    Debt Collectors

    When I got back from the Falklands I received a letter from a company called Buchanan Clark and Wells (Debt Collectors) on behalf of Scottish Power saying I owed money for a property I lived in when I wasn't living there. I spoke to them and then spoke with the relevant party to email them...
