Scam Debt collectors! Robinson way ltd.

How many of you have received letters from Robinson way ltd asking for money for an account that does not exist?
I received one today from an address I lived in ten years ago.
Its for a current account amount outstanding.
Funny thing is I am still with the bank and they said I don’t have anything outstanding and acc no on letter doesn’t exist.
They’re out there.
Check out other forums for things they are asking for. Gas bills and all sorts.

Ten years? Real debt or not, it’s statute barred, end of.

OH had a series of letters a while back from a debt collection agency for a non-existent debt, she was considering paying it to avoid the hassle (which is of course what they bank on).

They sent half a dozen increasingly threatening letters, till I sent them a shitogram in reply, not heard from them since. I’ll dig it out.

Dear [name]

Account no: [number]

You have contacted me regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself.

I would point out that I have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to [company].

I am familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

I would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

I would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my liability for the debt in question.

I await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Never heard a dickybird after that.
