Bailiff question

[*_ash_* 88]

Have a look at this please, it came through my door the other day.

It looks quite official, but on closer inspection, it looks a bit scammy. Spelling mistake, no address on it, and the capitals seems to be a bit hazy with its meaning.

 

Any ideas? I'm not sure what to do with this. I've tried ringing the mobile number on the form, and it doesn't exist.

 

I get lots of mail for people who used to live here, and I stick them all in the post with not known at this address, but this perhaps needs more attention. I don't want to come home to find someone has broken in.

Looks dodgy! A quick phone call to the court on Monday morning should tell you if its a genuine case number.

Who was it addressed to?

 

Ring HCEG on 01492 539039 http://www.hcegroup.co.uk/offices/ and ask what's going on.

 

Might also be worth giving the Scot Group a bell tomorrow on 01392 411171 - they look like a legit car hire company based in Exeter.

If they should knock on your door. Do not let them in.

If you go here https://hce.keyivr.com/Default.aspx and put the unique payment ID in (located at the bottom of the letter) it shows as being a recognised payment number. Current amount owed shows as £4314.18

 

I would definitely ring the number on their website in the morning http://www.hcegroup.co.uk/

Which doesn't mean that it's anything to do with a court at all. It appears to be a private company.

I suppose the main question is does the OP recognise the claim??

 

To get to that level, you usually have a ton of debt collection agency letters, followed by official court papers, then usually a CCJ or something, then High Court.

 

You don't just get a letter turn up completely out of the blue, saying you owe a ton of money through a high court writ.

This is a genuine claim,its been transferred to the high court. It is what is known as a write of Fifa.

 

These are not normal bailiffs! and i would suggest you deal with this ASAP

it's a cheap godaddy SSL certificate, not a snotty Thawte SSL cert.

 

I wouldn't pay a penny to these cheapskates until I'd investigated further.

 

This smells rotten. . .

I won't. I can see people coming on my CCTV anyway.

No, it aint me. All the mail I get through the door that isn't rubbish gets put back in the postbox with 'Not known at this address' on it.

I agree.

 

I've looked online and someone said that this is the same address as Excel. The parking people I suspect. I don't particularly want to ring anyone, because if they are like Excel, once they've got in touch with someone, they continue to pester.

Notice any similarities with the websites?

 

Exactly.

 

So what would you do?
