Dear British Gas Shareholder,

Yesterday, July 24, I received yet another letter from Moorcroft Debt
Recovery Limited threatening me with legal action unless I pay them
£30.49 on behalf of their client.

In all honesty I have lost count of the number of threatening letters
I have received on behalf of British Gas from not one but two debt
collectors. I know from personal experience that a solicitor's letter
is likely to cost at least £40 at today's rates, and I doubt debt
collector's letters are any less.

This means that British Gas have wasted hundreds of pounds of your
money chasing this non-existent debt. There was an interval of about
six months at one point, probably they were hoping I had lost or
destroyed the correspondence; I am sorry to disappoint them but I have
retained all the relevant correspondence; indeed I have scanned it
with a view to putting it on-line.

I must admit, I have long since tired of this nonsense; even
threatening these morons with police action has not made them desist,
so any further letters from them will go straight into my waste paper
basket, unless of course they are so stupid as to actually issue a
writ, in which case they will lose in the County Court, face total
humiliation, and waste even more of your money.

I thought you might like to know that.

Below is my latest E-mail to them; it is the last I will bother to
send.

Please note this address is not valid for E-mail.

A Baron

I have, yesterday, received yet another letter from debt collectors
instructed by you. I have no idea how many hundreds of pounds you have
wasted chasing this phantom debt but I can assure you that if you are
ever stupid enough to actually sue me, your shareholders will find
out.

Below is the e-mail I sent your previous debt collector last year; any
further communications from them or from those other idiots at
Moorcroft will be ignored.

I refer to your letter of September 27 on behalf of British Gas. You
state that your clients are unaware of any legitimate reason for a
claimed non-payment of £30.49. I would refer you to my letter to Lois
Hedg-peth of their grandly titled Customer Services Department of
August 14, and to all the previous letters which they have ignored.
I am unaware of any legitimate reason I should pay any sort of late
payment charge for a delay which was entirely their fault. Likewise I
am unaware of any reason I should pay them £14 for receiving
unsolicited letters. If you can find a legitimate reason for either of
the above perhaps you would like to copy me the relevant statute or
case law.
As I told your client previously, as a journalist I am not amenable to
the sort of threats that scare little old ladies “The police may be
there when we call” etc, so you can take your client’s formal demand
for £30.49 and shove it up your jacksey.

If you intend to sue me go ahead and do so, and I’ll see you in court
where you will lose heavily. Any other correspondence I will regard as
unwarranted persecution and will refer it to the police as it may fall
within the remit of the 1997 Protection From Harassment Act.

Otherwise sod off and don’t bother me again.

Yours finally,

So.........there's no chance of getting that £4.50 you borrowed of me
two years ago then???

I've recently gone through something similar with my previous
insurance company (Budget Insurance).

My tactic was to only communicate with them in writing and to copy
every single letter to the Insurance Ombudsman.

Budget Insurance chose to ignore all my letters disputing the debt,
and pass the alleged debt to a debt collector (CARS Ltd).

Whilst the ombudsman didn't react immediately, as Budget's (lack of)
response became more and more unreasonable and the reasonableness of
my own behaviour more and more apparent - the ombudsman stepped in.

Suddenly someone very intelligent and positively fawning at Budget
wanted to talk to me, and couldn't be more eager to resolve matters.

Silly billies. Following their own code of conduct, or even their own
terms of contract would have cost them far less.

It does not work like this. Utilities like British Gas AFAIK pass
their debtors lists to debt collecting companies to see what they can
do with them and the debt collectors either taske a commission from
what is recovered or add their costs to what is owing. It would seem
they have a certain period with the list then the utility will give
the list to another firm etc.

The letters would not cost anything like 40 pounds to send out, as
they simply have a standard series of dunning letters which are
'personalised' with the debtor's name, address and amount. This is
why the letters do not refer to or answer the points made in any
letters you send, they just run a robot operation.

========================================

I was about to post something along these lines.

