legal services commission

has anyone ever dealt with them? been trying to contact them on and off for ages.just get automated voice then put on hold.
i got in some mither a few years ago,and because i work,i may have to make a contribution to legal costs.my solicitor sent my documents to them and we never heard anything back.
next thing im getting bailiff type letters and phone calls off some company claiming to work for them.
my solicitor had never heard of them either.so we resent my documents to legal services again,but still never heard anything back.
meanwhile i continued getting constantly mithered with letters,an am.phone call,and a pm. phone call every single day off this company.

im not sure if its a scam as they have legal services logo at the bottom of the letters,but at first they wanted £8k over 6 months before i'd even been to court,and said i'd get it back if found not guilty.this figure then changed on various letters aswell.
on my solicitors advice,i ignored the clowns,but now the figure has halved but theyre gonna get a court enforcement order!
think this means bailiffs knocking on my door which i can obviously do without.

Anyone had any similar carry on,that could offer some advice? much appreciated

Is this in the football forum because you're Malcolm Glazer?

if bailiffs come knocking, ask them too leave your property as they are trespassing. no policeman no entry and your property is from garden gate....

if they wish to argue you phone the police.

you have a solicitor, so let the company go through him, do not have anymore to do with them.

maybe it is because he is a BLUE in difficulties and he was hoping other BLUES might be able to help him (rather than making snide comments) - just a thought like<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 19, 2012 7:12 pm --<br /><br />

Ministry of Justice also have a helpline and they should be able to advise if it is a scam or not.

Sounds odd, I certainly be suspicious. If you've not heard from legal services comission asking for money I'd this "recovery service" to "fuck off and return this alleged debt to their client as you deny/have none knowledge of it."

Fuck all they can do i would have thought without taking you to court for the money all they can do is send threat-a-grams I'd also tell them in writing that you only want communication via post to stop the cunts mithering you.

cheers all of you for the numbers/advice etc..useful info,the bailiff issue just does my head in a bit coz i've got 3 kids,and dont want hassle at my door.
i was a bit unsure of mithering my solicitor again,as the court case and everything was dealt with 8 months ago,so havent spoke to them since.i did ring him today,and he said to write to the company and tell them to basically do one! only thing with that is theyve then had contact with me,know my address,phone number,and might up their anti! if they cant do nowt,i might carry on ignoring them.solicitor said that was another option,and basically,if they want to take you to court,let them try!
