

hi just wonder if any one has dealt with SCOTTCALL based in Glasgow

 

my son and daughter in law have had a couple of letters from them demanding money

they are saying its a sky TV debt

 

they cancel sky in may //June because of bad service

and were told over the phone the account was closed but

 

scottcall are saying they owe them

 

I've sent scott call a letter but not heard back

 

just wonder if any one knew about them

 

thanks

Yeah , generally they are a doorstep visit company...

How much is owing?

[srhbit]

only £ 25.. but when sky said it was paid we thought that was it x

snotscrawl can do what they like

they don't own the debt

 

no legal powers whatsoever

they are NOT BAIIFFS

and NEVER EVER will be.

 

get them to check their Credit file

 

in case its been defaulted.

Sky said the account is paid in full? Time to tell scotcall to do one and speak to sky.

 

They have to prove a debt exists. Not the other way around.

thanks for your reply

i ve wrote a letter this morning saying I am acting on behalf of the name person on there account (but did not say it was my son ) , I told them to get lost as they can`t prove the debt ,also I said I know they have no legal rights .as there is no debt

 

we have also found the last statement from sky and the cancelation letter saying account balance is£0.00

so let see what they say

Scotcall are one of the lowest forms of DCA there is. Debts normally only get passed to them when no other DCA will touch them.

 

Thats not to say the debt isnt legit in some way, but if scotcall is around, experience shows that the debt isnt what it seems.
