Ministry of Justice warns Consumers about debt write-off ’scams’
Consumers have today been told that trying to get debts written off can be dangerous. The Ministry of Justice say hundreds, if not thousands, of claims management firms are charging ever-increasing up-front fees, and making misleading suggestions about the chances of success.
Steve Sharrock, who is an oil engineer from the North West of England, got a call from a company who told him there was a 99.9% chance that they could get his credit card debts written off entirely. Anyone could be forgiven for falling for this ‘con’ as it sounds like too good an opportunity to miss.
But after paying a fee upfront of £275, Mr Sharrock never heard from the company again. “It’s just a scam,” he told the BBC.
Consumer-Help.co.uk have found that Keith Park Solicitors based in Merseyside have achieved considerable success in this field and do not charge a fee.
