Resolve

[Bishbashbosh]

Hi .i had a text from resolve to say to ring them urgently, when I called they said I owed Next over £1000 and the debt was 22yrs old . I said I can’t remember last week let alone 22yrs ago . Could they send any information that I owed this money asi don’t think I owe this , they said they don’t send out info .
I moved 4 years ago from my last address and the lady who is now in my old house gave them my new telephone number .
what do I do . The lady in my old house said a man turned up on the doorstep asking for me .
any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Bish

Welcome to LB

I'd be tempted to send Resolve a 'prove it letter' (because of the age of the debt), see what they comeback with, hopefully nothing meaningful, make sure you get Proof of Postage -

Do include in your 'prove it' letter confirmation of your current address. That's important because in the (highly unlikely) case that proceedings were started you would know about it and they wouldn't be able to get a default judgement by using an old address..
