Getting owed money from company
Comments

I would agree that there may be deception involved. But to prove a criminal deception or fraud, you would have to demonstrate that a debt already proved in a civil court and legally transferred to OP cannot be set off against the debt incurred by OP.
Can you show that?
1. As mentioned in my post above the court have ordered it be repaid. There is a CCJ against the company in favour of my friend. So this makes it a legal debt.
2. One of the purposes of me being here is for advice on how that debt mey be legally transferred/assigned to a new owner.
In getting the services out of them for writing the debt off, I may be accused of being sneaky, but I don't wish it to be illegal . I certainly dont regard it as immoral since this company are trying to renege on what they owe and not discussing alternative arrangments/compromises if there is a current cash flow issue. The amount is about £1,250 which is enough for a pensioner but shouldn't be that much to most SMEs unless they have been screwing everybody!0
