Lowell letters

[Parker6650]

Lowell have been sending me letters for 2 mobile phone accounts that i didnt pay 4 yrs ago and now they have handed it to their solicitors who have sent me a letter asking me to get in touch with them.
what should i do ? Starting to panic

Who were the contracts with and when were they taken out?

Was there any reason why you didn't pay the two accounts?

How much is it they are claiming for each account?

Are you in a position to pay for it either as a lump sum or instalments?

If payments stopped around 4 years ago then it would probably be difficult to drag this out for another 2 years to make their claim statute barred. I'd imagine within the next 6 months they are probably likely to issue a claim if some form of payment isn't made.

The more information you provide, the better we can assist you.

Thanks rob i will post some more info tomorrow and thanks for respoding to my post its most appreciated.

The 2 accounts where with three mobile both for £500 so around £1000 give or take.
i stopped paying as i was suffering from depression and going through a divorce and ive since moved from scotland to england.

Also its been so long now that im not sure that the amounts they are asking for are correct.

[Parker6650]

One account was opened on july 2012 and the other was april 2014

[Parker6650]

just received a letter from Lowell solicitors with a claim form …...what should I do now ?

[Parker6650]

I sent of a prove it letter as im not prepared to pay the amount that they say I owe.

Rather being hasty and sending letters, why not just take a step back for a second and get some assistance from us? If they have sent you a prove it letter, there's probably more you can ask them for than just proving it.

It would be helpful if you could post up the letter before claim as well as your response (personal info redacted) and we can see what we are looking at.
