Hello Everyone,
We have a similar problem with a company called CONTACT INFORMATION SERVICES or CIS LEADS.
Here is the story in short:
On the 21/03/07 we had an appointment with Mr A. Jacobs a CIS agent. Mr Jacobs has explained us that CIS is mainly selling business leads and for a sum of £200 payable by cheque we will receive every month at least 100 new leads that would cover Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire area. Everything looked fine but how wrong we were...
As during the past year we did not received a single informational pack, papers, documentation or anything that would have helped us contact the potential customers we have decided to call it a loss at that time especially after contacting them several times and being told all sorts of excuses. Bad printers, sick workers, waiting for data to be processed, etc.
We have contacted them recently in order to get a refund and the received answer was extremely rude, something like "go and f...k...yourself! We found this totally unacceptable as we were expecting them to refund us the £200 we have paid last year in respect to the above matter as they have not respected their part of the engagement but their very rude answer made us understood that there's no chance in getting the money back. So it was called a loss...unfortunately the story doesn't end here.
Five months ago we have received a letter stating that our account with CIS is £250 outstanding as we have not paid for 2008 part of the contract, a letter signed by someone called MARIA COLLINS, apparently the Accounts Manager. Then the letter was followed by several threatening phone calls from all sort of dubious people and phone numbers for more than three weeks, everyday.
Martin, John, Mick etc
01217777699, 01217022162, 08701266067
At this point we decided that we had enough and we have taken them to the court. We won the case and the court has sent the bailiffs to their door a week ago. The problem is that the letter we have received from the court the other day mentioned that the given address to the bailiffs is was pointing them to the registered office of Contact Information Services only therefore the bailiffs could do nothing and in order to issue another warrant we will have to pay extra fees. The address where the bailiffs went it is the address from CIS invoice:
Litton House, Global Business Park, Saville Road, Westwood, Peterborough. PE3 7PR
I have decided to do a little research myself and this is what I have found so far:
CIS Web Site
salesleads*co*uk
Domain Name Registrar
esterling*co*uk
WEB SITE's Registrant Address
1206 Stratford Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, West Midlands, B28 8HN
ADDRESS on the WEBSITE: (wrong postcode)
Litton House, Global Business Park, Saville Road, Westwood, Peterborough. PE37 7PR
I have checked the above address and it looks like there are so many other businesses registered at the same address:
Residential Landlords Association - RLA Property Ltd - rla*org*uk - with the business address in Manchester.
Claim Time Solicitors - claimtime*co*uk - Without a business address on their Web Site.
Barron & Co Accountants - Without a Web Site.
R J Evans Bullock And Co - Without a Web Site.
It is a NON LIMITED company, the reg number is NL17859938 and the registered address is the one from the invoice.
VAT No - 887085376
Contact Numbers: 01217777699, 01217022162, 08701266067
ACCOUNTS DIRECTOR - Maria Collins
This is all we have so far about these fraudsters. Is there anyone that knows CSI Leads or at least can help us identify them and stop them from stealing money from more and more businesses, please do get in touch.
Thank you all for your time and support, it is much appreciated.
