Re: 1st Line Services

Oh Lugger you are hilarious, this is becoming a classic. I can just imagine them jumping up and down with anger now.

Re: 1st Line Services

Well if they are registered with the MOJ and there is a big question mark here, then definately they are in breach of conditions of holding a licence with the MOJ by contacting you when you are registered with the TPS. One big mistake IMHO on 1st Line Service and one that the MOJ will investigate and definately will have reprocusions.

Re: 1st Line Services

Re the Solicitors Authority part and cold calling - they seem to get around reg 7 by using third party call centres, the call centre pass you to a CMC, the CMC pass you to a solicitor. However there was a SRA and MOJ joint announcment about cold calling which I shall look up for you, as the 'sale' originates from a cold call.

Claims management companies’ increasing use of external call centres to farm claims will make it harder for solicitors to check the origin of a claim when undertaking due diligence.
Kevin Rousell, head of claims management regulation at the MoJ, urged solicitors to take care and undertake proper due diligence ‘so that they are sure where their claims are coming from’.
‘Some will be lax about this, but you need to look all the way down the chain to where the claim emanates from,’ he said.
An SRA spokeswoman said a solicitor is responsible for ensuring that they do not become involved in ‘dubious financial arrangements’ that might breach conduct rules. ‘We would expect the solicitor to show evidence of having made suitable enquiries about an introducer’s marketing methods,’ she said.

And the 'warning' http://www.claimsregulation.gov.uk/u...une%202009.pdf and the OFT press release The Office of Fair Trading: OFT warns consumers about scams


also on Julys newletter

Tele-marketing of services
The MCU continues to receive complaints about
telephone marketing of authorised businesses that
fails to comply with rules. Such reports include
misleading claims, suggesting endorsement by the
Ministry of Justice, cold-calling for claims that will be
referred to a solicitor, as well as failure to adhere to
other rules on direct marketing.
Businesses are urged to revisit guidance on
marketing available on the website and reminded
that marketing on their behalf is the responsibility of
individual businesses. The MCU is closely
monitoring reports of marketing which do not comply
with the rules and will be challenging those
businesses and taking enforcement action where
necessary

Re: 1st Line Services

Hi buggerlugs, it should be highland-guardian,

What a sigh of relief when I read your blog re FLS Ltd.. We had been trying to check this company through the FSA.gov.uk web site because we were given a company Reg, which proved to be false, to check. It was very frustrating to get any help on this site as to how we could prove them to be legit.

The caller also cold called my husband and said she could recover some money regarding over payment to our Building Society on our mortgage. I still was not sure if they were the same company as the one you stated but the claims number CRM14628 jumped out of the page and was exactly the same one that had been quoted to you. Now I hope I can convince my husband now.

Thank you for saving us from losing £99.

I think there should be an Authority that we could notify that these companies are working illegally to obtain money from unsuspecting people.

Thanks once again

Re: 1st Line Services

You need to complain in the first instance to the Ministry of Justice info@claimsregulation.gov.uk and explain to them the nature of the call. The more complaints the MOJ receive they may take some action.

What Tuttsi said.

Although I would hesitate to use the word "illegally", I can certainly understand the frustration and worry that these types of calls can cause. Especially since they seem keen to withhold their number for some strange reason.

Actually, anyone with genuine concerns about ANY company cold calling them should report those concerns to the OFT. Their consumer website, Consumer Direct, makes this very easy...

https://secure.consumerdirect.gov.uk/reportascam.aspx

My advice to anybody being cold called, especially where the number is withheld or is otherwise unknown, is NEVER EVER GIVE PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL DETAILS OVER THE PHONE. It MAY be a company who are running a legitimate, if morally suspect, business. Equally, it could be a Phishing exercise, and the first you know about it is, your bank account has been emptied and your credit card has been max'd out.

I'm sure we could help fill in the blanks. Hmmm. Now, if I OCR'd it and did just that, could they possibly have a case against me if I published it? The document IS in the public domain, after all.

Bored. In a boring hotel. In boring Norway.

So here's an exercise for you.

See if you can find out if 1st Line are registered as Data Controllers.

If they are, copy the post code into Google Maps

And have a look in Street Maps.
