It's your choice Edd albeit why pay more than you should / need to. Bully boy tactics should never win the day IMHO.
BT etc sell on "debts" so they probably already have a proportion of the £133 that you "owe" with the debt collection co pocketing the difference ... that's why the debt co is so interested in it (they've paid BT already).
Pls dump BT though if you do pay up ...

I'd love to get rid of BT but we are stuck in a contract with them - its gone so flaming **** up I don't even know if we are on a 24 or 12 month contract. Its very a expensive tariff from what I can tell but again I've no idea as I'm yet to see a bill.
Like I said, I would fight it to my last breath but if for any reason things get worse then I'll get the blame from the wife for not paying it.

If the debt agency holds the OPs name and address and are sending him letters, then they have processed his data and in effect BT have breached the DPA. Thats what I assume has happened, else why would he be opening letters sent to his premises, but addressed to someone else?

The debt isn't in our name at all.
The debt is in the name of the limited company that used to own the business.
The limited company used to own the hair salon as a going concern. We bought the business - not the limited company.
We have nothing to do with the limited company - its their name on the debt collection correspondence. Not ours.
Told the wife to make sure she has proof of who she is and have photocopied the first page of the purchase contract showing the date it was signed.
