Forrester UK Holdings LLC Complaints - Fraudulent claims for money

Review all Forrester UK Holdings LLC complaints

Forrester UK Holdings LLC

Fraudulent claims for money
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 9 votes
Despite returning equipment and paying all fees for equipment rental up to end of the contract, Forrester UK Holdings llc are still chasing me for money they say I owe them. Despite having signed for receipt of the returned equipment sent to the address supplied by Casper from Forresters, they are now denying all knowledge of having had the equipment returned. It was sent registered to their UK address and it was signed for. They now claim I owe them £600+ for this equipment which we were told by their agent is now obsolete in design and cannot be used again. They have appointed a UK debt collection agency to chase me for money I don't owe them. The debt collection agency, TNC Legal Services, have been provided with ALL evidence including copies of paperwork from the UK post office confirming signatures on who signed for the equipment. Still Forresters insist I am chased for money not owed to their client. Next step for me is to involve the Office of Fair Trading and also the banking ombudsman in the UK. This is because LloydsTSB insisted these were the only supplier they had approved for card services provision for my now closed business. This is anticompetitive and places LloydsTSB in part responsible for the mess Forresters have created.

We have a similar situation where they tried up front to say we owed them arrears on lloydsTSB equipment. We were able to prove via bank statements that we had in fact paid them in advance not arrears. This they accepted. However after I sent the equipment back i unfortunately neglected to cancel the direct debit and the y took another quarters payment. despite faxes and numerous phone calls and emails and have not had a single response from them. They are basically crooks who rely on their call centre being in the USA and shame on LloydsTSB cardnet for allowing them to continue this practice, and by association it must reflect badly on LloydsTSB

I am having a similar problem with them. I cancelled lease last November writing to their American office. I received letter instructing me regarding return of equiment. I returned it and it was definitely signed for. I canceled Direct Debits, informed LLoyds TSB. Now this awful american woman phones me every day and they keep sending invoices with exhorbitant interest added on. I have threatenend them with Trading Standards and the Banking Ombudsman but I fear as they are an American Company there will be nothing they can do.

We are a book-keeping company for a number of companies and have had dealing with them regarding two of our clients.

The First One - Hypercom was chasing for a payment for a non-returned machine. It hade been returned and our client did not have any proof of this. They wanted a figure of around £600 for the terminal and rental. In the end our client sent them a cheque for £350 stating this would be all they would pay. We have not heard anything since, but needless to say I shall be expecting an invoice for the years rental charge soon!!!

The Second One - Our client cancelled the contract with them in May 2006 returning all the Hypercom terminals that they had. They were chased in May 2007 for arrears owing, at which time we sent them a letter stating the contract had been cancelled the previous year with copies of the letter and eventually they cancelled the invoice.
In May 2007 we receive from them another letter requesting payment for "this years contract". I have sent them 3 faxes stating we now longer have a contract with them and copies of previous correspondance and still they keep chasing.
This is now becoming a royal pain in the neck and my feeling is "they can take the longest walk of the shortest pier" and I am not prepared to send them any more copies. It looks bad for us that we are not paying a supplier but I have explained it to our client and they are happy for them to keep sending the letters.

Let them chase for payment and take us to court as I feel they would just be told to get on their bikes!!!

totally agree that they are hiding behind computer generated invoices and using a UK mailbox to avoid UK law. We too had to use hypercom otherwise LloydsTSB would not service our account.

Am still getting computor generated demands from them. Last month someone called Darius left a message that why I still owed them money was that they did not get their equipment back until January ( I sent it in December as soon as they informed me where to send it. I wrote (recorded delivery) asking for confirmation thatif I pad the two month hire which they say it outstanding that would be final. Surprise surprise I have not has confirmation. Instead anoter demand but more threatening this time. The person's name on eevery demand is a
iMs Angel. According to her event though my agreement was canclled last November and the equipment returned in
December my hire agreement must remain current at all times!

I have threatened them with Solicitors and trading standards but they are not bothered. Has anyone any suggestions what else to do?
