LCS

[dogtired]

Have any Beagles had dealings with this lot?
My brother has recently moved into a Sheltered Housing Complex.
He tells me he had a letter addressed " For attention of Tenant or Landlord".
Apparently about an outstanding utility bill with British Gas.
His supplier is EON.
But who are this lot cannot find any mention on LB.
Based in Leeds, apparently

Some posts from MSE, they will be chasing the last tenant I had this with a different collection agency when we moved in, long as you have meter readings and date you moved in etc there will be no problem, but as is stated on the link below maybe just ignore it.

Re: LCS

Hi dt.
LCS are simply debt collectors for BG, (and completely toothless!)

If 'twas I the alternatives I would consider are ignore and put up with endless letters, or write saying the current tenant (no names!) denies any debt with BG, who are not current suppliers to the property and have never supplied the current tenant.
Instruct them to return the matter to BG, and to stop writing begging letters to current tenant.
Signed with an indeterminate squiggle!

Letters should be sent to landlord at landlord's address, not the tenant's. The tenant does not run a forwarding service.
If letters arrive addressed to the landlord the tenant can either readdress them (if he knows the address) or just mark them "gone away" and leave postal authorities to deal with.

Re: LCS

Thank you, sent him the link.
It would also appear that some of the other Tennant have had similar letters.
He is also getting in touch with the Landlord tomorrow
