DLC continue to send annual statement for Shell Card debt

[theoldgit]

A year or so ago I received a letter from the clowns at DLC about a Shell Card debt that one of their companies had seemingly purchased. I wrote to them advising that I knew nothing about the debt adding that, to my knowledge, I had never had a Shell Card, I heard no more.

 

Last month I received an "annual statement" regarding this so called account, should I remind them that I don't acknowledge this debt, or just ignore?

Ignore them but keep any letters for reference.

Just received a further letter from these muppets advising me that they have been trying to contact me [no they haven't] and I am about to go onto their debt surveillance programme, this will involve frequent visits from their [undercover?] agents and an examination of my financial affairs. Now I realise this is just a template and a scare tactic but it is beginning to hack me off, which I assume is the object of the excercise, but given I have already written to them and advised this company, in their various guises, that I know nothing about their fcuking seaShell card are they pushing their luck to try and check my affairs?

 

Whilst I agree that I having advised them that I don't know anything about this account that I should probably continue to ignore any further correspondence, as they have ignored my letter, I feel like writing to them and reminding them that I wrote to them denying this account is mine, and nothing has changed and continuing to send letters demanding I pay them will suddenly make this debt mine, what do you think?

 

They have said that if I would like to send them an SMS message they will call me back, now that is tempting, I could get a cheapo sim card for a quid and let them rack up their International Call Charges.

Personally I'd carry on ignoring them but if you feel you have the time and patience to string them along it's better than watching repeats on the telly.

It is a legal requirement for all CCA regulated agreements to have an annual statement sent out. I might just be that they are ensuring that they are adhering to the regulations, and little else.
