write to the company for the Data Protection Act reequest (they have to hold your details for 6 years by law even if the company was bought out)
write to the
debt collectors, advising that this debt is from unlawful charges and it therefore in dispute.
The company have to repay it, however it is not unheard of that if the
debt collectors OWN the debt, then you could get the refund from the company, then offer a % to pay off the debt with the agency, therefore actually saving yourself money!
Hope this makes sense!
