Capital Reserve chasing £22 on behalf of a local dental practice. from 2011!

Hi, 

I was hoping maybe somebody could offer some advice on this:

 

I've had a payment demand letter from Capital Reserve for £22.  This is on behalf of a local dental practice.

 

In Feb 2011 I had dental treatment which was paid for in cash and a receipt given.  Around 6 months later the dentist wrote to me requesting payment.  I telephoned them pointing out that I had already paid and they apologized for their error.

I considered the matter closed until June and August 2021 when the dental practice sent me two letters for an outstanding payment of £16.

 

I ignored these letters assuming it was past the statute limitation and thought they were just fishing for cash.  But it seems they have passed it on to a DCA.

 

I have had no treatment or contact with this dental practice since 2011, and unfortunately I no longer have the initial receipt due to how long ago it was.

 

TIA

Thank you for your replies.  I will send the statue barred letter as suggested.  Hopefully this will put an end to it.

 

Many Thanks.

Just ruddy scammers that prey on people that think any DCA is a BAILIFF, they are not and have absolutely ZERO legal powers on ANY debt, no matter what it's type!

 

Read the sb letter yourself, and keep a log of anything more, then comeback here, under CONC they must cease. Else..
