BCW and 3 Network

Billybo9

Hi

After i finished my contract with 3 an unpaid bill was due, i forgot about this during the summer as i had a lot going on.. until i received a letter recently from BCW debt collectors saying i owed €140.

I rung and asked for the bill breakdown. They acknowledged and send me a copy of my last 3 Bill for €38. I contacted 3 and was told i only only owed 38 and had to deal with BCW.

I sent cheque to BCW for 38 and recently received a letter threatening court judgement if i dont pay the outstanding balance of 102.
Contacted BCW who extremely rude said that they dont know what the 102 is for and it's 3 network chasing me for this and 3 will pursue me for balance. i asked for a invoice of this and i'd pay it, they refused, they wouldnt tell me what it was for and i had to contact 3 but i had to pay it.

I got through to 3 collection dept. and they told me that on 4th december my outstanding bill of 38 had been payed and i owed them nothing nor do they add late penalty fee's.

So it looks like the 102 is the BCW fee. question is do i ignore them since they refuse to send me an invoice or acknowledge what it's for...or will they take me to court

I would be of the opinion to not pay it until they can provide an invoice and even if they do and it is their fee then I would not pay it as 3 engaged them and not you.

3 have confirmed that you have paid the balance due to them so just ignore bcw. they will not take you to court for €102 and will eventually get tired of contacting you. If they call you just hang up the phone.
