Hi,

I have come had a recovery letter sent from BPO Collections trying to recover 0.88p from a 2 year old Plusnet internet account?

Other than being slightly stunned that a DCA would purchase a debt of 0.88p - I wanted some advise on the best way to proceed as I dont want to give BPO my card details ets and Plusnet are refused to deal with me or take any payment for this ridiculous amount.

Cheers

Hi

You have to be kidding. 88p! Please post this letter up with no identifiable details on it.

I would write to the CEO and expose them to all and sundry

I am serious..

This has got to be the thread of the week

You just couldn't make it up. They could send two letters to you and that would negate any amount due. I would send them 88 pennies, neatly sellotaped to a piece of card and sod the postage costs.

'Accidentally forget to add postage' so that they have to pay to get the letter. That would be soo funny.

It'd be hard to accidentally forget to put the stamp on, and then they might well try and say it was deliberate and try to get anything they have to pay for postage back.

Me, I'm just careless sometimes.... I mean I might not realise that I'd put it in a large letter envelope rather than a small letter envelope, even if 88 pennies came within the weight allowed for a single 1st class (small letter) stamp ......

If your eyesight isn't particularly good, a 1p stamp could be mistaken for a first class stamp.

88 pennies would weigh in at around 320g, so a first class stamp wouldn't cover the cost of posting anyway.

Just for fun id ring them and tell them to send it back to the creditor ...

Seriously DCAs do stoop to new lows....

If you don't respond at all, they may continue to write ......................................

What are they going to do if you don't reply-send an agent round to your house or take you to Court?

ignore

they write even more if you do

ignore

they write even more if you do

Come, come : CAG doesn't encourage debt avoidance..... I'm sure the OP is open to discussion of ways then can settle it IF they are concerned it is owed .........

Seriously, though - make sure they haven't made an entry on your credit file .....

let them write - their monies at least you would have plenty of back up paper for the loo (make sure you use with print on the outside)! & the postage they would end up paying before a buffoon in office wakes up!

sorry wrong attachment above would of been photo of toilet roll could not delete it

only 25p in coppers is legal tender.

Itf this is your debt I would be asking them for a payment plan. Tell them that the first payment is by way of postage stamps attached to the outside of this letter's envelope.

Is it possible you could edit the document and repost it please

And, did you make payment or ignore ?
