Removal Notice from High Court Enforcement Officers

dadsma

We reported to Action Fraud. Our scam letter was addressed to the registered keeper who did not seek quotes from a food delivery vehicle insurance site.  We also had an email from the scammer but we cannot work out how they obtained the email address.

Following the thorough investigations we have carried out, we have taken the decision to involve a team of locksmiths to attend the Removal Action that will take place at your home address.

Kind regards,
HCEO Team

@FlyingTart

Please also show your letter to the above and to this company, found by @Castle

I believe that one of the names listed is a Director of:-
SHARPVIEW SERVICES LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK (company-information.service.gov.uk)

The named bailiffs are not involved in the scam and need to know, because their complaints and that of the HCEO Association will have more clout.

Hello,

I too have received one letter and one email from this company. (Which I have attached below)

I'll be honest I didn't worry when when I got the initial letter, however I did see it was more forceful than previous ones. I can see why this would frighten some people. It's very forceful but a little digging and it's apparent it's mickey mouse.

-The spelling errors
-The fact they have said they've already sent me a letter (when they absolutely haven't)
-I've not received any court order
-There is no limited company attached to this front
-The website was generated just this year
-Scam detectors online strongly advise this is a scam company
-I have no CCJ on my credit file
-I have even purchased the Trust Online file which also shows nothing
-I've called the courts to ask if they hold any information regarding anyone requesting to open a case against me and they could tell me historic incidents from my past, but nothing in the last ten years

I've called the number for HCEO (the number on the letter) multiple times today to ask for further information regarding this 'company' and no matter which option I select, nobody answers and it eventually cuts off.

I'm happy for Syd and Dave to pop by for a chin wag but somehow, I don't think they know anything about these appointments.

I hope this gives you some comfort.

Keep us posted.

Thanks

A relative of mine has been in touch with Sydney Thompson, who is one of the bailiffs named in the email. He has confirmed that his name has been used without consent and can only suggest that this matter be reported to the police.

Correction to above, we now realise that our details were submitted to a food delivery vehicle site.

Is everyone telling Action Fraud where the data is coming from?  Without a doubt.

This is everything received about the pcn

I received the exact same letter on Monday morning - same amounts, same mistakes ("we are now requires (sic) full payment" and the comma in the amount next to 'Balance Due'). I've reported it to Citizen's Advice and Action Fraud. There must be many vulnerable people who might be taken in by this scam.
This morning I also received an email purporting to be from HCEO, so whoever they are, they have my email address as well as my postal address and car registration number.

hello did the officers come to remove any assets? I received the same letter and sent them an email they replied that they cant send me proof by email and that it would take 3-5 working days to send the so called evidence of the car parked. I went to the police and told me to jot open the door if they come and call 999 if they do come

No one will call because this is a scam letter. Report to Action Fraud as per previous comments
