Warning Blair Oliver and Scott

[trickytrish]

Well I sent these people a CCA request on thursday by recorded delivery!

and it looks like they've refused to sign for it and its getting returned to me!

here is my recorded delivery number if you wish to check it out on royal mails site dh603090514gb

They probably know now if they recieve a recorded delivery letter they know what it is and got wise to it so decided to not accept any!

I also sent a few others on the same day to different companies and some have been signed for and delivered and the others hav'nt yet but just telling me on royal mail site to come back later So It looks obvious to me that Blair Oliver and Scott have refused to accept it!

When I finally recieve it back I'll send it by normal post and see what happens, but I wont know one way or the other if They've recieved it or not!

anyone any suggestions?

Thanks all

Are you sure you sent it to the right address? Ring them up and confirm it
and if they then won't give you a reason for why they wouldn't accept it
your letter. Don't send it by ordinary mail, but complain to your local Trading Standards with the returned envelope.

[trickytrish]

thanks for your reply I hope I did send it to the right place, this is the address I sent it to

Blair Oliver and Scott Limited
8 North Bank Street
Edinburgh
EH1 2LP

There part of HBOS, I think I'll try one more attempt at sending it by recorded delivery and if it comes back again

I will report to trading standards

can anyone please confirm tho if I have the right address please?

thanks again

[trickytrish]

I've just loked in another thread and got this address for them so maybe I did send it to the wrong address dohhhhhhhh .lol:o

Blair Oliver and Scott
PO Box 66
Rosyth
KY11 2WG

so when I do get it back I'll send it to the above address

many thanks tho

The address you first used is the one registered at Companies House-so they
should have accepted it.
I have not seen the second address you have in Rosyth, but if you are going
to resend to anywhere other than the original address, then I think it better
that you send it to their registered address [and the one they used to notify
the Information Commissioners Office] is
The Mound,
Edinburgh,
EH! !YZ.

Though I would be inclined to send it back as it is and warn them that you
will not take a second return lightly.

Hello,

I regularly write to Blair Oliver and Scott to this address:


Blair Oliver and Scott
PO BOX 66
Rosyth
Fife
KY11 2WG

I send recorded delivery and they always seem to get there

[KHMcBey]

I sent a recorded delivery letter to the Rosyth address on Friday and it was signed for on Monday.

I am fairly sure that it is Blair, Oliver & Scott who are registered as non-trading at Companies House....

Reeeally? That's very interesting considering I had a standing order set up with them... Hmm... Wonder about the legalities of that? I know that Mercers, Barclaycard's in-house DCA are registered as non-trading

[jonni2bad]

Don't bother with recorded delivery either - waste of your money.

Go to any post office and get a free certicate of postage - courts accept this as evidence the letter was received within 2 working days.

[KHMcBey]

Thanks Jonni! Means I can keep my pound safe in my pocket! I hadn't thought about that, actually...

[trickytrish]

many thanks for all your replies, I still hav'nt got it back yet tho but when I do I'll send it to this address

I think the address held at Companies House, and the fact it says 'Non-Trading" is a reference to the fact they do not actually do business at that address, it is just where the Company was registered during it's formation i.e a plaque on the wall but not much else. That would explain why letters are returned.

You'll find "Non-Trading" attached to many Companies, particularly of this type, it seems to be common practice to separate the Admin from the actual business side of the company.

Not an expert but that's my theory. That's why you need to be very careful when you approach these Companies. All is not what it seems. Smoke and mirrors...... One branch closes, another mysteriously pops up, perhaps under a different name, but part of the same group........and it starts all over again.

I could be completely wrong, but.......

...continuing from the last post....


About Us - Guidance

Non-Trading doesn't seem to mean very much in legal terms.
Not sure if I completely understand all that, but hopefully someone can clarify it a bit.

[PriorityOne]

It is my understanding that if they are registered as non-trading, then they shouldn't be receiving money.... as this is trading. Therefore, if they are filing dormant company accounts, they are lying in order to avoid paying tax.
