Help being accused of money laundering and fraud and theft ims

[baileysmammy]

Hi

 

I have received 2 phonecalls today one at my home and one on my mobile from a guy claiming to be from a company called IMS integrated money soloutions he asked if i had a case reference number and i said i didnt know what he was talking about he said i am being charged with theft and money laundering as i received money into my bank and when the company tried to take it back it failed.

 

I said i dont know what you mean, he knew the name of my bank and my email address he said IMS own loan and payday loan companies here in the uk. he read out the charges and an afa david to me saying i have been charged with theft money laundering and fraud. I was speechless i explained i had payday loans but i have a payment arrangment with them and have kept up my agreements. He said i have not paid anything. I asked him who the laon company was and when the loan was taken out he said he cant tell me but it will be in the paper work he is sending me tomorrow. he says he will send it to the credit beurea , my home and my employer, I said you cant send to my employer i will be sacked,

 

He asked if i was getting a solcitor, i said i cant afford one, i was in tears on the phone. He then said he has checked my record and i have never been charged with this kind of offence before and that i have not had any judgments made. again i asked who i actually owe money to and he said IMS.

 

He said the balance outstanding is £248 but when it goes to court it will be £1200. i have googled IMS and their telephone number 02088199746. bthe man spoke in poor english. i cant find anything on google. i checked all my payday loans and none of them were due on end of april. However he knew my bank name and my employers name.

 

I work in local government and if they send papers accusing me of money laundering i will be sacked,. I have seen another post on here which is the same as mine but i just need help. i even rang my mam asking for the money but she is saying its a con i just dont know what to do.

 

The payday loan companies i have agreements and repayment plans with are

 

WDA

QQ

Money shop

 

and as far as i can tell none of these are owned by IMS or have an outstanbding balance of £248 what he is requesting,

 

does anyone know who i can ring to find out more info

stop panicking i had this phone call about 3 weeks ago .the third time he rang my partner answered it and said we were informing the ploice .he hung up and hasnt rung since .They want you to panic and pay just forget it .If he rings again tell him you have informed the police and hang up .

It is a con - you need to get to the local police and get them involved, ask to speak to the money laundering unit, especially as the guy spoke poor English.

 

If you really were had up for fraud the police would be there first, not some pathetic Piers Morgan phoning from a company.

 

Taking out a loan and running into difficulties with repaymets IS NOT FRAUD - if it was the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT would be in prison ... look at what they have done to this countries 'balance of deficits'.

 

Get complaining to the police now and also to

 

http://www.ripooftipoff.co.uk which is a Trading Standards site dealing with companies of this nature.

 

GET COMPLAINING AND DO NOT PAY ONE SINGLE PENNY TO ANY THIRD PARTY COMPANY

so did you not recieve any court papers? i keep trying to call them back to get more info but it just keeps going to a mailbox

[sillygirl1]

If they send court papers there are ways of dealing with it, a defence can be filed denying all knowledge of their claims, besides again you would be visited by the Police BEFORE the court became involved as this would not be via a normal County Court summons (as far as I know).

[baileysmammy]

so do you think i should pop along to the loocalo police station with all the info?

[molly66]

no i didnt receive anything .did he ask any security questions before reading the charges ?.I could hardly understand him cause of his poor english but he only said my name nothing else for security.dont worry .

[ihateyes]

he is not a person of law, and therefore cannot charge you with an offence!!

 

calm dwn relax, this guy is having it on

Hi baileysmam, I had exactly the same thing, made me ill and I posted on here. I have informed action fraud of this. They told me they would report to police for me and gave me a crime number. I then had to ring my bank explain to them and have my card blocked and a new one sent out. Then I had to ring national insurance and tell them that someone had my NI number and personal details. This is to help us from identity theft and I suggest you do the same. If you need any help just PM me.

I was really worried at first and was shaking but now I am just angry. I have rang back several times screaming down the phone and annoying them.

If you look on whocallsme.com and type in the number 02088199746 it comes up with lots of people who have had the same.

Also, my papers never came, neither did the police it's people preying on the vulnerable people and it wants reporting by us all.

Need to find out who these people are working for?

 

are they another dept of a payday loan co, or are payday loan companies instructing them to act.

 

difficult to act against them if you have no idea who they are and who they should answer too.

[siennasmummy]

They aren't working for anyone it's a con and the police are aware of it.

[26072004]

but they are getting peoples details somehow, is it just a coincidence that the two posters on here both have outstanding payday loans??

[ihateyes]

question is, is where are they getting the details from..........

[siennasmummy]

I was told it is probably due to the fact, when we filled in the form, the companies pass your details around to other companies ( we all know this happens as we get hundreds of texts and marketing calls from different loan companies, brokers etc after making just one application online and that's annoying in itself )and somehow they have got into the wrong hands.
