Whilst I cannot comment on anything Elysium did or didn't say, it certainly makes senses.
It's called "Security for Costs", and a defendant can apply to a court to request this only after a claimant has issued proceedings. The purpose of it is when there is genuine belief that...

I would imagine taking anyone to court these days isn't a quick thing, and besides, without the correct paperwork they're going to have a very hard time of doing anything....

I agree with all of that, i'm not saying I don't.
What I am saying, is people shouldn't start thinking that the actors in this are all stupid.........as they're not. Remember that quote from Layer Cake "Know and respect your enemy. It is only very, very stupid people who think the...

Neither Felicitas nor West 28th sold anybody anything, that was the promoters of yesterday and they're long gone.
Don't waste your time focusing on something you cannot change. I'd be focusing on the substance of any claim that West 28th may have today, not what someone might have sold...

Any money given to you was not, and has never been CCA regulated, and as a result would not appear on any credit reference file.
No paperwork exists or has ever existed to show that any funds were regulated loans....

No cons really, however I'm yet to know of anyone actually receiving the data they're asking for from any of the people/companies involved.

I'm not directly involved so I don't need to do any of this, but point taken, others please be wary.
I will stand by what I said though. I have never seen any documentation which included "Agreement Numbers".
I would bet that the first time anybody has ever seen...

Slight change of subject, but I've just been going over the letter someone received in April.
One thing that stuck out was the addition of an "Agreement Number". I've been looking at this for a very very long time, all the way back to prior to Felicitas, and I don't think I've...

Paperwork they say........
Well when are they going to share certified copies of all the entire chain of deeds.........they seem to very very reluctant to do that don't they.

Hang on......you sent a SAR to Trethowans and then Trethowans said "send it to W28 instead" ?

In my opinion (which arguably counts for little), at this stage I would be pushing this myself. As has been said many times now, formally request all paperwork from West 28 / Trethowans etc which they are relying upon to bring this claim, until they produce that, there isn't any way of them or anyone...Last edited by MrO666; 10 September 2026, 14:08.

When they're formally asked by solicitors and then also advised this is a £100m+ question, their focus will sharpen, trust me.

An Observation from me............
I've spoken to three more people who have received letters now, and one thing that I have noticed, is that the people who received 48 Hour Tracked letters are people who previously disputed the claim with West 28 / Trethowans back in April/May. Those...

Purely an advisory here, but people..........please be very careful about the terms you're throwing around on here regarding the word loans etc.
Please remember this is a public forum and it's known that West 28th and Trethowans will be reading it.
If you think you've said...

Interesting that the FCA are stating they're not interested in an FCA Registered company trying to enforce payment of a debt that is incorrectly being claimed as CCA Regulated....

Remember, West 28th and Trethowans are claiming that alleged loans ARE covered by CCA Regulations, so in this scenario, it could be argued that Ethica have the right to collect, as they can collect on regulated loans.
The issue here, is that everyone knows that these alleged payments were...Last edited by MrO666; 7 September 2026, 13:01.

Nothing to indicate any of that at this stage from what I've seen....

I know of multiple people who settled for 1p in the £ when this was all with Felicitas.
As you say though, this comes down to how greedy they are vs how strong they genuinely feel their case is. Clearly only a fool would pay full asking unless a court told them to, so unless they honestly...Last edited by MrO666; 7 September 2026, 09:41.

Good info shampoo
I agree entirely with what you're saying. People should not just assume litigation will never happen.
There are so many schemes and I would guess that some might be seen as potentially stronger litigation cases than others, so agree that it's worth being sure...Last edited by MrO666; 6 September 2026, 17:49.
