Re: Help with Lowell and Red
Lowell and Red are the same company. Do NOT ring these moron or speak to them if they ring you. They are obviously on a phishing expedition and have probably sent out loads of letters to people with the same name as you in the hope they can CON someone into paying. Send them one simple letter stating that you have never had an O2 contract phone and demand they prove otherwise. Do not get involved in a game of letter ping pong with them

Re: Help with Lowell and Red
I was pursued by these morons for over two years for a none existent orange bill. Like you I have never had a contract phone, I get mine from Tesco.
They would phone and write me for three or four weeks then i would ring them and they would apologies, then I would hear nothing for a few weeks then the letters would start again. They are no risk, it is just very annoying.
However check you credit report just to make sure they have not registered a default.
I eventually settled the mater by sending a letter before action, they sent me a letter confirming all collection activity has been stopped and they suspected some kind of fraud had taken place, protesting that they had bought the account in good faith, whatever.

Re: Help with Lowell and Red
I have checked in my old files and in there I found a letter dated 14/2/12 from 02 which says - We closed an account you had with us on 7/9/10. But you still owe £612 .Details of what that amount is for are on the other side of this letter. it then says - On 23/12/11 we transferred your account and the money you owe to Lowell Portfolio 1 ltd .They`re a dept purchasing company who can help you find ways to repay the money. I got worried and decided to check my Credit report , and on there the only thing I could find was an entry for 02 that's says 02 started 7/3/2008 then Current Balance £0 then settled then it states settlement date 22/5/08 .Then account updated 8/6/2008 ,I don't understand I never had a 02 account so why is that there , ??? What do I do now ?? Please help

Re: Help with Lowell and Red
The Letter from 02 on the 14/2/12 was the first and only letter I got about this at that time and didn't respond as I had never had an account with 02 so though they had got the wrong person and ignored it till I started getting these letters from Lowell and now red , and just don't know what to do.

Re: Help with Lowell and Red
Needless to say, the purported account statements do not make much sense unless someone had fraudulently obtained a mobile phone from O2 using your identity.
How else would any of that even be possible with a pay-as-you-go telephone?
