Hi All I have read with interest the comments posted on this forum. I have also been taken for £ 8800.00 by these people and i am in practice in the Legal Profession, so although no consolation, even the most switched on of us can be taken in by these smooth operators. My only saving grace is that i paid the whole amount via my Lloyds TSB Trustcard but i will probably still have a bit of trouble convincing them to repay my money but we shall see. Having read all of the posting i am amazed that no has mentioned or been advised to issue a Statutory Demand upon this firm. I won't go through the whole process here but suffice to say if anyone has a proven debt of £ 750.00 or more they can serve Statutory Demand upon the company and its Directors. This is effectively the first stage of bankruptcy and if the company do not reply or make an attempt to 'set aside' the Creditor can petition the Court for a Winding Up order. For starters any of you who have been through the Court process and have a County Court Judgement against this firm can enforce by issuing a Statutory Demand. In this instance there is virtually no way out for Debtor, they either pay up or be made Banrupt. Statutory Demands DO NOT require you to have been through the Court to serve one immediately but i doing this way the company do have the right to reply or defend the demand but they only have 18 days to do this after this time the Creditor can petition for the winding up. Sounds good, well there are few things that must be done to ensure that the Demand is served correctly in the first instance. You must serve the Statutory Demand upon an officer of the company directly, meaning it must be served upon at least one Director personally. This might sound onerus by it is quite easy if you know how. It can be served at the business premises or at the Directors home address which can be found at Companies House as these companies are Limited companies. So onto costs, Statutory Demands downloadable and can be filled and served by an individual upon the Debtor. They cost nothing complete and come with a full set of notes, the only cost is the cost of serving the Demand. It is best to have a Process Server serve the Demand as they are experienced in finding individuals and serving them papers. For those of you who have been through a divorce you may have served with papers in the same way. The cost of all this is approx £ 200.00. It is case of drop the bomb and wait to see what happens next my guess is one of you out there will get this wound up using this method. PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT ADVISING YOU BY BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AND YOU SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM A RELIABLE LEGAL ADVISOR BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY OF THE ABOVE.