I'm wondering is this a deliberate, organised racket by service
providers and large retailers, to make money out of debt collection
agencies by selling them fake, non-existent debts?

Three of them have issued fake bills to me, then gone through the
usual seemingly endless series of letters, then a debt collection
agency takes over, finally the debt collection agency phones me and I
tell them it's a fake bill and they've been had, and if they take me
to court they will not only lose but get a counterclaim for
harrassment and fraud and have to pay me compensation and costs.

It is important to be sure of your ground, to know that the bill is a
fake, then to record phone calls from them and to them (inform them at
the outset that you are recording the call, to keep it legal), send
them a letter (signed for) and make a copy of the confirmation of
delivery on the Royal Mail website, and keep all relevant documents.

Then, when a debt collection agency finally connects with you by
phone, you can tell them they've been had and that these firms are
laughing at the debt collectors as they make money out of them by
selling them non-existent debts.

==========================================

The sad part is that, so far, this racket has probably been
sustainable, because some people will pay a relatively small fake bill
to keep their credit rating on track, and some others will be
intimidated by the aggressive letters and doorstep harrassment, and
some people are so feeble-minded that if you write to them often
enough they will come to believe what you are saying to them.

It may also be that these firms are in league with New Labour's policy
of crushing the spirit of freedom in England by passing endless laws
to control every detail of our lives and make us afraid to open our
mouths to speak for fear of 'offending' someone or other or of
breaking one of these obscure 'laws' that nobody's ever heard of.
Forcing us to doubt our own perceptions by telling us we owe money
which we don't owe is an additonal way to wear us down and break the
spirit of freedom and pave the way for the coming full-scale EU/NAFTA/
AU/ASEAN global dictatorship. All things are connected.

By the way, did you see the final episode of "The Prisoner" on ITV4 a

Looks like they have been taking lessons from the Carphone Warehouse
Group. I have had the same from TalkTalk and Fresh. They did not even
acknowledge letters sent for the personal attention of Charles Dunstone.

BG did threaten to sue me for charges for a period when a property was
nothing to do with on the basis I was the next tenant and someone had to
pay their bill.

I assume that if you wanted to show that you were a regular smart-arse
with little to contribute in general, you may say:

"British Gas doesn't HAVE any shareholders, and hasn't had for eleven

If you were wanting to be genuinely helpful you could say something

"Actually - there are no shareholders in BG anymore - Centrica was
formed in February 1997 following a demerger from British Gas plc and
is now the parent company of British Gas."

Which category would you be in?

I once bought a property ,where the previous owner had died. There was an
outstanding gas bill of £76.
This was from an estimated reading. Went through BG's sequence of ever more
threatening letters.
I had phoned them, told them it wasn't my bill and it was estimated, but
gave this up as it is a life consuming process.

Eventually they sold this debt to a debt collecting agency....got their
letters. Then a second agency. After about two years of playing the game,
got told if I didn't pay in 10 days they would take me to court. I phoned
them and said " no need to wait 10 days, take me to court"... this left the
guy a bit flustered..." no, it doesn't work like that". The letters kept
arriving until I eventually moved.

This is not a FAKE as such, there was a genuine dispute but they are

****ed off with these letters but now I will simply ignore them unless
they are so stupid as to file for this imaginary debt, which I doubt.

As for the guy wh said British Gas does not have shareholders, if they
are owned by Centrica, then Centrica are the shareholders; I've just

Just to clinch it - (the uncertainty - not your arse),
perhaps you can now tell us what BG Group plc has to do with the

All I want to say is that if the dispute is not formally concluded - then
the debt collectors will not sue for £40 but a late/non payment marker will
be put on his credit file which will have much more repercussions next time
he applies for a mortgage, loan or credit card.

No, they can put codings for number of payments in arrears, amount in
arrears, etc.

There is NO late payment because there is no debt. I'll check my
credit file next year or so, and if they've put any lies on it they'll
be hell to pay, even though I haven't bought anyrthing on credit for a
quarter of a century!

I had similar hassle with those morons at Virgin, they left me without
