  • Hello all,

    Way back in June 2010, I regrettably parted with £199.99 to CCSL.

    I wont bore everyone with the details as im sure if you are on this particular forum, you all too have been conned and fobbed off by CCSL.

    After numerous calls/letters i was left with no choice other than to go the county court.

    CCSL failed to file a defence and therefore as of last week, the courts have issued a CCJ against them and ordered them to pay immediately.

    I still have not recieved any money!!??

    Has anyone else got to this point with CCSL and if so what did you do next ?!!:(

    Many thanks
  • like the majority of you, i fell for this and now apart from being alot poorer feel extremely stupid. i have fought with ccs many times and receive different instructions and stories each time i ring. i have just contacted my card company and welsh trading standards so am living in hope that i may get somewhere. will let you all know
  • Unfortunately it appears i've been taken in by this scam also! Wish i'd looked at these forum pages first before parting with my well earnt cash! I am now in discussions with my bank to see if I can recover any of the the money 'taken' by CCS.

    Tried to contact CCS today but none of the numbers listed appear to be in use. Their website is also 'down to maintenance'

    The Ministry Of Justice Site today is showing CCS with a status of 'authorisation suspended' - so looks like they've been caught out and hopefully this con will finally come to an end.
  • How do these people get the contact details of its 'customers'? It seems, judging by the above, that they have been very effective in targeting their victims.
  • I can confirm that MOJ are going to close down this company as soon as. If you have paid by credit card or if you have a debit card contact your bank, or get in touch with your credit card company quoting the Consumer Credit Act 1974, Section 75. get in touch via recorded mail.

    CCS Limited are a predatory company looking for people to part with their cash, and if there is no money to made with your ppi's then they have no intention, or intend on making it near impossible to obtain your cash back.

    How these receptionists and callers can work there and do this is beyond me, their families must be very proud of them.

  • Hi marcuszs, I experienced the same event as you. The number that I always ring was either busy or no ringing. I found another number from the c-c-s 0844 571 9571 I was speaking to either Gareth Jacob or the manager Harry Watkins. They told me they will refund my money now. See if u can talk to them. Garth was very helpful. Only speak to these two. P.s I will inform u once I get anymore.information. Lucy
  • What would be an appropriate tact with the bank to get this process started? I too am a fool. My c-c-s process started 7 months ago. I have started with the following, any advice is appreciated.

    To whom it may concern,
    I have recently paid for a service with the company Consumer Credit Services Ltd at a fee of £199.99. It has materialised that they are a maligned business and that their Ministry of Justice authorisation has been suspended. Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, Section 75, I politely request that this fee be compensated back to me through the guarantees of my credit card.
    Thanks.
  • Is there any way to recover the money from these people through legal means?

    If so, how?
  • Update: Was able to do a Chargeback through my bank as I had paid them with my Visa Debit card! Yay!!!
    Did it through the phone and it took 10 minutes

    Learned my lesson!
