Prime Location Services

I have today received a letter from the above mentioned asking me to contact them (letter is addressed to me by name) as i may be the person our client wishes to make contact with.

 

The address is a huddersfield address and the DPA reg number links it to global debt recovery in malden.

 

I am assuming its best to leave it well alone until they come up with more concrete stuff (my credit file is fine , no missed payments defaults etc etc)

 

I have no idea what this might be about , but looking at previous threads seems like they have come up with a different name again to disguise their intentions

[fkofilee]

Yes phishing letter i suspect... What does it say?

Welcome to CAG

 

 

The key word is MAY here so no response is needed. Don't play their game, wait till they come up with something more substantial. Have you checked your credit file recently? if not you should without delay...

[Skaramanga]

I have checked with clear...but do you recommend checking with experian as well??

[Skaramanga]

Just done an experian checked and all hunky dory , my score is 996 , there is 1 alert regarding being on the edited electroral roll which means my name and address can be accessed online , so will get that sorted , but other than that all fine

In that case ignore, there will be others with same name and even date of birth, and they will have sent a letter to you all hoping anyone will contact them, a response will allow them to assume you are the one they want even if you owe nowt, you have taken the bait and they will harass you for the money. Ignore them.

I have received a pretty much identical letter today, addressed to my married name that I stopped using 18 years ago. I have a pretty unusual name and doubt if there is anyone else by the same name in UK. My Experian credit check is a Good 891. Does anyone know what these letters are about yet?

somebody somewhere once owed some money to someone so they write to everyone with a similar name and hope that someone respnds so they can then hassle that person to pay up, regardless of who actually was the debtor in the first place.

Dont respond and they have to actually work for a living instead.

So they have yet another name now

They are also known as GDR Trace and global dept recovery, amoung many others

 

Ignore, they only buy old depts and are totaly toothless
