Hi,
We've received a letter today from a debt collection agency working on behalf of my DP's ex-employers demanding nearly £2k in over paid wages. The letter states that ex-employers have tried to contact us but to no avail. We've had no communications AT ALL, let alone about this. We can't see where on earth they've got this over payment from, and besides, we can't pay it.
It's supposed to be our anniversary celebrations tonight, instead we are now both very upset.
Is there anything at all we can do? Is it even legal to pass to a debt collection agency without trying to recover the "debt" from us first?
Thanks in advance
