LCS Debt Recovery at it again!

LCS Debt Recovery have been at it again!

Total scam artists:

Sent a letter to a distraught family member claiming they were in default of an SSE bill

The letter is NOT company headed letter from LCS

The letter appears to be and is pertaining to be from SSE

They state, as SSE, that they have had to hand it over to LCS for recovery

The only contact details, even on the SSE green blocks as the fake letter head, are for LCS - this is so you think you are contacting SSE but you WILL get thru to LCS

The supposed SSE account number is made up AND one digit short

These are just some of the fake parts that are too numerous to mention

Anyone who knows me will know I love to fight !!!!!! like these and have done on behalf of this family member - I know ways and means, what to look out for to expose them, what is required by law for legit agencies to chase any outstanding legit arrears but all this was surpassed by my brilliant wife who had the excellent idea how to prove that this was a scam and that, as we already knew, no outstanding charge was in arrears!

What Caroline had suggested was brilliant and inarguable proof of no debt outstanding!

Please do this too if you have ANY debt recovery agencies contact you this will put your mind at rest:

1 Call the Telephone Payment Line Number of the relevant supply company (or other)

2 Enter the effected Account Number via your telephone keypad

3 Listen to the automated response which will tell you EXACTLY what is owing on THAT account - this would be still active even if you have left the dwelling as is the case for my family member AND you would usually be asked how much you would like to pay

"THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING ON YOUR ACCOUNT IS ZERO"

Is what we had and you should hear the same too - unless there are uncleared items you know about

Why is this such a good thing?

BECAUSE YOU CAN RECORD THIS ANSWER AND USE IT AS EVIDENCE OF ANY PENDING COURT SUMMONS SUPPOSEDLY COMING YOUR WAY FROM LCS Debt Recovery (or other)

But more than this until they back off for not getting you to bite and not fooling for the scam YOU CAN SLEEP IN COMPLETE SATISFACTION THAT IT IS INDEED A SCAM AND YOU IN FACT OWE NOTHING!

You're most welcome

Easily explained by a systems error. If you think that'll be enough to win in court you're sorely mistaken.
