So we are left with a new firm of debt collectors who appear to have bought the debts based on a set of lies from Felicitas because
is completely and utterly implausible. HMRC doesn't sell debt on, it passes it to collection firms for a percentage payment.
So I would be replying to them to provide evidence that any legal agreement with Felicitas exists and ask them to provide evidence to back up the claim because WB seem to have been conned by Felicitas.Leave a comment:

If yet another debt collector is involved, you might find that you have something called a Statutory Demand land on your doorstep.
Here is some info on it:

"the debt wasn't owed is from HMRC who instructed Felicitas and then Felicitas sold that debt to WB."

But also don't use things like claiming the debt is Statue Barred because that implies you think the debt existed at some point stick to simple things like please provide all evidence that the loan exists because I do not believe it does.Last edited by eek; 25 February 2023, 12:05.Leave a comment:

One other avenue to go down for help: if you have Legal Cover with your home insurance, you may ne able to use that. From what I can see Tax issues are covered. Whilst this is not explicitly a tax issue, it does kind of fall into that realm if you look on the HMRC websitrLeave a comment:

Prior to yesterday, I have totally ignored any correspondence from THL, Felicitas and W28. The more you look into the way these people have conducted their communication, it seems they have always been wanting you to acknowledge the debt. Even by enticing you to pay a small amount to write it off, you are essentially acknowledging there is a debt in the first place. Some of their communication for example was "please log into the portal and check the amount due etc".
I think the Statue Barred is an avenue that can potentially be pursued if you never ever responded to them or made a payment and it has been 6 years. There is a template you can download from the citizens advice bureau for this. But I want to run this by an expert first.

The problem is it's another level of nonsense the victims have to suffer another branching out of the original threats etc., Get help on this as soon as you can it's worth itLeave a comment:

I have requested all paperwork and contracts etc to be posted to me before I will speak with T&C any further.Leave a comment:

By the way, an SD is made to a court so there should be a trail of this somewhere if one has been made against you.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by MrsPatricia View PostThanks for this information.
Am I completely screwed then as I’m assuming they think I’ve ignored a SD even though I haven’t received any paperwork from this new company? The last thing I’ve received was from Felicitas and that was a long time ago.Leave a comment:
