  • Hello Legalbeagles family!!

    Before I post anything - First and foremost, a massive THANK YOU to all contributors here. It is indeed a real lifesaver to have a forum such as this, to, at the very least, alleviate one's fears and arm oneself with the knowledge and tools to stand-up for the rights that govern us as a free people.

    I have been working abroad for last 6 years, and have recently returned, in Feb 2018. I have since received a few texts from PRA Group, to contact them – of which I have not made any contact.
    I can only think this is related to a defaulted payment on my MBNA credit card, which had, as far as I remember, a couple hundred quid outstanding (yeah, completely forgot about that!)

    I have, on my return, moved to a different part of the country, and have registered on the local electoral roll, updated address on HMRC, Council Tax, Car insurance, tenancy etc…

    Strange thing - 4 days ago, I received a text from Royal Mail stating a signed for delivery of an item would be made to my address, on that day. A few hours later, I received a text to the effect of ‘Item Delivery has been made – to you or your neighbour’ – I have not received anything, no calling card, ie, RM Parcel Left with…’ Neighbours haven’t received anything.

    Now, I am thinking that perhaps, this is a ‘Before Claim/Claim form’ that might have been sent by PRA Group to my old address. (just did a Trust online search at my old address, no CCJ’s there)

    Do I:
    • Contact PRA group via email– Requesting information regarding their sent texts, and to send the correspondence to my updated current address. Worded in a manner without resetting the SB clock – as I realise it is nearing its 6th Birthday! – If so, what should I send, ie, form/template?

    Not sure how to proceed – would welcome any thoughts!

    Thank you all!

    Go on the royal mail tracking and see where the item was posted, it should also have information of whom has signed for it where.

    Do not call PRA.

    You say you have been away for 6 years, when was the last payment and is the debt still showing on your credit file?

      Did the texts have a tracking number on them? I have never received a text from anyone saying a registered letter was being delivered. I do get them from Amazon saying it is out for delivery but not from RM


      I think this might be some sort of scam. Maybe trying to get you to call a phone number that is a premium rate one

      I would ignore for now

        Hey everybody - false alarm. Checked it out, and apparently, a genuine error on RM side.

        Thanks again
