More help…

Sent to me by another victim – here is her advice:

—————————————————————

Here is my advice for coping with the awful situation of being well and truly conned.

1. If the company is still trading, take them to County Court – fairly easy and much cheaper to do your self. Then you become a formal creditor. When you receive the County Court judgement, use a third party debt order, to get the money. (Companies bank details needed.)

2.Report the case to YOUR local trading standards office. Do not report it to Ealing TSO unless you live in that borough.

3. Report your case to YOUR local MP. He will liase with Virendra Sharma. Virendra Sharma M.P. for Southall does not have any obligations to you unless you live in his constituency.

4. Report any irregularities in Trading documentation to Companies House e.g. wrong company registration number, no company identification to Technical Offences

Team, Company House, Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ.

5. Lodge a complaint with Companies Investigation branch enquiry@cib.gsi.gov.uk Tel 0207 5966 100. They are a government office, who have the legal muscle to act against rogue companies in the public interest, so the more people who let them know the scale of this problem the better.

6. Notify any other agency that may be appropriate in your particular case e.g police DVLA VAT – Customs and Excise etc.

People will be conned in the future bacause not enough people did anything about it in the past!
