last month i finished paying off safeloans, they took out an arrestment. damn thing cost me 368 when it was a 100loan. the loan was taken in 2010. the letter they sent me told me off this court case but i could stop this by getting in touch. several letter and phone calls, no joy as not one reply or answer to the phone calls. now the initial letter (and only) letter stated the case was against a Mr Kelly B******* which isnt me im Mr A B********. The case went to some 2bob debt collecting agency which sent me a letter about the arrestment, this letter had the wrong date of birth on it. Is there anything i can do or is it too late as ive paid them.

Odd how what few letters i recieved always gave me a final date which was 24hrs away from when i recieved it.

I think this is best asked in the sites legal forums. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?170-Legal-Issues

We really need the full story of this, and you need to inform the court on Monday morning that this is incorrect and you need it to be set aside at least.

I would also inform Croydon Trading Standards that this company went to court and are chasing the wrong person for payment of the 'arrestment'.

recently last month i had finished paying off an earnings arrestment to Safeloans. payment was 368 for a 100 loan taken out in 2010. now i recieved a letter from them telling me of there intentions, this letter stated that it was safeloans v Mr Kelly B... now im not that person im Mr A...B....

the response date on this letter for me to reply by was less than 24hrs from when i recieved the letter. i wrote several letters and tried phoning countless times with no luck. It seems they were not interested in opening line of communication. The matter went further and to a company called sterling park, i did recieve a letter but it was from edinburgh sheriff court, this letter had the wrong DOB and surname on it. Now i have been told that sterling park should have informed me of this matter, i recieved no communications from them. Without any further knowledge my earnings were being arrested. Is this right, can i do anything about this or is it too late as the payment has been made.

i have found safeloans and sterling park to be very unprofessional.

any help would be great, Thanks. Andrew.

the payment has been made, they have their money!

Make a post there. Much more informed people on legal matters would be able to help you there.

They may have obtained this money under false pretense and abuse of the county court system. Why are you posting here then if you are not going to do anything about it?

Was this debt yours and the amount you paid correct ?

The 2bob debt collectors you mention are Sheriff Officers and Messenger at Arms.
