    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I have had a letter from @HL Legal and Collections' complete with an official looking form notifying me of a 'Change of solicitor' for their 'client' Intrum Justitia.The refused to give me bank details for a DD until the third fax when they relented.
    a)Their envelopes are clearly stamped 'HL Legal and Collections'
    b)Have followed their advice to contact their 'client'-who has no record of the account,Northampton County Court has no record of a 'change of solicitor', but has the CCJ under Geoffrey Parker Bourne (another 'solicitor').I contacted my 'local court'-who has no record of the CCJ.All these were suggested points of contact for information regarding the account
    c)They claim they are not debt collectors but 'solicitors'.They are registered with the Law Soceity as HL Legal-they therefore have to comply with professional standards.If you have complaints you can notify the Law Society which I have every intention of doing
    d)They claim a statement of account must come from Geoffrey Parker Bourne which doesn't actually makes no sense.


    This issue of debt collectors hiding as 'solicitors' makes me very angry. it's quite clear bullying tactics. It was only persistence that got the SO/DD details.They wanted a cheque originally-of course cheques can get lost/take time to clear so you haven't conformed with the payment dates so they can try and pull in the entire debt presumably
