Wierd letter any ideas?

Hi uk people i got a letter on sat

From what looked like a debt collection service the letter came second class and i did not have to sign for it. It says i owe them £1150 But i havent spent or brought anything for that amount and i havent had any warning letters previous to this. The wierd thing is that i couldnt turn up the address or company in google. And they diddnt state the name of the company they were collecting the money for it only had an address no company name. It did have a 0870 number to ring but all i got was an ansering machine

Any ideas

Thanks
karl

I get letters and notices like that all the time, and you know what? there is still a nice big pile of them behind my front door, I don't even waste my time picking them up anymore

It's definately a debt agency...trust me ;)

Considering the costs of stamps, paper, etc. I'd say he'd need to "convert" below 1:1000.

1:10k is his jailtime conversion

Could be an old bill you forgot about --or could be a phony bill, an attempt to defraud. Pass it on to your lawyer.
