I am currently in the process of dealing with Eversheds regarding a shortfall claim going back 6 years. They contacted me recently with a short letter asking me to phone to discuss the matter. Thanks to the advice on this site I did no such thing and have written instead asking for full details of the debt. That was two weeks ago.(posted 8294 days ago)I have not heard back, but my mother has received a compliment slip from a company called WM Associates, asking her to phone them 'regarding an important matter'. The envelope was marked urgent. My sister, who works for a solicitors firm has taken advice and it turns out that WMA are enquiry agents. I assume this has something to do with my debt. As Eversheds have my address and I am in contact with them, I can only assume that they are trying to find out through my mother either my telephone number (which they don't have), or whether I am working or not. When Eversheds originally traced me 3 years ago it was through a phone call to my mother's home. Her phone number has since changed and is now ex-directory! This is what makes me think they are trying to use her again to get info about me.
My questions are as follows: 1) Would Eversheds go to such lengths to find out my phone number? 2) I am pretty certain that Eversheds already have my NI number, could they not use that to find out where I am working? 3) Am I just being paranoid, and could this be a completely unrelated matter?
I would really appreciate any advice you could offer. Thanks.
