LTSB - Court claim/Harrasment

CKhalvashi

I mentioned in March, that I'm using my address as a c/o at the moment for a NFA. I've just had a gentleman on the door claiming to be from a company called BLS, asking if I'd like to pay IEO £3000, and refusing to leave until he'd got an answer, without confirming details.

I've explained to LTSB on the phone and in writing the current housing situation (as far as I'm allowed to divulge), to be told 'We believe you are xxxxx', and thus my mobile number seems to have been linked to this account in some way.

I'm in the process of selling, and don't need any more hassle than I've already got! I certainly don't need bailiffs turning up on the door (a quick Companies House/ER check would confirm that I am not the wanted individual, as there are 4 residents here, all with Georgian names). As some will be aware, I'm also a local Cllr, so don't need the dent to my reputation!

I've called the council, to verify who I am, and left a council card with them (plus a photocopy of mine and OH's passports), but the problem doesn't seem to be going away!

Any advice?

If you want to go that route then you would send a letter before claim to BLS and Lloyds outlining the dispute and giving them a set time to resolve it and apologise with compensation, otherwise you will issue a claim via the courts without further notice.

If your dispute is as clear as it seems to be they would be mad to ignore that.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I won't deny I'm accepting post for this individual, but having had copies of passports, and the individual isn't on the ER at my address, it seems they're crazy to keep calling, especially unannounced!

I am also (and look) a lot older than who they're looking for, and I can't be expected to know his whereabouts at any one time! I work full-time, and deal with housing matters on a constant basis, meaning that my house is empty for a lot of the time, too (it's only luck I'm home this afternoon)

Hi I can offer some insight.
Under the protection from harassment act 1997:
You can issue a written warning of Harrasment:
You must make clear what actions they are performing that are causing you harassment and a rough idea of why, you need the company directors name and name them personally along with the company.
Keep it very technical, state that this forms a written served notice of warning to desist harassment.
State that this is to start the procedure under the protection of harassment act 1997 that they should seek legal advice as to the implications of continuing this harassment once a warning notice has been served.
State that you hold all directors listed as personally responsible for actions of agents and principles.
Sign As : Squiggle not regular signature This date : then add:
serviced 1 working day following date of postmark.

Send Via recorded delivery.

Until you have done this there is very little you can do, but only a complete and utter fool ignores a served notice of harassment warning to desist.

Once you have sent this and keep a copy and the proof of postage, then you have a claim, it can not be done via E-mail or via a telephone, it must go by post.

Thanks Spacey!

I'm just worried about them finding my DD's alone (it's not often, but it does happen), and giving her the same threats as I've had.

I've passed the 2 letters on, and apparently they're from a third company called NCI (I was dealing with BLS on his behalf), and I've pinged a letter (stamp type, not email) to both NCI and LTSB, telling them perfectly bluntly that they're not welcome, and that should they wish to deal with the contact through court, they will have to mutually arrange another address.

Whether it works or not, I don't know.

Why not tell the person whos post it is to give them their address, if they get a high court writ then you will have no choice

It's not possible to do this, as already mentioned here.

They have not, and will not be allowed entry, and whilst the individual is popping round every few days (having sent SMS first), I don't know (nor does he) where he will be that night, until we have sorted the housing issues.
