Lewis Group one week/Iqor the next
Hi, first post here so go easy on me, but have lurked for a long time and really get a lot from the various posts on this forum!
Recieved a doorstep visit card on the 21st March from a collector from Ashton that was logo'd from The Lewis Group. As there was no details on the card other than his mobile and stating that the client was Gothia Ltd, I had no idea what the matter related to (i.e. no reference numbers or amounts etc). The very next day, sent off an email, fax and 2 recorded delivery letters withdrawing "implied right to visit" to The Lewis Group (Belfast and my most local office in Cleakheaton - as I assumed that was where agent may be based from). These were both recieved by them on 2nd April, according to Royal Mail track and trace. Have not recieved any correspondence back from them since.
Fast forward to 7th April and I return home to find another brown visit envelope but this one is from iQor Recovery Services but here's the strange part, from the same guy Ashton (and before you ask, same handwriting and same mobile contact number). States the same client Gothia and this time with a rather eye watering amount on the balance!! Definitely not an amount I recognise as I am unaware of anything owed to Gothia nor any debt I might owe to any company on this scale.
So, it would seem that there are 3 DCAs involved here, with the agent representing 2 of them if not possibly all 3. What are my next steps here, do I write another batch of withdrawing right to visit letters to iQor and or Gothia? I am at a loss, and although aware that I should be corresponding with one of these organisations regarding what debt they are chasing, requesting notice of assignment and also CCA requests etc., which one??? Any insights on this would be much appreciated. The only possible explaination I have is one DCA collecting for another DCA but never realised that they use the same agents or are they linked in some way?
