Robinson Way contacting me with record of previou address over 15 years ago***Resolved***

[writing2rightoff]

Hi

I have just received  a letter dated 10/06.2019 from Robinson Way to my current address wanting  me to contact them back. They show a previous address  that I lived in almost fifteen years ago.  I have no open or closed accounts in my credit  file going back that far!

They say if I am not the named person in the letter that I should contact them so they can update their records?

 

Why would they be contacting me?  it cannot be for a debt? I don't wish to contact them yet if it means I refresh statute barred debts!

 

Look forward to your response.

you cant reset SB if 6yrs have gone.

though you have 2 outstanding CCJ's still?

look at the ref number  they use

does that match any old ref numbers on your old debts..of which I see you have plenty

 

moved to the DCA forum.

Thanks dx100uk

No I don't have any outstanding ccj's

There are two ref numbers on the  letter ....?

[dx100uk]

well use those and check old debts.

I would guess after all this time that it will be a sold on debt

so rway will be chasing for their parent company hoist.

 

were any of you old debts with them?

might be a starting point

I have no record of old debts anymore and do not recognise Robinson Way or  Hoist.

i'd not risk it myself 

for the sake of a 1st class stamp 

send them our SB letter 

with a copy of their letter attached.

 

that'll confuse them

but atleast they'll have your correspondence address just in case.

they are looking for someone with a similar name to you and have done an electoral roll search and picked out all of the likley name and initial combos. peopel generally dot move too far when they move house so it is likely that everyone in the county with your surname and similar initials got the same letter.

They hope someone will recognise it and enter into correspondence. now sending a SB letter will confuse them and that is no bad thing in itself

Hi,

I have received a letter from Robinson Way dated 16th July 2019 acknowledging a SB letter I sent them. They confirm that an account they have with me is statute barred and will be closed.

Many thanks for your support in the replies to this thread.
