Bailiffs Came To Door

[Placidbob]

So,

not sure if this is actually standard practice for paycheckcredit/MH but had bailiffs round to the door yesterday,

no ccj, so no access.

 

Again not sure if this is what this company normally does,

but as they're about to lose their trading license it might be that they're getting desperate.

 

Took out a £200 loan 3 months ago currently they're wanting in excess of 1 grand.

 

I never thought they'd actually send guys round (can't see much about bailiff threat becoming reality this quickly on this forum)

 

I have letters sent by recorded delivery informing them of my plans for DAS and prior to that arranging a payment plan/disputing charges, to which they "have no record of" FANtastic.

 

Just giving you guys the heads up

Theyre not bailiffs. They are doorstep collectors. If they are saying they are bailiffs, then you must report them to the authorites.

 

Ill get an admin to come advise, as this could lose them their license.

 

Even if you had a CCJ, the bailiffs cannot come unless a judge orders it ( and it is very rare that happens) and you would still be given the chance to explain yourself and why you havent paid.

Which company were these "visitors" from? did they show you ID or leave any paperwork?

[renegadeimp]

I bet its Marshall Hoares.

dx- Not going with DAS anymore, family is helping me out and after many hours on the phone (all recorded calls) have agreed to settlement figures, reduceing my debt by over £1000, just need to wait on the paperwork.

 

To all other site admin it was marshall whores indeed, I was actually working when they came, so it was dealt with by my parents, but yes they were claiming they were bailiffs. My parents are savvy in these matters but won't listen when i explain it's not legal for them to do this, but never the less chased them away.

Also could one of you moderaters delete my duplicate post of this thread, please:)

naughty MHB

 

get your parents to write to the OFT about what they were told

[Placidbob]

dx- I will do, just to clarify though, is MHB not just a department within the paycheckcredit rather than a legit external company?

[renegadeimp]

MHB is a DCA. They try to say they arent part of any other company, but we have evidence, which the OFT now has, that they are indeed very intricately linked with speedcredit, toothfairy etc.

[Placidbob]

Cheers renegadeimp, will let you guys know if any other "visits" occur, not stressing though:)

[renegadeimp]

Make sure you are reporting them. This type of thing is expressly forbidden and is enough for them to have their licence revoked.

[Placidbob]

At work tomorrow, will get all the details off my parents and then send the complaint off, as a furthernote though they hand delivered a letter to my step-father while visiting, this was addressed to myself, and was just one of the letters they would normally send by post which i'm sure you've all seen posted on here before

[renegadeimp]

Definitley a doorstep collector misrepresenting their position.
