Hi,

Thanks for looking but this is not the right company. The one I'm looking for is not a 'Ltd' company and I think it most likely that it is, or was, a trading name used by the Lewis Group you have shown above.

It's not really that important now because the debt that this company were chasing has been sold on to a different DCA now but I was just curious as to who they were and if they were registered with Information Commissioners Office and for credit licence.

Thanks again for your input.

Regards, Pam

Default Re: Debt Collection Services - a debt collection agency

Oh damn. I don't know which I hate most - computers or dodgy debt collectors. I came across this thread by chance and was enjoying giving a step by step experience of the Yorkshire Mafia but it just disappeared. I cant go through all that again but readers, especially Pam of InKogneeToh and Allan Lyn should note the following (a) The telephone number of CL Finance Ltd of Birstall WF17 9TD is 01924 444466 (b) They work in a seemingly unholy alliance with a smooth sounding bunch of lawyers Howard Cohen & Co., 29 Park Square, Leeds LS1 2PQ Howard Cohen & Co. Solicitor in Leeds - Personal & Business who use P.O. Box 110 Cleckheaton BD19 4XT for communications [nothing as skungey as debt collection on their barmicidal web site] BUT use envelopes marked 'If undelivered return to P.O. Box 42, West Yorkshire BD19 3YZ. Maybe I've been watching too much Miss Marple, but the bar code on their letter begins LEW001!! There's more on my thread about CI Finance and GE Money - it should have been CL Finance but I implied I was useless with computers didn't I? Vandermerwe

I would like to know if they are still trading and if not when they ceased and also if anyone knows if they are/where registered for Data Protection/CCA purposes.

Any info greatly appreciated!

Hi Pam,

I have had two letters from this so called revenue collection services/associated members club. debt started at £347.44 and the second letter brought it up to £369.44. they say it is for an outstanding gym membership, i have only been a member of two gyms and have paid off in full each time. i called them up and they were very sheepish with details and once i told them i have passed their details and letters onto trading standards they quickly hung up on me. Doesnt sound like they are legal to me! I have passed on all dealings to trading standards now and they will be investigating the situation from now! the address i have for them is PO Box 315 Sunbury on thames TW16 7WJ Their phone number is 08707879545. hope that helps a bit. consumer direct is a good one to call about this as well their number is 08454040506 they will put you through to trading standards if you ask them to. i was also asked to call them and pay the debt immediately with a debit or credit card. or to post payment to be in the office within 48 hours. IS THAT LEGAL? Tought they had to give you more time than that? ps has anyone heard anything about associated members club? i have heard they are a scam that started in herefordshire.
