Newman DCA - Ebay fees

[Criticalmass]

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section - please move mods if it is the case.

 

Ive owed ebay £40 in fees for the last couple of months, i paid off £10 through ebay. It then got handed to Newman DCA who rang me last week asking when i can pay. I said next friday (today - 21/09/12).

 

So the debt is clear. I told newman this and they said i still owe them £8 in admin fees.

 

So, can i mug them off and not pay, do i have to pay them. From reading on here i dont. But just want confirmation - i am aware they'll still chase me for a while.

 

I said on the phone to them i wasnt going to pay an admin fee when they havent collected any money from me, they acknowledged and accepted id paid the debt off direct with ebay. But then said i still owed them the £8 admin fees - which again i said i wasnt going to pay as they hadnt collected anything off me, all i was told is you're still liable and you'll receive a letter.

 

Also i might add, my ebay account is registered at my previous (parents) address, but i gave my home address, not thinking. But she accepted it as me confirming my details.

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks

Gareth

Dont pay any "admin fees". These have no basis to the debt and are simply there for them to profit from you.
