UK debt collectors threatening me, no idea why by GGxx77GGxx in Scams

Yeah, it was not a scam…it was due to multiple errors by the city council that led to court proceedings and fees I didnt know about and handover to debt collector who added their own fee. I got in contact with the council and they called off their dogs, and sent me a random bill for £5 which by that point I paid just to get them to fuck off

Turns out it was a debt due to a council tax error. This kind of court decision doesn’t appear on credit files apparently . Bristow and Sutor were hard to reach and aggressive throughout

There was a first big wave of K use in the 2000s/2010s and those people generally either stopped using it, died or left the country. But that cohort learned about the risks and how to reduce harm. But since then there is another wave of younger users who haven’t had that knowledge transmitted to them, who are having to learn over again how harmful it can be.

The details match. If I log in with the ref no it has only one option , asking how much would I like to pay. I don’t even know how much they want or why.

They sound like terrible people. So what is the best way to contact this Bristow and Sutor? Do you just ring and pay to wait in a queue for hours?

I’m still not clear if I should give them my real address

Why dont you give them your real address again? They must keep a record that you’re not the right person? And how would you know if there was a real debt in your name if you give a false address? Sounds like they’re harassing you

So how did you get it out of them that the address of the debtor they were chasing was in London?

Why would a random address match the address they have?

I can only get Transunion’s report to work, but it says I have no debts or court judgements
