  • Make sure you show Steve both sides of this letter and tell him we sent you, to update his file about this scam because the letters are now impersonating bailiffs.

    Give Steve a link to this thread too.

    He looks at MSE occasionally and I'm in fairly regular touch with the BPA.

    What's the email address they (the scammers) replied from?

    And where online have you or a family member input your car details this year? Think hard.  Does anyone use it for Uber Eats deliveries?
    the same email I emailed them to: contact@debtbailiffs.com

    i dont remember. I am going to check my email. my current insurance is Churchill. and i have been with them for 3 years or so. 
  • Thanks for your e-mail.
    I have stood down from my position of BPA Director of Operations and Business Development and I am working for the Association  as a part-time consultant until I retire on 31 August 2022.
    I am on leave and out of the country until Friday 19 August and will not be able to respond to your e-mail before then.
    If it is really urgent and can't wait until my return, please e-mail Sara Roberts - sara.r@britishparking.co.uk
    All the best

    Hmmm there must be an instance in 2022 of you inputting online your car reg and name/address and phone number.  Think hard.

    When would you or a family member have put in that data online somewhere recently?

    This is a scam based on fraudulently-obtained online data and we'd like to work out the common source.  Are there any Uber food delivery drivers in the family - that was suggested as a possible source earlier.

    Ah sorry i didn't know the code function is not good. Here is the email reply.

    Good afternoon,



    We do not have to give you evidence. We have a warrant of control issued by the County Court.

    Our job is to recover the amount of the debt in any way.

    But you can request details about your case by letter through the Royal Mail to our head office.

    Our Registered Head Office is:  5-7 New Road, Radcliffe, Manchester, M26 1LS.


    Is the address of a firm of Accountants called "Rowlinson Rainbow"  who I'd suspect have no idea that their offices are being used as part of this "scam".

    Given that this post only appeared today on their website, (12th August 2022), they may be interested in receiving a copy of your paperwork!

    I hope I made myself understood with what I brought to your attention.


    Kind regards

    These are the companies registered at this address

    https://www.companieshousedata.co.uk/a/121885

    So what are they calling themselves ??? or are they using the address as a fake. The Post Ofice will simply deliver

    Apart from Action Fraud the complete story should be sent to your MP for an urgent investigation

    The reply above is illiterate and indicates these people are not English

    "I hope I made myself understood with what I brought to your attention."

    This is straight out of a Morecambe and Wise sketch

    Suppose one of their clowns, if they have any, turned up at the house.

    You dial 999, the police and say you have a person threatening you at your door

    BBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”


    Please email your PCN story to watchdog@bbc.co.uk they want to hear about it.
