OK thanks I'll get onto orange.

Sorry, I made a mistake on the date above, the default expires on Feb 14. ta

Hi, I'm new here so hope I am posting this in the right place. Sometime ago I received a letter from Arrow Global stating that they had purchased a debt from Orange Communications for app. £60. Due to the passage of time (Feb 08) I had no record of this. I wrote back to them requesting more details of the debt and they were able to provide me with a mobile telephone number that I did not recognise. They sent several more demands for payment and in the end I explained to them that I was not happy with the way they had contacted me out of the blue and had not supplied sufficient evidence that the debt was actually mine and therefore I am disputing the case. I never heard from them again. I assumed they had given up, but then when I applied for credit recently and was declined I checked my credit file and realised that they had recorded a default for £60 which will remain on my file until Feb 13. I have written to them to complain about this. They hav not responded but instead have handed the complaint to Rossendales who are now chasing me for the £60. The 2 things that have annoyed me are how can a DCA leave a default and then sell the debt onto another DCA, it does not seem fair. I have also written to the OFT and the Financial Ombudsman who have basically said they can log my complaint but cant help with specific issues. Do I have any rights?
