Ingenious Legal in liquidation.

alw

So used these guys years ago and had one successful claim, was then hounded to claim back the tax and I advised them didn't want to do this, now seems they went ahead and claimed even though I didn't give authorization, got a note from hmrc to say the have sent cheque to IL, when contacted them to find out what was going on, turns out they have gone into liquidation?

Is that anyway to get the money back or am I just going to have to write it off?

Thanks

Depends what time scale we are looking at here, if the cheque hasn`t been cashed yet, it may be possible for HMRC to cancel it, but you will need to speak to them, I doubt they will move that quickly to be honest, but I'd speak to them anyway.

If the company concerned has gone bust, then unfortunatly you are just another unsecured creditor of theirs.

If it were a solicitors firm the money would have to have been put into a Client Money account and it's theirs/not part of the liquidation. 

Its possible this firm was also using client money accounts in which case the monies would also be held apart... rules when they have to be used and when they are discretionary never have seemed that clear to me.

Hi there.

I had a successful claim for PPI, a few years ago.  Recently a tax rebate was sent to them, and when I contacted, I was advised that they had gone into liquidation.  I received an email from a company called Capricorn legal, who said that they are acting on behalf of the liquidators 'Quantuma Advisory Ltd.  Today I received a phone call from Capricorn legal, and they have sent me an email asking me to send my bank details and a copy of ID (passport or driving licence). Given the current climate with scams etc, I am very nervous about sending such details to this company. Can anyone tell me if this is all legitimate please?

That is the company that is dealing with the liquidation and they would be expected to ID you.

Quantuma Advisory Ltd assigned Ingenious Legal's customer debts to Capricorn Legal. I suspect they are more interested in the commission fee rather than giving you any balance of the rebate.

Tread carefully. They are not a regulated entity. I would try and establish how much the reabate and commission is before handing over any ID.
