UK Corporate Portal Scam

As before, its a scam. They will probably keep writing to you and claiming its getting further down the legal path. Ignore them - no-one can get any money from you if you choose not to pay, except by taking you to court. For obvious reasons a trader running a scam isn't going to go anywhere near a court.


Worthwhile logging it with your local trading standards by contacting Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454040506 who will refer it on to TS. In practice, hard to stop but helps Trading Standards build up a case file about this

Forget it until you get something from an actual court.

"10. The customer declares that he agrees that the entire correspondence, even if conducted by third parties on his behalf, will be answered in English or German"

What kind of business person would agree to these terms? Or sign something without reading terms?

I am also a victim to this and have now after 3/4 years received a threatening email advising that I will be taken to the European high court if not paid in 5 days!!! (also from a guy in Prague). I have no idea what to do, my accountant advised me to sign and send this in the first place as I ran it past him as it looked official and he obviously agreed. Anybody got any further information on this?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you should rethink your relationship with your accountant. He gave you poor advice.

I would ignore the letter.

I've never heard of the European High Court. Neither has Google.

European courts tend with deal with bigger matters than a low-level contract disputes anyway.
