DRS Bailiffs SCAM: Baillif Debt collection letter

Well whoever caused the data leak caused actual loss, so they'd be liable.

Another thought as you say (darkvenom007) that your car was purchased fairly recently:

Did you all get your cars in the past year from the same online or national chain dealer? Could be their database that's weak.  They'd have all your data.

Please all report your cases to CIVEA and Action Fraud. And to your local Police, showing the email from Sara Roberts at thd BPA which confirms this is a scam that Action Fraud should be handling properly.

Also please give some thought to where you input your car details and home address and name/phone number online, in recent weeks.

Have you all used the same:

- car insurance websites?

- airport parking?

- new phone app to pay for parking?

I have reported to action fraud and couldn't figure out how to report to civea so filled in the online contact form they have with all the details. 

Has anyone recieved any replies from civea? 

My son had done insurance for uber eats deliveries and also parked at the airport a month or so ago

What about the extra question I just asked about whether you all got these cars from a particular online or chain dealer in the past year?

No, my son has had his car about a year and half and bought from a friend

OK and darkvenom007 says he hasn't used a new parking app so it's not that either. He also says:

I got private hire car insurance quote from Zego and some others recently. I’ve not parked in any airport since I’ve had this car. 

So we keep coming back to insurance quotes.  I think it's that data that's been used, either due to a weak database being hacked, or an inside job.  Possibly Zego but not established for certain.

My son has just confirmed it was zego he used for the insurance

I bought my car from a dealership around 2 years ago I also haven’t used zego for insurance ever.

But have you gone online for insurance quotes or has the person named on your letter done so?  Trade or food delivery insurance especially.

Just a thought...hate to ask this but what about Recovery Services?  AA, RAC, Green Flag or a small one?

I have been getting a few messages on what to do. This is getting ridiculous, people are getting scared of this. Good thing this was down. I was in touch with a hacker on the dark web. He took the website down as a trial yesterday but asked for £600 for his details. I could not pay. Glad the website is down. 

Got a Reply from Steve from the BPA. EVERYONE DO NOT PAY. 

Thanks for your note it's definitely a scam.

Follow the advice on the Forum, and you will be fine.

If you get any thing else through, please share with me.

Stay safe

Hi do you know if these are all a scam?? I received basically the exact same letter as you but for £605 the only thing that has me questioning is that I did have a unpaid parking fine from 2-3 months ago.

You did not get a fine, just a flimsy old invoice

3 months ago is not enough time to result in what these jokers are doing

Firstly, there is an appeal to the parking company, that normally fails, then there is a second appeal service, then if that fails, known idiot debt collectors will send you toliet paper and when they fail, one of the daft legals will send a letter of claim giving 30 days and then maybe issue a court claim and then it's allocated to your local court for a hearing maybe 2-3 months away.

As you have a ticket and as long it's from a private parking company, not council, we can help but not on this thread, you must start your own thread

You are being scammed. You must now do a checklist on whom you gave your details to over the last few months which means anything online. Sooner or later we will have a match

Okay thank you for your help and advice I also received this text message today from them.

Who have you given your number to in the last few months, online

The only place I can think of is a car finance company called Carloans Uk.

Was it this Carloans UK? https://carloansuk.co.uk/

How about the victims sending a SAR to Zego to see what data they hold on them ? At least it would confirm whether or not they are on Zego's database.
