Has anyone heard of Aktiv Kapital? We had our house repossessed about 12 years ago and moved without letting them know where we were going. We have now moved again and have been here for about 2 years - during this 2 years I have been having post redirected and yesterday received a redirected letter from Aktiv Kapital saying I owe them £106 - I have never heard of them and have never received a letter from them during the 2 years I have lived here.

Should I just ignore te letter?

They are a debt collection company, originally based in Oslo but with offices all over including the UK. If you search Google their website comes up.

I once had a letter similar to yours from another company that i had never heard of. I ignored the letter. It wasnt until I had bailiffs on the door that I realised they were a genuine company. I have heard of Aktiv Kapital I know they have an office in Chester near where I live and also one in Caerphilly. My advice would be to give them a call and check it out. And I dont want to be rude but it is an offence not to keep your records updated by letting creditors know where you live. I moved and thats where the problems started for me because I didnt update my records and they managed to track me down.
