Legal notice of attachment of earnings

Hi, I have received the below email and think it is scam, can anyone help ?

Hi Lewis

This is Robyn Allen from CRL ( Credit Recovery Limited ). Hope you are doing well. I just would like to tell you that we have got a legal complaint against you from your creditors where you are not making the contractual payments or managing just minimum payments towards them.

Creditors have approached us in order to get the “CCJ” action against you so that they can have the attachment of earnings for the total of £399.99 every month from your income, so that they can recover all the money from your side asap because as per the creditors they gave you enough chance to get the arrangements done through the government help known as an “IVA” but you refused to get that help and now they are looking to have legal action against you.

If you do not want to have any sort of legal proceedings and you are struggling with your financial situation and want to get these debts sorted, you do have “three options” left for yourself from these creditors apart from the CCJ.

If you wish to sort-out these debts. we will transfer you to our help desk team to get your finances back on track.

Hope to get a reply soon from your side.

Kind Regards!
Robyn Allen
Enforcement Manager

    This one popped up on another thread here a few days ago, albeit maybe not including the AoE threat. Scammers who don't even know the legal process, just scrambled some word soup in the hope of confusing you.

    A company of a similar name was struck off in 2011.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • It's nothing but a scam.  As if the appalling grammar wasn't enough of a clue in the first place, the Gmail address is a dead giveaway - no legitimate company would use Gmail (or Outlook or Yahoo or any of the free providers that you or I would use).
    Block the sender's address, bin the email and forget about it.

    Nobody in actual debt recovery writes am email as chummy as that - they are very factual
    It immediately reveals itself as a scam though because it DOESN'T SAY who you apparently owe this money to

    Apart from the above ... another obvious clue would be whether or not you were in fact paying off creditors under an arrangement. :)
