Bankruptcy Canada - Who Are These People Making Collection Calls Bankruptcy Canada
You might owe money to creditors and are receiving collection calls—at home, at work, and on your cell phone. It is quite common for a consumer with one debt to get collection calls from multiple sources over the space of a few days. The fact that you might be receiving collection calls from more than one organization in relation to a single debt can be confusing and add to your stress level. Who are these people who are calling you demanding payment of your account?

London registrars – where enthusiasm meets expertiselizseyi
London Registrars provides a range of business support services such as Company Formation, Company Secretary Services London, commercial and legal consultancy etc.
Aspiro SA provides claims handling services under a contract with an insurance company. The question to be resolved was whether the services it provided under that contract could properly be regarded as insurance transactions or insurance related services performed by insurance brokers and insurance agents.
If the answer was that they were to be so regarded then under the provisions of the VAT Directive, the services should benefit from VAT exemption. On the hand, if the services in question did not meet the definition, the services would be liable to VAT.
The CJEU considers that the claims handling services did not qualify for VAT exemption.

7. Case Studies
Acorn Solicitors – bogus firm in Rotherham
Nick Christofi and Sharon Griffin lost £735,000 when the vendor used
a cloned firm (May 2010)
Their solicitor was duped.
Acorn are a real firm in Taunton that never had a Rotherham office.
Made the Daily Mail on the 23rd August 2010.
Purchase conveyancing solicitors now closed.
8. Case Studies
Orient Solicitors
Totally fake firm in Leicester 2010
“Yet the website for Orient Solicitors is all too plausible, with an attractive
blonde solicitor in sharp relief, surrounded by eager, but slightly out-of-focus
male colleagues.
The words were the reassuring cliches of efficiency and probity you might
find on any corporate website - unsurprisingly, as much of it has been lifted
word for word from other solicitors' websites.”
Daily Mail, Sebastian O’Kelly 11th Oct 2010
9. Case Study
Lloyds Bank v Markandan and Uddin
• Solicitors for purchase sent £702,000 to a bogus firm.
• "The careful, conscientious and thorough solicitor, who
conducts the transaction by the book and acts honestly and
reasonably in relation to it in all respects but still does not
discover the fraud, may still be held to have been in breach of
trust for innocently parting with the loan money to a
fraudster. He is, however, likely to be treated mercifully by
the court on his section 61 application“ Lord Justice Rimmer
10. Case Study
Nationwide Building Society v Davisons
• Conveyancer for the purchaser sent money to a bogus
firm
• Find a Solicitor wrong

• Reasonably – as you would with your own money
….having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
• Burden of proof is on you
How do you prove you acted honestly and reasonably?
12. What does the CML Handbook say?
3.1.4
If you are not familiar with the seller's solicitors or
licensed conveyancers, you must verify that they appear
in a legal directory or they are currently on record with
the Solicitors Regulation Authority or Council for
Licensed Conveyancers as practising at the address
shown on their note paper. Check part 2 to see whether
we require you to notify us of the name and address of the
solicitors firm or licensed conveyancers firm acting for the
seller.
13. But the SRA says ……
SRA Warning Notice on Bogus Law Firms and Identity
Theft (26th March 2012)
12. ….. and therefore an entry on Find a
solicitor should not be taken as verification
that the firm is genuine.
