BPO Collections (Sky)

[essjaydee]

Hi all,

 

I've already had a search around the pages here and have seen plenty about this collection agency, but just wanted to confirm that the best course of action is to totally ignore them?

 

I closed my account with Sky back in September 2013 and as far as I am aware had no outstanding payments due. BPO have started calling on my mobile semi-regularly (once or twice a week) and have sent a couple of emails (although these went straight into my junk folder).

 

Thus far I haven't answered the phone nor responded to the emails - if I should be doing anything to the contrary, it would be great to know.

 

Thanks guys!

Wait for something more concrete and if they ring either ignore it or Just laugh at their security questions

An update on this... I've continued to receive calls / emails as I described in my first post, but have now received a letter as well. This was actually from a completely different company, called "Past Due Credit Solutions".

 

It has "FORMAL DEMAND' at the top and says I need to pay the outstanding amount by a certain date to avoid further calls / costs etc. Shall I ignore this as well?

 

Thanks in advance!

PDCS are just another Monkey outfit that likes to send out big scary looking letters - these mainly have red crayon at the top.

 

How much is Sky after?

 

Did you contact Sky as advised earlier?

Ignore ignore and ignore!

[essjaydee]

Haha, will do... Unbelievably, it's only £15!

Unbelievably, it's only £15!

 

Deffo ignore then and let them waste half a tree on you.

 

Might be best though to have a look at your Credit File just to see if a default marker has been applied.

As it is a recent dated claim you should contact Sky ask them what it is for and either dispute it with them or pay it if you feel it is fair.

Remind them, that they (Sky) are solely responsible for the actions of their chosen third party DCA, this includes their continued harassment, which you have recorded by date and time, and have added your costs to each of these calls, currently £18 LiP costs, should they feel the need to pursue this through the courts.

 

If you've not already, send these jokers PDCS the telephone harassment letter.
