So just ignore till next letter? Something similar happened with another company which went to court. I stated I may have paid that debt previously and that I wasn't aware of the client but I took guess at it etc etc etc. in the end I haven't heard anything back and that was 2 months ago. Hopefully same thing happens here

I've had letter from Lewis debt rec for 2686.82. They state I need to pay by 19th August. I can't find this debt on my Equifax report and though I have had past debts, t hey have been paid and upto date. I dont recognise this amount and no client is mentioned apart from CL finance and a reference number that looks like a mastercard credit card number. Should I ignore this letter? Or should I contact and enquire.

Sorry to hijack this thread but the system isn't allowing me to start a new one. I've also had letter from Lewis debt rec for 2686.82. I can't find this debt on my Equifax report and though I have had past debts, they have been paid and upto date. Should I ignore this letter? Or should I contact and enquire.

I've received a court claim form today and still not sure whether to contest it or not. If I do wont they have to prove that I owe this money and without proof of my payment I guess I'll have to still pay? Not been in this particular situation before so advice would be welcome

I think this debt was originally under Shop Direct then passed on and on through red castle and others until this letter. The letter just states to ring Arrow team but no ref to amount or original debtor. It also states that the charges for action and interest will be added, again with no ref to the actual amount. The first demand from red castle were for about 550 but cant remember exactly. Like i said i paid off all my credit and store card debts about 5 years ago (apart from one to barclacard which im paying off monthly) but hold no proof anymore. I dont know who shop direct is but internet research points to possibly littlewoods (through i think barclaycard), which would have been one of those debts i cleared fully. Im not sure how to proceed with this or to wait till i get the court letter, but all debts i had i can reference thru my credit history apart from this, so any advice will be helpful. There is only one ref to barclaycard i have on file which i am paying off monthly which a fixed sum.

Hi, I can't seem to start a new blog/post but I had been sent letters from collectors such as red castle and other ollectors over past year and have never responded to them as i am not aware of the debt and cuecking my credit file i cant see this debt. I am now contacted by Wilkin chapman who say a claim form has been issued at court and court will serve claim shortly. Do I still ignore this? I think original debt may have been with littlewoods via shop direct but this was paid off about 4 or 5 years ago and I haven't kept the proof. My credit file doesn't have this on there either. Should I now contact them? I don think I should have to pay as I've either paid it already or this is not my debt.

Thanks for advice. I think littlewoods card was run by barclaycard, and again, my credit file doesn't show anything for them other than the card I already have with BC which is upto date.

I have been getting letters for last w months, first from pace and now from Rockwell for this same so called debt, which is now shown as arrow global guernsey limited, where before it was for shop direct. Search has shown that shop direct is littlewoods and I did have an outstanding debt with them which was cleared about 5 or 6 years ago, also with some other debts, aft selling my house. I don't think I have kept any proof of payment, so I'm not sure where I stand with this debt.the amout. Is for £530.50 but today's letter states they will accept lower payment of 447.45. The letter also mentions bailiffs and attachment of earnings etc. I really don't know where I stand unless I can find proof of this debt being cleared. Do I have any options or do I have to pay up again? I haven't contacted the company since being bombarded by them. I also checked my credit file and I can't find any mention of shop direct, arrow or littlewoods.
