Capquest Group Ltd. is a
UK company that buys other peoples'
debts. This is their main business. They buy these debts for pennies in
the pound, and then try to claim the full amount. Unfortunately, it's
not illegal. They send out letters resembling telegrams, from a company they own called
Telogram Ltd. They don't identify them as being from a debt collector. |

Capquest is supposedly a British company, but is
jointly owned by two overseas companies, Blue Ocean Investments, registered
in Luxembourg and BRUinvest registered in the British Virgin Islands.
The ultimate controlling party is Blue Sky Trust, a Bahamian company.
Why is this? So they don't pay any tax, there is no other reason. Doubt if the Tax man will see much from these parasites. These types of company usually move 'loans'around their companies and never show a profit, and so pay no tax. This tells you about Capquest and the type of company it is. Reputable? What do you think? Time to close them down! The British 'director' (or puppet, as some might say) in charge is Michael Daniels, but the strings are pulled by two characters called Joseph Arthur Dlutowski and Mark Andrew Brunault who are American 'vulture capitalists'. Both with a history in the sub-prime loan market and the desire to make a quick buck. They're struggling, so challenge each and every demand they make. Make them work for their money. Never speak to them on the telephone, always write to them. Block their number. |

Michael Daniels, WITHOUT PREJUDICE Dear Sir/Madam Re: Account No/Reference No: No debt is acknowledged to you. You have contacted me regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself. I would point out that under the Limitation Act 1980 Section 5 an action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued.. The last payment or acknowledgement of this debt was made over six years ago and no further acknowledgement or payment has been made since that time. Unless you can provide evidence of payment or written contact from me in the relevant period under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, I suggest that you are no longer able to take any court action against me to recover the alleged amount claimed. I await your written confirmation that no further contact will be made concerning the above account and confirmation that this matter is now closed. If you do not supply such confirmation, I will be making a complaint to the statutory authorities. I look forward to your reply. Yours faithfully (Your signature) |

Then add your complaint to the growing number about this 'company'. Write
a letter to Trading Standards at the address below:
Regulatory Services, The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is also interested in hearing complaints about these people. You'll find a link to their website here or on the links page, where you can download a complaint form. Send it to: Omar Hanif, Getting letters supposedly from Keppe & Partners - Solicitors, but
