Reply to: Letter from Felicitas

Inciting stalking

Just to let anyone else know - I take a very dim view of this.

Anyone else inciting this kind of stalking will get banned. and if I hear that PMs have indeed been acted upon, my punishment of all parties will be swift and permanent.

I do hope I've made myself clear on this point.

And surely by providing such information on demand, you are admitting full liability.

I suspect you could still argue that providing the information isn't the same as admitting any liability but it would make things more awkward.

Felicitas Demanding Proof of Your ID and Address – Do you need to respond? - ETC Tax

Good on you for initially sharing the information! Didn't see your post yesterday.

[eek]

Apologies eek - that is exactly what I meant!!

No need to apologise - I just think it is wise to be clear here on what people need to do.

Which is actually nothing - as (and let's repeat this)

We have been in direct contact with the IoM FSA. We have confirmation that you are under no obligation to comply with this request.
Only Felicitas has legal obligations here.

It is Felicitas issue to do the work they need to do, I wouldn't be rushing to help them out especially as they are implying you have to and there is zero obligation or requirement for you to do so.

Nope you want to make sure Felicitas has a legitimate connection to a debt and then that that debt actually is connected to you. There are probably whole piles of legal paperwork that need to be correct and probably aren't. That letter does neither of those things and I suspect they could be stumped without the CDD details.

Now you do need legal advice and the only suitable people are probably WTT or ETC - so I would find out which one can help you here as it's likely to get blooming complex as this is an issue with IoM law not English or Scottish law.

Adrian Sacco has also incorporated a Felicitas Solution UK entity last week (FELICITAS SOLUTIONS LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House)), the registered company address of which is a virtual office so still no real presence in the UK.

I'm not sure what he is up to but the incorporation does coincide (maybe coincidentally) with these last round of letters demanding ID confirmation.

Thanks

And to emphasis the important bit (which isn't any surprise)

I m just going to wait for the court to contact me. Will have a chat with the judge

That might not be so easy in the IoM (I don't know but worth warning you).

If you don't consider yourself to be a debtor of Felicitas, then you won't fall under their definition of a "Customer" of theirs. In such a case, why would/should you go to all that trouble, especially since it can cost £s to get things certified. But, always check what your professional advisor of choice says.

[eek]

I would want to firstly be satisfied that Felicitas as a legitimate connection to me.

Agreed. However, for those out of work with limited disposable income, engaging a professional body to confirm the veracity of Felicitas' demands could be easier said than done.

I contacted one specialist tax company and was given a four figure cost estimate for initial representation. Whether this fee is par for the course, I don't know, and will continue to make enquiries.

Either way, if an individual didn't have the funds to pay for representation, it simply adds to the worry and uncertainty.
