Just a quick one Sosumi - do you know if the companies house address could be used for a company whos headed paper doesn't include their registered company number which I am sure it should do - Call serve buggered off in the end with no contact from me

[sosumi]

Call Serve and Credit Security are still puzzling me RV

Their registered address with Companies House is The Old Court House, same as Credit Security.

[RedVixen]

Without someone actually visiting to see if it is a proper business premises there isn't alot that can be done I suspect

[StoolPidgeonChaChaCha]

Credit Security Limited

 

Chasing debt that is not due, sending series of threatening letters with nothing to back it up.

 

I suppose anyone could set up a business like this and set out to frighten people into paying monies? Not very moral. Photo below for your reference.

[LondonGuy23]

Does anyone know the lastest with Credit Security Limited?

 

I just got a letter from them saying that they are willing to give me 70% off the money Lloyds claim that I owe them. This is their final offer before seeking recovery through the County Court.

This is my third letter from them. Their address says the old court house, bucks...

[Huff&Puff]

I had one of those too. Was yours on pink paper?

 

I know they don't have a hope in hell of supplying anything resembling a CCA in my case, so I'm just going to continue studiously ignoring them.

Hi,

 

Yes it was on pink paper.

 

Somebody in another thread told me that they will just send the rest of the balance to another DCA and claim the insurance, hence they will not be out of pocket.

My credit reference will also just show 'partially settled' which is not good.

I will however, ask them to say that it will be 'settled' and that they will not send the rest of the balalce to another DCA (I want it in writing) but alas, I already know the answer.

I will then ignore them and follow the steps on here (changing the words and filing a new claim).

I post back here after I speak to them. Let me know how you get on.

 

Cheers

[LondonGuy23]

Phoned them today. They said that it would be the end of it if I paid (with the 70% discount) but my credit record would show as 'partially settled'.

 

There is no point in me paying so I won't.

[Longwaydown]

I had a 60% offer from them a week or so back on pink paper, today received a letter saying that unless I make a payment and repayment proposal by Noon 7th Sept they will prepare a claim for issue in Aylesbury CC for the debt, interest and an application for costs.

 

Has anyone else had this and if so, did anything actually happen?

[Huff&Puff]

Standard empty threats. Just continue to ignore them. If they actually had the paperwork to issue a claim, they wouldn't be offering large discounts.

[Bigdebtor]

I have just checked Companies House. Their accounts are now up to date - but curiously they each say they have no "associated UK companies".

 

I have recently had letters from "Call Serve Limited" as well as Credit Security Limited. Surely a dormant company shouldn't be sending out debt collection letters - or do they just do it in their sleep?

I put up a post about this a while ago (in connection with Debt Clear Recoveries) but - briefly - dormant companies are in breach of the Companies Act if they handle any financial transactions over-and-above those need to administer the most basic aspects of a company. From the GBA10 document:

 

A company can be non-trading in the sense that it isn't doing business. But it may still have other accounting transactions going through its books, which means that it is not dormant in a legal sense. A dormant company must not have any accounting transactions except specific allowable transactions that it can disregard.

Anything apart from the following would almost certainly be defined as a "significant accounting transaction":

 

 

• payment for shares taken by subscribers to the memorandum of association
  
• fees paid to the Registrar of Companies for a change of company name, the re-registration of a company and filing annual returns
  
• payment of a civil penalty for late filing of accounts
  

HTH,

Credit Security, Call-Serve, etc, the property in the picture is, or was the Priory Hotel, the so called "Old Court House" (not even sure if there ever was a court house in Whitchurch) is a converted garage behind that building, the other shops mentioned are actually in a separate building adjacent and to the right of the Priory Hotel.

 

Letters are generaly poor & usually extreemly out of date, unlikely to get a reply.

 

0845 numbers are not free, never ring they will leave you hanging on.

 

I think they are chancers

 

I find an agressive but precise reply sends them away

[nometer]

I have had dealings with them in the past for some old lloyds accounts. The accounts had gone Through a few other dca before them, i told credit security the accounts were in dispute and have never heard a thing since.

I do wonder if accounts ever get chased after csl have had them or is the the end of the dca line. Has anyone else has anything happen after credit security have had a go at collecting?

[RedVixen]

Probably too soon to talk but they have been chasing a Lloyds account of mine - I ignored them on the grounds that very rarely does anyone other than **** take legal action over Lloyds accounts and the last letter they chaged the language to SUE instead of legal action and nothing for I think four weeks now after getting threats every other week since june - if it goes back to Lloyds I will be chasing them for everything I can think of as they didn't use the magic get out words of 'MIGHT' or 'MAY' which I think may be a breach of the malicious communications act if it goes back to Lloyds as they clearly had no intention of taking the threatened action

[nometer]

sounds like my situation is similar to yours, I had one account they handled about 6 months ago never heared a thing since, then another account a couple of months ago.

Has anyone had any dealings with these and they have either passed the account on or returned it back to lloyds?

I'm hoping that credit security are the end of a long line of dca's trying to get money from an un-enforeable agrement..

 

Anyone else willing to share thier credit security story

[pinkrat]

I have a halfway through story with Credit Security limited nometer

[RedVixen]

CSL have given up without acting on any of their threats that I ignored - the debt is now with Iqor

[Feelingdownandout]

hi there who is Iquor?

[RedVixen]

Iqor is just another gutter crawling DCA and will get the same treatment as all the rest that tried but went away

[Feelingdownandout]
