The Thomas Higgins Partnership Scam?

kirtz

Hi I recieved a letter from The Thomas Higgins Partnership demanding pay from my Company for £854.35.
The claimant is Money Inc Ltd. I don't owe anyone money at present so I'm sure its a scam.
There are no details about what its for I don't want ring or send a letter in case it plays into their hands.
Has anyone else received this letter or have any knowledge about it.
Many thanks

Interesting thread, but no conclusion.

Thomas Higgins partnership itself is not a scam. It's just a solicitors that mass produce Letters Before Action and court claims on an industrial scale. I have used them myself and it is a cheap and effective way to pursue a debt and get it paid. They are not debt collectors, they just send the letters and do court claims and employ bailiffs or HCEOs (though I have not ever had one reach that far.)

So the question is, who are Money Inc, Ltd. As these will be the people driving the process. Thomas Higgins don't, I seem to remember, ask for any evidence at all, they simply correspond as they are instructed to correspond.

For what it is worth, there seem to be over a hundred companies at the 'Construction House' address where Money Inc, Ltd appear on a Google search. Could be anyone…

That usually means its the address of a firm of accountants or solicitors, whose clients are using the addresses as a registered office.

You could just ignore it, or you could send a version of the prove it letter (you would need to amend to take in to account that you are a company not an individual) - Letter when you know nothing about about the debt - AKA "Prove it" letter
