Re: lowell

I did that, sent the letter recorded and got the response i stated above, about these 2 payments made on the account, which i know i did not make, as i wasn't even in the country at that time.

Re: lowell

Thanks for that border. I sent something similar and received a letter back stating that 2 payments have been made on the account both for £20 on 12th & 15th july 2010, I know i did not make these payments and they have already told me they were returned and were paid in error, i have asked for any proof and i am yet to receive any. What should i do, send a copy of that letter you attached?

Probably not necessary if you've already sent it recorded and got a response as you say below:

It is against the OFT Debt Collection Guidance to mislead the consumer with regards to debts being SBd:

Statute barred debt:

businesses should not use unfair methods (including misrepresenting the legal position) if seeking to recover statute barred debt

Re: lowell

They have been at this con game for years and no-one in authority bothers about them.

Which makes you wonder what Lowells have got on the politicians and civil servants.

Re: lowell

I respect your advice Bluebottle but have to say you are the most optimistic person on LB thinking that Lowells will be brought to task is about as likely as Cameron resigning until his 5 years are up.
There must be someone or many in authority who are protecting Lowell and all the other rogue DCAs together with the bailiffs operating under their own rules with blatant disregard for the law civil or criminal.
A change is long overdue this we all agree on but when is the big question and who is going to do it?

Law of consequences, Wales. What goes around, comes around. Putting it bluntly, you only get away with it for so long before it comes back and bites you on the bum hard.

Don't forget that a certain High Street bank is under investigation for loan fraud. And who is to say that Lowells haven't been used to enforce or collect any of those fraudulent loans? If they have, they will have to answer some very direct questions and have their accounts gone over with a fine toothcomb.

It is better than evens that some of those loans have indeed gone to Lowells.......

Re: lowell

Bluebottle I wish I could see the parasitic scum brought to justice for the behaviour of their greedy bloodsucking management and their pre pubescent threat monkeys. Unfortunately we live in the real world where the greedy bankers and their illegitimate and incestuous cousins in DCA land seem to be immune from prosecution. I have waited many years to see them punished but time and time again they lie their way out of it.

With an investigation into fraudulent transactions, like fraudulent loans, there will be a trail or trails of some description, whether they be electronic or tangible. Victims of these fraudulent loans will be interviewed and if they have received ANY debt collection letters from ANY DCA, including Lowells, those DCAs can expect to be subjected to a detailed investigation. What would be the icing on the cake and justice for Lowells' victims is if a POCA order was issued to recover monies obtained from victims from Lowells' assets and funds.

As you will know, ODC, fraud takes time to investigate. One I was involved with took two years to investigate, at the end of which we ended up with 100 defendants and traced £2 million that had gone missing from the public purse. Unfortunately, POCA wasn't around then, but there were other ways of recovering what had been defrauded. It may be some time coming, but I am of the opinion those who have cheated the public are going to see justice exacted on them, though, that justice may not necessarily involve them doing time in one of H.M. Holiday Camps.

Re: lowell

Hey BB - I've been good. I've resisted my line of flying pigs.

As you know I wish I could agree with you on this, but in my opinion, nothing will happen.

Incidentally, have you seen the interview between Jeremy Paxman and Russell Brand on You Tube - you'd like it!

I'll get this moved to the debt section where it should rightly be. :beagle:
