What an absolute shower of poo this…
What an absolute shower of poo this company is. Iam trying to sort a debt that I have somehow ended up with. I get a email from them saying please call the office. I try calling them 12 times in 2 days and end up on hold for 30-45 minutes each time waiting for an agent to answer. But all I get is cut off. They strike me as a cowboy bully company that I can’t believe dvla is using.

Harrassment
"Dear John Street. Please call Capital Resolve on 01386 258440 regarding an outstanding penalty fine due to DVLA. Case number DV1232624. Alternatively, you can view our letter to you at www .cr-portal. com/account/signin"
I have received multiple text messages addressed to “John Street” regarding an alleged outstanding DVLA penalty fine, asking me to contact Capital Resolve. I do not know anyone by that name and I do not have any outstanding payments due to the DVLA.
The repeated messages are now becoming excessive and feel close to harassment. It is also concerning to receive unsolicited texts of this nature without any prior verification or attempt to contact the correct person. Messages like this can appear highly suspicious and potentially resemble phishing, which may cause unnecessary distress, particularly for vulnerable individuals or those with anxiety.

Predatory scam

My name is Ben, I dont know a Claire Welsh nor do I drive. Pretty dodgy of them to just send out a text like that without trying to call first. Feels like a phishing scam, receiving a message like that out of the blue can be pretty harmful and distressing to people with anxiety/vulnerable people. It feels like they don't care how they affect others as long as they can get some money.

Hi Ben
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for providing further details upon request.
We’re sorry to hear that you received an email not intended for you. We want to reassure you we act in good faith with the information provided to us by our client, however sometimes, details can be incorrectly linked to an individual, and we are always happy to investigate this promptly and correct any errors.
From looking at the account, I can see a mobile number has now been archived. Whilst I cannot confirm if this is yours, I politely ask if you receive any further communications to call or email us at contactdrs@capitalresolve and advise us of the case number and your contact number so it can be removed immediately.
We’re very sorry if receiving our message felt distressing. That is never our intention. We understand that unexpected outreach can sometimes feel startling, especially given the prevalence of phishing scams today. Please be assured that we are a legitimate business and we take that concern seriously.

Which one: scam or bully?
Awful company and awful service. I received a letter in the post telling me I owed OVO energy £76 and threats that it will affect my credit score if I didn’t pay. I don’t even have/ never had an account with OVO Energy.
The only thing I could think of was my old flat, since OVO supplied us there, but our bill (and OVO Account) were solely in my ex-flat mate’s name (who was in charge of our energy bill at the time). She never received a similar letter from Capital Resolve, but showed me our old OVO account which still confirms that we had settled our final bill.
My current flat doesn’t use energy provided by OVO nor did I have any other previous ones that did. I tried to contact OVO Energy separately but returned with nothing AS I DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM.
Capital Resolve’s phone number is completely obsolete, solely stating various emails to write to before cutting itself off. No chance at talking to a real person.
I wrote an email to their dispute inbox and haven’t heard back. Saw you could also raise a dispute if you created an account with them, so I tried. It asks for your case number and surname, and once entered, tells you due to data handling they can’t process creating an account, and refer you to call their obsolete phone number - how convenient.
Absolutely brain dead service and I find it disgusting how intentionally difficult they make it to contact them, cornering people to make a payment when they feel pressured about the potential threats to their credit history. One bully of a service.

Hi Jessica
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re very sorry to read about your experience and understand how concerning it must be to receive a letter regarding a balance you believe is not due.
In some cases, letters can be issued where details have been incorrectly linked to an address or individual, and we are always happy to investigate this promptly and correct any errors.
We’d like to clarify that our customer service phone line is active and staffed during our published opening hours, however some of our options do advise of an email address to contact us. We apologise for any frustration this caused.
We’d really like the opportunity to resolve this for you. When emailing us, you should receive an immediate acknowledgement that this has been sent to us. If you did not get this, please check the email address you sent it to and ensure it was correct. If you’re happy to provide us with the Case Number relating to this account, we’d be happy to look into why it didn’t allow you to register via our portal and raise a dispute via this channel.

Do due diligence first
Got sent an email stating it was from this company on behalf of DVLA and for non payment of tax - spoke to DVLA and they said to ignore it, particularly as I haven’t had a car registered to me in last 24 months and always taxed car on time for past 2 decades. Please do due diligence before clicking on the links from the emails sent - reported it to the government phishing email as well.
