BarginBetty79 said:I’ve just revived a very odd email which to me doesn’t look right but when it comes to my debts I panic. I do have outstanding debt but this is being dealt with. Has anyone else received the below:
This is Calvin from the Credit Investigation Department. Hope you are doing well. I just would like to tell you that we have got a legal complaint against you from "CapitalOne Credit Card Ltd, 118 Money Payday Ltd, Dot Dot Payday Ltd, Vanquis Credit card Ltd, Safety Net Payday Limited, Lowell Financial Group Ltd, Moorcroft Financial Group Ltd " where you are not making the contractual payments and all of them are defaulted accounts as well.
So this is why these people have approached us in order to get "CCJ" action against you so that they can have the attachment of earnings of amount £689.78 every month for these accounts with your income from this month itself, so that they can cover all the money, from your side ASAP because as per the creditors they gave you enough chance to get the arrangements done But you refused to get that help and now they are looking to have legal action against you.
Contact me for further questions or if you want to sort out all of your debts and don’t want to blacklist yourself or any attachments of Earning.
Thank you.
Regards (Removed by Forum Team),
Senior Financial Advisor.
I should add the email address it was sent from is (Removed by Forum Team) and I’m not able to find anything on Google at all.Thank you.
I had the same email today was so upset . Just recovering from cancer and it made me upset. Now I’m angry . So glad you put this on and guess what? We both owe the same amount apparently £689.78. Don’t know how they have a heart to send these awful emails.2 -
One thing I always ask myself is "Who is this email addressed to". If someone is emailing you legitimately they will normally know and use your correct name, if it's spam they will only know your email address.
In this case the email doesn't seem to be addressed to anybody1 -
Has Calvin been on half-term recently?1
