Hello everyone.
I just received a very disturbing letter from a company called Equita, stating that I owe them 108 GBP, and demanding immediate payment, or my goods will be removed and sold on auction. There was also a telephone number on which I called, and got transfered to bailiff's number (voicemail answered, i asked for contact to explain why they think I owe them anything). The problem is - the letter I got isn't explain anything (simply - "You owe us money. We are very disappointed that you still didn't pay. Pay now"!). I still don't knhow why they think I owe them money, I haven't received any other letters from them or from anyone else. I've read on Equita website that they are dealing with mortgages, council tax and road conviction issues. From those three option, only the last one is possible. I don't have mortgage, and - since I arrived to this country - never paid a council tax. I contacted DVLA - no penalty points on my drivers license. So, the only logical explanation is - parking fine. But, I never got any letters stating that I parked illegally and have to pay fine. And never saw a charge ticket behind my wiper...
So - what should I do now? I'm scarred like hell of this all... If I really got a fine, I would like to pay it, and finish the whole story. I only want to know what I done... What should be my next step?
Kind regards
Peter
