Old Umbrella Company (Tailored) in Liquidation

[Healthcare]

Find a solicitor, take the contract and those emails and get them to write a letter of dispute asking for all evidence including all GDPR information relating to you...

Also edit your post as I believe you are very identifible from that and I can read it 2 ways (one of which isn't at all good for you).

Can I be very clear here don't post anything that might make you identifible online and amounts of money (even small amounts) may tell readers who you are...

Thanks for the tip.

What if you cannot afford to pay the “debt”?

please edit that quote...

I removed the quote from my reply. I hope that's what you were suggesting, if not do let me know.

Thanks that's what I wanted - badly written comments can cause bigger issues.

No house / car / assets to sell remortgage like the other loan scheme guys?

something completely unhelpful

Quite possibly not based on the people I believe this scheme was targeted at.

We (WTT) have had a number of enquiries from the recipients of the letters claiming money is owed.

The advice above is all valid.

There are a large number of unanswered questions here some of which will be very relevant to determining whether there is in fact any liability at all.

We would observe however that the letter seems to claim that there is evidence of debt but crucially it does not provide that evidence. Our internal legal team is clear that no evidence equals no liability.

We are therefore in the process of collecting information and individuals in order to properly analyse the situation.

We anticipate having enough information to put a strategy together before the claimed deadline.

And yes, we anticipate charging a fee to those seeking advice here. In line with our other campaigns in this space, it will be modest. Given the target audience that this scheme seems to have, we will almost certainly offer instalments as well.

As always a call and discussion with us is free and comes with no obligation. Ask for Tom Wallace who is heading this.

I'm sure that any competent solicitor or insolvency specialist is also able to help. Just be aware that many will need some coaching and educating as to what the scheme is and how it works. I would hope that many would not charge for the time spent in getting to the start line, but I cannot control their pricing policy.

I'm also sure that other advisers with experience in this space will be able to help even if their primary expertise is tax. Most of us have built up connections and adviser groups of our own who can be called upon.

I would say to all out there DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY unless and until there is a proven liability.

Looking at what we have, that may be some time off.

A sales pitch

Equally I don't think in this case tax advisers are required - there are times when they are but this isn't one of those times.

This is an English liquidator of an English company asking for money back from loans that do not have / valid paperwork so it's not a tax issue its a legal issue

Now webberg and co may have made contacts over the years which may allow him to deal with these sort of cases well but this issue isn't tax related and a decent local lawyer may be a better and cheaper alternative. Especially as individual letters require individual responses which often takes extra time and adds costs.

And the last thing a liquidator wants is extra costs unless they have someone willing to pay their bills.

one thing I will say for webberg however is that they won't write letters that "accidentally" make the claims valid..

"A sales pitch"?

We are a tax firm. We also have a Legal firm and qualified STEP practitioners.

I'm trying to say that we are not entirely unequipped to consider some or all of the issues here and our credentials are all in the public domain.

Greg - this thread has nothing at all to do with the scheme you were involved in - that scheme is way more complex with a lot of additional factors / parties involved.

Ok it just seems to have all the similar signs of an amount of money loaned and then asked for back. Apologies - post removed.
