Cabot Financial UK and old Sky 'debt'

[coco74]

Hi All,

 

 

i have just had a letter from Cabot with regards to £82.14 i apparently owe Sky.

 

 

The gentleman Called Raoul wanted me to verify my D.O.B so i said "1974" and he wanted the day and month so i said "same as every year".

 

 

for some reason they asked for my email address also.

 

 

It sounded to dodgy for me as I havent been with sky for 5 years,

 

 

I shouldnt have to say my full DOB or email address to verify who iam.

 

 

What should i do next then?

 

 

I have been on the electrol roll for the past 5 years and dispute the bill wholely.

Have you checked your credit file to see if this debt is listed? If not you should. Also stay off of the phone unless you are recording your call. Keep it all in writing only.

Hi, I have my credit file but no sign of any debt there.

[dx100uk]

Yes, they are on there.

Ignore them then, if they ring again, laugh and hang up.

 

Do you have a familiar name?

The OP needs to be aware that Cabot have not had an active FCA licence since the 28th February 2015.
