Just wondered if these ppl are hiding behind these sorts of exclusions.

Yes but only if the information is collected lawfully

a bit like the landlords name above a pub door then...

any chance of a photo being uploaded, I'm sure an outfit like this having kept themselves off the radar for so long won't mind a little exposure.

Photo's of the Directors of these various institutions would I think be helpful. It's always nice to put a face to any future correspondence

Some of the other firms using the address:


EUROTRUST SERVICES LIMITED - DCA
GE KEYNES HOLDINGS LIMITED - DCA
PHONES ON FINANCE LTD
QUICKCLICK LOANS LIMITED - includes 'debt collection' in its Information Commissioners Office listing, but not 'provision of financial services', oddly. According to its Companies House listing, the nature if its business is 'medical practice activities'.
TELOGRAM LIMITED - listed as dormant by Companies House
THE DEBT PEOPLE LTD - 'IVA specialists' - and consolidation loans.

IT would appear that Phones on Finance may have the same data reg no as this co.

Also found this from the Experian press office:

Experian Global Press Office

and here:

https://secured.experian-scorex.com/...l%20Hunter.pdf

They can't be doing that good a job there, as fraud is on the increase..

[JonCris]

Like I said earlier we only have their word for it that only fraudulent applications get rejected. Nothing but spin/garbage/lies to justify their existance

Of course claiming it's on the increase is of NO benefit to Experian...........or is it............many more clients perhaps

Well Well........I have been doing a little digging tonight.
I looked on the ICOs register and took the postcode for Telograms registration.

Using the SAME postcode I entered a further search.
Suprise Suprise....N Hunter came up along with loads of companies registered at the same address.
Too many to list but heres a couple;



Oh by the way....I couldnt happen to notice the last one is due to expire in a couple of days-hope they have not forgot to renew it.
I will certainly be watching to see.

Seems the postman must be working full time to deliver to this place !!!


By the way-notice the last entry is due to lapse on 20th Nov-I hope they did not forget-cause I wont.

This whole scenario has a very bad smell to it.

[MARTIN3030]

Oops sorry JC -I see you reported on this earlier.

I think we should ask Diskman Dave to take a look at this place next time hes around there.....I would like to see how many different offices there are.


Actually would be an idea to find out all we can-then get a Journo to blow the lid.

[The GodMother]

Martin something tells me no one on CAG will forget when there licence runs out.

[MARTIN3030]

Hmn.....I think a fairly good assumption GM
