Lowell and O2

[daverules]

Hi there,

around two years ago I ended my contract with O2 but after 6 months of doing so they sent me a letter saying I owed monies and this was my final bill, I wrote back telling them I disagreed with this and I owed nothing.

 

From that period I had to deal with 3 DCA's all trying to collect on behalf of O2 with varying different amounts of what i was supposed to owe, I asked each DCA I was dealing with at the time to send me proof and breakdown of this supposed bill and the first two were unable too so went on there merry way while the third did attempt to offer some thing in the way of 3 lots of account statements that ranged from me owing £62, £38 and £0, nothing related to the £79

that was quoted I owed from their demands and certainly different figures each time depending on what DCA I was speaking to at the time.

 

Spoke with last DCA and sent them off with a flea in their ear and that was last I heard for over a year.

 

Seems now Lowell have sent me two letters in the same envelope both dated 23/2/2012 and received on 27/2/2012, one supposedly from O2 saying that they had sold the debt to Lowell’s and any contact with regards to the debt should be directed to them, I say supposedly because of the poor quality paper it was printed on and the fact that it was sent in the same envelope as the Lowell letter advising me of Assignment of debt.

 

I have had no formal notification from O2 apart from the letter that Lowell’s sent me and so do not recognise their right to try and collect on a debt that has never been proved.

 

Letter from Lowell stated that if i do not pay in full or setup a repayment plan in 5 days they will instruct their debt collection agency Red to collect on their behalf.

 

I now await further communication from these idiot's and look forward to telling them where to go.

ahhhh bless Red debt collections the desk behind Lowells, and when you ignore them they pass it to next desk along Hampton Legal....then when thats ignored Lowells write again and guess what it starts all over again

try try and make their spoofing tactics look more real.

Just an update, had a call from Lowell's last week wanting to discuss how I wanted to make the payment, yea as if

 

I allowed the call to go ahead as I have just purchased Trucall and had just taken my happy pills so was in a teasing mood.

 

The gentleman in question wanted to know my telephone numbers and if I owned my own home, well happy pills or no

happy pills I refused to answer any of his questions and only replied that I do not owe a debt and to send me proof of alleged debt

and he kept insisting they had but all they had sent was an amount they claimed I owed with no breakdown or what it was for.

 

He finally he hung up

 

Got an email from them asking me to pay the alleged debt as they can see no reason for me not to, replied to that email with the Prove It Letter.

 

Received a letter today from Red Debt Collections agency as they have been asked to collect on behalf of Lowell Portfolio and to call them to make

payment, I hope they are holding their breath while waiting for me to call.

 

I now await their next call, cant wait.

wooohoooo they haved moved it down a desk to Red.........next on list is Hampton Legal or as they know seem to be known HL solicitors

UPDATE

Received a letter from Lowells today responding to my Prove It Letter to them, they have placed their collections

procedures on hold and have contacted O2 to request an explanation and will get back to me once they

have responded.

 

So now I wait.

Ignore the fools, seriously, give a dog a bone and it will keep coming back.

You owe nothing, they have nothing, you will pay them nothing, ignore them get on with your life, unless of course, as I do, you want to bait them and run the idiots ragged.

Like yourself, I am not adverse to baiting them and will be paying nothing.

On a more serious note, I have never heard of anyone being taken to court for such a pathetic amount, least of all a mobile phone account.
