Hi guys
really panicking here, they're are chasing me for a vodafone account from over 6 years ago. I got in a lot of debt when i was younger but paid it all off except for debts i didn't believe i owed. this being one of them, at the time i was with vodafone i just wasnt getting what i was paying for, calls kept disconnecting, messages not going through. complained multiple times to vodafone with no action. eventually i cancelled my direct debit and explained to them why. years went by till lowells got hold of it.
Ive been communicating with them normally explained why i don't think i owe this debt (its for £994 by the way which is ridiculous) and they said they'd look into it. i emailed them back the other day and they were wanting more personal details from me than i was prepared to give to a company i don't know. i said I've got their letter and ref number and i wanted to make sure I owe the money and I'm not giving out all my personal details, i wanted a copy of the original signed contract and they're claiming i made a payment to the account 5 years ago (which I have no record of) so i asked them for proof of this.
next thing i get the count court claim form through the door? really not sure what to do and panicking a bit as all the work to paying off my debts will be for nothing if they successfully get this against me, what can i do?
I hope I've written the format right below this is my first time on these forums, I've already been on the MCOL site and acknowledged the claim
thanks in advance, Steve
