    help please

    Today I received an email from "contact from ruthbridge.com " saying they are acting on behalf of their client 'Cabot Financial' and asking me to confirm an old address in UK. I did a search on ruthbridge.com and they are a debt recovery business.
    I recently informed Cabot Financial that I now live in Thailand and wonder if that has created this? I have not been able to pay anything to Cabot for several months, and had written to inform them of this.
    I now retired and live in Thailand -but they want an address in Uk. Why? I am unsure if I should respond?
    One of the reasons I am worried about this is that I had permission from a friend to use her address in UK a few years ago - they are now asking me about this address. The address they ask for is one I never really lived at -just one I used for a few things.I stupidly put that address on the electoral roll,and credit cards - I have changed those things now.
    . I am very worried that my friend will be contacted, or visited. I really want to avoid that.
    My debt to Cabot is 6300 pounds.
    I am not in a position to pay anything regarding this debt and any advice is much appreciated.

      all your friend needs to say they do not know your whereabouts and you do not live there etc.

        Thank you. I have no property in UK. But I just worry my good friend will get contacted and/or visited by creditors(she would not like that) as it was a registered address in UK for me. They also have my address in Thailand. Does them knowing where I am in Thailand make any difference?

            And, here is a thread you will DEFINITELY want to read. It is well over two years old, but the content is as valid as ever despite the rather conspicuous warning message. It dates from just after I joined the forum.

            Yes, I've got a good.....oh, what's that bloody thing called? Oh, I'll think of it in a minute....Nah, can't remember. Sorry.
