jonnythefox Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Does anyone know how many years a debt collector can go back to recover a debt? today i recieved a letter from the 3 mobile phone network claiming i owe them £579 for a phone contract i cancelled in 2006, i never even made a call on it. They say if i dont pay up they will pass the debt on to a company called lowell portfolio ltd, anyone had any dealings with this company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ... for a phone contract i cancelled in 2006, i never even made a call on it. You got any paperwork left over to prove you don't owe anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 3 are the most complained about network, almost everyone I know who has had a contract with them has been bitten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually illegal to pass it over to a debt collector, as you signed the contract with 3 mobile and not the debt collectors.If they do come knocking this is what i did. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CFMQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fezinearticles.com%2F%3FDebt-Collectors-and-the-Law---Know-Your-Rights%26id%3D3231761&ei=jIveTYO4M5C68gPyjvSfCg&usg=AFQjCNFOjz1qm3Y8f_0CqBQODlqTPNd7ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
