I reviewed the Statute barred letter and it doesn't seem to fit my circumstances. The debt isn't mine in the first place and the template seems to outline that I haven't been in touch with them in 6 years which I have but it's been mainly asking them to prove the debt. Does that template still apply? Any advice is greatly appreciated. H.

I too have been plagued by Robinsons Way for years now with them passing me from one debt agency to the next and now ending up back with them. I sent them a 'prove it' letter and they sent two letters back stating they are waiting for a response from British Gas. A letter arrived yesterday stating that they couldn't prove it but asking me to send them a cheque to pay the debt. The audacity! The fact that they can't prove the debt is mine yet still expect me to pay it. Surely what they are doing isn't legal. It's harassment! I cannot understand how they are allowed to get away with this behaviour.

Despite sending them a letter informing them British Gas aren't aware of the debt (including the email from BGas) they have now passed me on to a solicitor (Horwich Farrelly) who works from the same address as them. I am now getting demand letters and they are threatening court action. The letters seem to have slowed down from one a week to one a month though. I will resend to Mr. Farrelly what I sent to Robinsons Way and ask they don't contact me again - is this the best course of action?

Thanks for your advice. I emailed BGas and they have come back to say they have no record of the debt. Consequently I will write to the numpties at Robinsons Way and let them know that BGas has no record of the debt and that I will not be paying a cent to a company that is essentially operating this way. They have claimed they have bought the debt on 'good will' and expect me to pay on 'good will'. I honestly think this is some kind of joke! Yes Sir, happy to had over my hard earned money on a whim just because you're asking for it?! Honestly!

Hi there, Hoping for some advice on Robinsons Way. I have received a letter from them asking me to pay an ex-British Gas bill from back in 2007. I spoke to a woman on the phone and she started yelling and talking over me when I asked her to send through date/time confirmation by post to prove I owe the debt because I felt they could be some random company phoning up people asking for credit card details for 'apparent debt'. Today I received a phonecall on my work phone number. I immediately put the phone down but later phoned back and spoke to a chap who couldn't understand why I was asking for proof that I owe the debt? He said they have purchased the debt on good will from British Gas?! Surely they should be able to prove that I owe the money by sending me an outstanding B-Gas bill before requesting I pay the amount. It is only for £39 but I'm going on principle here. I have been reading the threads and understand a 6 year gap is required but surely they can't ask me to pay without proper proof? Your advice would be much appreciated. Kind regards hk
