Hello

 

I would be grateful for some help with a debt.

 

A while back I had a mobile phone contract with Three. Got into difficulties and started to repay the debt. This was contract no1.

:|

 

I recall receiving a marketing call from Three offering a sim card / possibly another contract with Three. I

don't remember all the details as this was years ago but I think the offer was something like £30 a month plus any calls I make.

This was all done via telephone and no paperwork was signed. Contract no2.

 

A sim arrived but I never used it. I would occasionally receive letters from Three as well as various debt collectors which I ignored.

 

I have now started to receive letters from Lowell and the are chasing over £600 from me for contract no2.:mad2:

 

Whilst I admit I should have sorted this out before it spiralled out of control, I am at a loss as to what I need to do.

 

I cannot afford to pay £600. Incidentally this amount is still climbing

- I am not sure if any of it are charges.

 

All I know is that I never made a single call on the new sim.

 

I would like to know what steps I should take to resolve this.

 

 

Many thanks

DX... Think you mean 3 XD ^__^

Anyhow... Three sell all their debts... I know this for a fact.

 

Might be time to SAR 3 and see what they have! :) £10 and 40 days...

 

We could do with some help from you.

Ok...thanks guys. ...will send 3 a SAR as suggested. In order to get Lowell off my back in the meantime is there a letter I could send them?

 

 

I am determined to fight 3. Most contracts are 12, 18 or 24 months. This has been going on for more 2 years..you would think that at some point the 'contract' would end!!

 

I would be interested to know if anyone else here is in the same situation.

 

Dx...you were asking about the default and dates....can I ask why is this relevant?

 

Thanks for all your help so far.

What exactly am I looking for when I do get the information they hold? :|

 

What will my argument be? What is the significant of the default placed on my file by Lowell???

 

So many questions!!! I only wished I had resolved this ages ago....:sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

I am afraid life happened.

 

I was earning so little money and trying to pay off other debts, this one didn't really feature.

I don't recall getting many letters / bills from three regarding this contract.

 

Because of other debts, I at one point stopped opening all debt type letters as I was 'drowning' in debt and the easy option was to bury my head in sand.

 

It's only recently that I have noticed this debt has grown to over £600 without me ever making a single call on the sim.

 

I suppose the dispute now is how can I owe three money on a sim never activated?

yes ok that is a good point.

 

and one that they cannot disprove either.

 

pers then i'd not be worried about it.

 

you could if you want totally dispute the debt

by stating that the sim was never activated

and as far as you are aware, that never started the contract.
