Not Yes Car this time (at least I hope not, hoping we're well rid of them), but I've been getting calls from someone or other leaving the usual message "Please ring us back, this is a business call" and quoting a reference number. I'll admit I do have a couple of old debts that I'm guessing are being passed from pillar to post when the company who has bought the debt isn't happy that I can't pay it back under their requirements and so sell it on again - these go back about 6 years when I hit a real bad patch. However this morning my next door neighbour has came to let me know that last night one of these companies rang him and told him to get in touch with me. I've only lived in this new property for 18 months, during which time I haven't taken out any credit and to be honest I don't even know this blokes telephone number - so it's not that I would have put him down as some kind of additional contact number. My neighbour confirms he is listed in the phone book, so I guess with the software they could do trace neighbours in my street using address look-ups ( grasping at straws here ?). Can they do this ? None of these outstanding debts are for any great amounts (less than £200) and to be honest what is outstanding would be for stupid additional fees etc that the various agenices have bunged on the bill - all my original borrowing is cleared. Anyone any advice ? |
