  • Hello! Lowell Financial and 3 mobile

    Hello to all!

    Lowell Financial are chasing my son over a less than £45 bill from 3 mobile from 2011. He had no knowledge of this amount, as he assumed his contract was completed and paid up. (He had moved address shortly after the end of the phone contract.)
    Lowell have inflated the amount they would like given to them to £250 plus for some reason... Here is the text of a letter my son sent earlier to 3..

    I refer you to my letter dated 28.1.15 (copy enclosed) to which I have not as yet received any response.
    The only communication I have had on this matter is a letter from LOWELL PORTFOLIO dated 16.1.15.
    I expect a response to my letter to your company. Please note and do not further ignore the comments in my earlier letter regarding the FCA rules on ignoring customer’s dispute of this alleged debt.
    Your original letter dated 22/1/15 suggested a 20 day period in which to settle this alleged debt. The letter from LOWELL PORTFOLIO dated 16.1.15, suggested you passed on the ‘debt’ to them on 23/12/14 –practically a month before you contacted me regarding your allegation.
    Frankly, I think this whole issue is an illegal process. I dispute the original debt. I have no intention of corresponding with LOWELL PORTFOLIO on this matter, and am still awaiting a response to my letter to your company.
    If you continue to harass me on this issue, I will take further legal advice. Any charges incurred as a result of taking legal advice will be referred on for payment to your company.

    Yours faithfully,

    We thought that might be the end of it...never had any response from 3 - but this week he received another letter from Lowell Financial expressing their regret that no money has been sent to them, and enclosing an apparent bill from 3 showing £45 outstanding...he's never seen this before. They would still like £250 to settle with them.
    Can we ignore Lowell?
    Or refer them to the earlier letter to 3 as above?
    Any advice gratefully received!
    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Welcome aboard

    If he's not dealt with Lowell about this account before, I would be inclined to send Lowell a prove it letter such as the one here: http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...835#post478835

    That means they should be able to prove that he owes what they are asking for or go away. :thumb:

        Hi again...
        Apparently Lowells have enclosed a copy of an alleged 3 invoice with one of their letters....would that negate the value of the 'prove it' letter?
        Would you have any view on the concern expressed below from a letter we sent to 3?
        Your original letter dated 22/1/15 suggested a 20 day period in which to settle this alleged debt. The letter from LOWELL PORTFOLIO dated 16.1.15, suggested you passed on the ‘debt’ to them on 23/12/14 –practically a month before you contacted me regarding your allegation.
        Aren't 3 in the wrong for selling on the alleged debt before the 20 day period had expired (or even begun?)
        Cheers,
        Mike.

          Part of the prove it letter is also asking for them to demonstrate that they have the right to collect any monies owed. If I wrote to you demanding £100 for an old debt would you pay me or tell me to go and do one ?
