Write a letter to them demanding that no doorstep visitors are allowed, and send the one with no calls either, template link in post #4 above. Would like to help further so please post a new thread for it to see what can be done to help.

This sounds like debt collectors, moorcroft are not bailiffs as far as i can see, do not confuse debt collectors with bailiffs , they are very different.

Moorcroft are easily dealt with.

They have so many pre-devisions, pre school pre toilet and pre " we are getting very fed up now and going to scare you" devision!

Just some monkey using different headed paper.

add the following:
The Administration of Justice Act 1970.
Section 40 of the act provides that a person commits an offence if, with the object of coercing another person to pay money claimed from the other as a debt due under contract, he or she:
(a) harasses the other with demands for payment which by their frequency, or the manner or occasion of their making, or any accompanying threat or publicity are calculated to subject him or his family or household to alarm, distress or humiliation;
(b) falsely represents, in relation to the money claimed, that criminal proceedings lie for failure to pay it;
© falsely represent themselves to be authorised in some official capacity to claim or enforce payment;
(d) utters a document falsely represented by him to have some official character or purporting to have some official character which he knows it has not.
Paragraph (a) above does not apply to anything done by a person which is reasonable (and otherwise legal) for the purpose of :
(1) of securing the discharge of an obligation due, or believed by him to be due, to himself or to persons for whom he acts, or protecting himself or them from future loss; or
(2) of the enforcement of any liability by legal process.
It is also provided that a person may be guilty of an offence under paragraph (a) above if he concerts with others in the taking of such action as is described in that paragraph, notwithstanding that his own course of conduct does not by itself amount to harassment.

Section 4A public order act 1986- Intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress

A person is guilty if, with intent to cause a person harassment, alarm or distress, he

a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,

thereby causing that or another person harassment, alarm or distress.

Usual Moorcroft bull, then, this company is a disgrace, if anyone else knocks on your door (or window, pixielill) tell them to leave or you will call the police, don't waste your time having a conversation with him as you will only be told a pack of lies.

The best way of dealing with this shower is to just ignore them, they have tried to collect three debts from me and just melted away after I binned everything they sent me.

They have added some fanciful charges to get you "debt" from £750 to £1800, and they know full well a Court isn't going to uphold them- not, I think, that Moorcroft ever go to court anyway, their speciality is trying to use non-legal intimidation- like falsely representing themselves as bailiffs.

I thnk they will give up on you when the going gets sticky and look for someone easier to con. That is what they did with me- not once but three times. You really have nothing to lose.

They almost certainly won't have the paperwork to make it stick at court anyway, that isn't what they do, they are just bullies pure and simple.

I have had dealings with Moorcroft before.

They are trying to intimidate you so you agree to pay them.

Do not acknowledge you owe them anything and send them the various prove it/CCA request letters.

I wrote to them with a prove it letter and the calls/visits stopped.

I have dealt with Moorcroft before however when I asked them to prove it was my debt they passed it onto another DCA.

I was told my account was on hold until the matter was sorted and I never heard anything for 8 months until Fredrickson's were sending me letters!

Well took everyones advice and waited, Letter arrived this morning saying they were disapointed that despite their numerous attemps to contact me no agreement for payment has been reached,however as a last attemt we are willing to reduce the the debt to £756.29 if i can pay in the next 14 days. They are still saying their client is Barclaycard although my credit card was with EGG. they dont seem very well informed at all,Should i try to talk to Barclaycard about repaying the debt monthley not sure what to do now as everyone has said dont deal with Moorcroft. should i send the letter asking them for proof of the debt?
