i know those charming neanderthals who make the threatening phone calls and make the house visits are less than charming but it is legally classified as harassment.

No, I wasn't living at my parents address before either. This debt collection company obviously found my dad but not me. How I do not know, since I am on the electoral roll and all sorts!

I know I could have fought it, but my dad was ill at the time, and I really didn't want them calling him, which they continued to do.

Still, I am happy that they obviously paid for the 'debt' off vodafone, and since I paid vodafone back they will be losing money out of that one.

yeah. on paper it's winnable but in the cold light of day with the rest of your life also smacking you in the teeth, it can be a little overwhelming.
