anyone heard of incasso debt recovery solicitors?

[gymfreak1978]

Recived a letter from these mugs this morning, very poor grammer I may add, half opened envelope where anyone could have read the letter inside. Asking me to contact a DCA with full payment within 10 days whom I have an outstanding debt with, otherwise they have been instructed to carry out legal action.

 

 

 

I guess this says it all taken from there site:

 

 

Lettering ServiceAn excellent recovery tool, which often proves effective and cost efficient, is that of the Letter Before Action (sometimes called a Letter Of Demand).

 

Once a client has exhausted its own internal system of "dunning" letters, a Letter Before Action from Incasso LLP can prove a cost-effective alternative to immediate litigation. The receipt of such a letter, from solicitors, immediately informs the debtor that there has been a dramatic escalation in the recovery process.

 

This also has the additional advantage of initiating a 'query management' process, which is another specialist area in which Incasso excels.

 

Charges vary dependent on volume and instruction type. Please feel free to contact us regarding anything from the 'one-off' letter to high volume mailings.

 

Incasso LLP accepts instructions through e-mail, fax or hard copy format. Electronic instruction is Incasso's preferred method of instruction. Data can be received in ASCII, Excel or CSV format.

 

Please contact us today to discuss your requirements.

Sounds like classic "solicitor For Rent".

I had a similar letter from HL Legal.

I passed all the details to the Law Society for action

cheers ben, im sure your right I have had letters before regarding the same debt from other solicitors none seem to keen going to the magistrate, I wonder why.

As Ben says it sounds like the usual solicitor for rent rubbish with a standard template churned out no matter what the circumstances surrounding the account. Report them to the Law Society. If you want to write back to them you could always give them the address of a free on-line spelling and grammar checker.

"dunning" letters ?? Who he?

[zazen.warrior]

Their website is fun... it says they can identify 'traditional debtor types such as ‘The Delayer’, ‘The Genuine’, ‘The Cash-Flow Problem’ and ‘The Knocker’

 

What is a 'Knocker'?

What is a 'Knocker'?

 

A "knocker" is somebody who borrows money without any intention whatsoever of paying it back and regularly does this...

 

Not the sort of person we encourage on this site I may add.

I have received a letter from them.

 

I cancelled my house contents insurance, with a group called Swinton, because I no longer live in the house and have moved, they say I owe them £45 pounds.

which has now escalated to£85 .

How do I handle this ?

[UnmoderatetheNet]

Thought I should marry these two posts together because they cover the same slimey group of solicitors for hire.

Incasso are based somewhere near or around leeds. They have been going for years. They always chase business debts and are very agressive. They must be branching out into consumer debts. Most Solicitors charge between £1.95 and £2.95 for Letters Before Action. Incasso charge a lot more something like £15.

I have also just received a very brief and aggressive letter, demanding i send a cheque immediately without even stating what the money is for. how did u get on with dealing with incasso? any tips would be much appreciated

[ScarletPimpernel]

I was interested in the page about Incasso's Compliance Officer, one Debbie Pox:

 

Debbie has worked for Incasso LLP for 17 years in Legal Recoveries, dealing with all aspects of debt collection including insolvency.

 

 

Debbie has recently taken on the new role of Compliance Officer, created to ensure that our internal procedures are in place and adhered to, audits are undertaken on the work the staff undertake and also that of our external suppliers, to ensure that that they too comply with the expectations set by Incasso LLP and our clients.

 

I wonder why Debbie's role doesn't include compliance with legal and regulatory obligations?*

 

 

 

 

*The question is rhetorical - we all know why they don't bother.
