  • fake bailiff letter?

    The postman has just been and i have a letter from a bailiff company, though no first name for us appears nowhere on the letter and i have never heard of the company it says we owe, should i just throw it away? Or is it some kind of mistake?? :/

    Never throw anything away! Not stuff like this anyway.....

    Whats the name of the company?

    I wouldn't write it off just because they don't have your christian name or that you don't recognise the creditors name, debts can be sold to 3rd parties; which causes confusion.
    "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

        Ahhh this sounds like a consumer debt. Likely from a Payday loan?

        This BAILIFF letter, what exactly does it say?

        Its very common for debt collectors to say they will send bailiffs, but unless they are chasing criminal court fines, council tax or County Court Judgment debts, they have no right of access to your property.

        These are not real bailiffs essentially. They are doorstep collectors who you can refuse to deal with 100%.

          Dear sir/madamwe are writing to you as you continue to hold an outstanding account with lending stream. In order to avoid further action please make a payment using the attached form.

          Thats the letter minus pins/payment details?

            OK, so The Lending Stream are a PayDay loan company. Have you ever had any account with them?
            If not, has your ID security been compromised recently?

              Never had an account with them nor got a loan of any kind, i only turned 18 last year and have never had a bank account before that and never applied for any loan, i have had no unusual activity on my account either, this leads me to believe it cant be right? :/ i think im un the wrong section sorry! Ive never had a letter like that b

                No, you're in the right section! OK, so this is a complete mistake. I personally would telephone (record please) The Lending Stream direct to challenge this. If that fails, come straight back to us.

                      Sounds like a phishing expedition to me. If you ring them then record the call as these type of folks aren't exactly known for their honesty when it comes to recalling what was said.

                        I do believe that, owing to the fact that the alleged debtor is so young and that any alleged loan contract made before their 18th birthday would be voidable, one might usefully refer the jerks to Arkell v. Pressdram.

                          Re: fake bailiff letter?

                          There is a practice within the debt collection industry called scatter-gunning which involves sending out bulk mailings to people with the same or similar names. It is a practice of which the OFT takes a dim view, especially if such letters are received by those who are not debtors or could not, in any case, enter into a financial contract or agreement. It is possible this is what has happened in your case. If this is so, I would be inclined to report them to the OFT's Credit Fitness Team.
                          Life is a journey on which we all travel, sometimes together, but never alone.
