I had tons of them, and actually Mercers did eventually turn up after about 8 months of non payment. She was a nice lady and I explained I was going through an IVA, she then left. They are just debt collectors, not baliffs and the chances of them of turning up are slim.

Just ignore it.

Good afternoon,

They should not be texting you now that you are BR

Let them have your BR number and court reference and the date you went BR

Also worth mentioning to OR too.

They cannot now do anything as the debt will have been captured within your BR - Tell them that!
