I do not have, or have ever had, any debt owing or allegedly owed to those rogues.
On 30 July 2011, I was reading about the antics of the HFO group of companies which the Office of Faffing and Twaddling has recently been threatening to do something about.
On seeing an allegation on another website that HFO seems to be linked to Silverpoint Delivery Solutions and to use postcards purporting to be from that company to elicit data from alleged debtors, I visited their site to see if it would tell me anything more.
I was particularly interested in a little gem I discovered on their Terms and Conditions page - link - a screen capture of which is below.
Under the heading of Consumer Rights, they state:
As we all know, the maximum fee payable for a Subject Access Request made under section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998 is £10, so why is a firm supposedly linked to a load of lawyers asking for a fee of £25?
Do you suppose the Office of the Information Commissioner knows about this?

You also have the right to request a copy of all the personal information we hold about you. To do this, please write to our registered office address enclosing a cheque for £25 payable to Silverpoint Delivery Solutions to cover our administrative costs.
