Things about to get very serious and much more real? / Felicitas Letters

[HarveyBains]

I am a new contributor to this forum just sharing and airing my concerns in full public view. It kind of helps me to de-stress.
This news article below sums up my current knowledge to date of this West28th situation:

Good article.
Let's hope West 28th do bring thier solicitors to the table - which will likely be a waste of time and erode more of thier funds.

Of course we all know its just a sham company created recently whose only business is to try another mail box drop scam. I'm sure it won't be the last either, until the vermin behind such companies are ten foot under.

Did no one pay attention to what the previous lot did - they will do everything they can to make your life a misery while spending as little as possible.

I've bitten the bullet and joined Elysium at a fixed all-inclusive fee of £950+vat.
I'm one of 50 other contractors (thus so far) in their group. I think they will defend robustly.
I can update the group if anyone else wants to know how Elysium proceeds against West 28th street.

To be fair I think their fixed price fee is very reasonable normally it would cost that much just to have an initial conversation with a legal tax expert.

Did you read Caroline's article properly? Or even between the lines? As long as you know what you have signed up to fund. EL want to get funding not to defend these claims but to launch an attack on this new bunch all of us involved would love to see that happen just as long as you realise what EL are doing.

I tried to object to Felicitas being struck off but was told that you can only do this if legal action is being taken by the company. Has anyone ever had legal action taken against them by Felicitas? Doubtful and perhaps their threats never were going to go any further because they knew down the line that it would stop them being stuck off? This new lot seem to be Felicitas v2, don't give them a penny!

I've posted this example reply I used to refute a Statutory Demand a couple of years ago, just in case the supposed 'new' lot at West 28th Street follow the same path as Felicitas (although I doubt they will). Perhaps some of those new to this thread may also want to draft a few bullet points of their own for future 'insurance purposes'. It cost me nothing except the recorded delivery postage. Here you go and hope it might help someone out there:

Dear Mr. xx
Your Ref: 12345
(Garraway/ Original Provider name) scheme ref: 12345

I am in receipt of your undated Statutory Demand made by your creditor Felicitas Solutions Limited in respect of alleged loan payments during the period (x date) and (y date).

Please treat this letter as a formal request to have this demand withdrawn and the court to set aside. This is based on information including, but not exclusive to the following points:

• I believe this alleged debt does not constitute either in form or intent, an employer or business loan but that this was a disguised remuneration scheme.
• Your letter is in breach of “pre-action protocol”, in that you have not adhered to the series of steps that must be taken to bring a claim or resolve a dispute in court.
• You have misused a Statutory demand as this is not a debt recovery procedure but a way to prove that an individual or a company cannot pay their liabilities as they fall due and are therefore cashflow insolvent.
• You have not applied due diligence in establishing the validity of the claim.
• You have failed to take into consideration the scheme’s arrangements with (X) who administered funds paid into (Garraway/ Original Provider name) as well as those paid out.

You claim to be acting on behalf of Felicitas Solutions Limited who in turn allege they are acting on behalf of the scheme trustees. However, I am in receipt of documentation issued by (x) on behalf of Garraway Consultants describing the ‘Garraway Consultants EMPLOYED Solution’ that states the following ‘The new solution does not rely on any trust and is not an Employee Benefit Trust solution.’

I have kept meticulous records of all physical and electronic communication received from the scheme promoters and their numerous agents including those who have made a series of ‘final settlement offers’ over the years including offers to settle by paying 5%, 6% and 10% of the total alleged claim. These include CHS Ltd, DOR Resolutions Limited, Trust Help Line, Dynamic Partners Consultants Limited, Gladstones, Felicitas Solutions Limited and now you on behalf of Statutory Law Limited.

I would expect any claim would be withdrawn immediately any parties carried out their due diligence and well before this demand was made so I believe this to be no more than vexatious litigation. In light of the information provided in this letter, please confirm in writing that any claim against me will be withdrawn. Should you decide to pursue this claim further, I give notice of my intention to vigorously defend my case. I will also make an application for costs in respect of my time and money plus the emotional distress caused to both myself and my family.

Furthermore I will also request you supply me with the following information for my records:

• You have listed moneys paid out between x date and y date. Please also provide the details of the corresponding payments made into (x) on my behalf over the same period.
• Please provide the name of the plaintiff against whom I will need to make my counter-claim including costs.

I look forward to receiving your reply by return. Yours etc etc

I received letter from West 28th Street at the start of this month. They say I need to respond by end of this November as to whether I want to dispute or accept their case before they move onto to next stage. So I'm feeling worried as to what I should do.
I'm thinking I'll ignore them as best I can until it gets serious and then I will join Elysium.
Can they send bailiffs to my house to do you think. My house is under mortgage so that's the property of mortgage company.

The likelihood of Bailiffs is slim to none. They dont want to pay money out.

[ian1066]

WTT state that you should dispute the claim. I would do that and then ignore everything until they go away which they inevitably will

Have you tried enailing them to dispute their fantasy ? I guarantee you wont get a reply.

You don’t need a reply. You want a paper trail for when this never hits a court
