    We have reported it to Action fraud. He recently went online looking for insurance so we think that’s where they got his details

    Now i believe that return address on the envelope is also used by gladstones......
    It is also a franked mail service
    Anyone who has reported this to action fraud should this on as it shows the link to someone who the use of a franked RM account
    Not something that can be faked

    1. Please report to Action Fraud
    2. Ignore the demands made in the letter
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I reported to action fraud earlier after reading posts on here , I was just about to pay them as my son had recently had a few fines so it wasn't out of the ordinary , good thing I decided to do a quick Google first !!
