I have a number of debts dating from around 2008 - 2012.
I had a child and relationship break up in 2010. I was homeless between 2010 - 2011 and moved to my current address in 2011.
I am aware there were a couple of debts from before my break up which would not have been settled. However, as it was so long ago, I don't recall who they were with.
Aside from this, a number of debts also showed up on my credit report ranging from 2008 up to as late as 2013 which most definitely aren't mine. They appear to be catalogues and registered at an address which I've never lived at. One was opened in 2013 - I was at my current address in 2013 - a different address to where this account was opened.
Today, I have received, what looks like, County Court documents from Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd.
It says it is for a debt which defaulted in 2012. Ive just checked my credit report and that states the original account was opened in 2008. However, both sources only cite my current address and without knowing what address the account was opened with, I have no idea whether or not it actually belongs to me.
It says I have 14 days to respond.
Do I contact Lowell directly and ask for the historic information on this account?
Or do I just dispute it on this paperwork?
Note: I have disputed the debts which don't belong to me in the past. Lowell remain insistent they are mine and they still appear on my credit report.
