This entry relates to a collection.

A note addressed to the householder arrived, urging me to call a number if I knew the previous tenant's whereabouts. No explanation, no letterhead—likely a debt collector using a shady, unpleasant approach by sending anonymous letters to former contacts. Whether I knew her location or not, I’d shred it and toss it.

Received a letter asking for my address and a reference number. Other reviews mention debt‑management ties. I’m definitely not in debt, so I’d happily visit their office with my crew to inspect the building and settle any alleged debt – just kidding.

Receiving a letter lacking a clear sender is typically a scam or a solicitor's ploy, often addressed as 'To the occupier.' Inside, it asks, 'Do you know the whereabouts of…,' sounding like a criminal inquiry. Here, Telecom appears to be fishing for easy threat money, alleging you moved and left an unpaid debt. Not long ago in New Zealand, Telecom (now Spark) and Vodafone (now ONE) faced similar accusations—perhaps that’s why they rebranded. Their history includes predatory billing and false‑charge harassment.

I received a creepy letter stating, “Should I know the whereabouts of xx xxxxx xxxxx, please telephone 0800xxxxxx and ask for assistance,” and it included a six‑digit code. I suspect a debt collector is pursuing someone who lived at my address for the past year, a person I’ve never known. They should probably contact the courts, justice department, WINZ, or similar authorities instead.
