Whilst i was self employed i ran up a debt of £450 with my accountants.

 

I had to cease self employment and get a "proper job" as i was losing money.

 

My accountants were very good and said "pay what you can,when you can.

 

In july of this year they offered to do my final accounts for the revenue and i paid them £100 off my outstanding bill.

 

They then sent me a bill for another £180 for the work done in July.

 

This week i sent them a further £100

 

to my surprise i received a letter from a debt collection agency asking for £706 which was the 350 + 180 + interest +compensation £40 + costs £100

(the £100 must have crossed in the post.)

 

My question is:

 

can they just pass this debt on to an agency when,

as far as i know,we have an agreement in force and i am keeping to that agreement?

 

I can't pay any more than i am doing as i am up to my limit on my overdraft and also my credit cards.

Since joining CAG and listening to others who have had experiences with these leeches , I now treat DCA's like a boil on the arse.........you can't ignore them , but you don't let them run your life.

You can ignore them. Simply tell them to sod off. Especially if they dont own the debt.

simply contact the accountant and ask for a breakdown of whats is allegedly owed, and ignore the debt collector
