I got a letter from Prac about a £40 utility bill debt from 5+ years ago that they've bought (I checked and they are a legitimate company, not a scam organisation). I think from the few weeks after I bought a property before switching supplier.
In the last few months I've had several letters from the council about a different property I formerly owned and rented out, demanding outstanding council tax for periods anywhere between 2 and 6 years ago which they've never asked about previously.
In both cases a faff to prove as it means digging through old records, and they may well all be legitimate.
I was just curious really if others have seen similar - is it a sign everyone is metaphorically searching down the back of the sofa for lost change that wasn't worth chasing before? Or just a coincidence I've had several in the last year?
