Its probably just random mailinthing g - I got one the other day from same company, Ive been employed by same company for over 4 years, and no loans or debts - although i do use an online clothing company who i have a credit account with. Thought maybe they got it from them, but i double checked and they dont sell the info to third party.

I'm sure it doesn't matter, soapy

Having read what Lmcc said it was probably pure fluke so I will have to content myself with sending them pounds of junk mail instead of wreaking hideous financial revenge.
