Newsagents being chased on Bill Express debt

Some newsagents have recently received letters from a firm called Professional Collection Services (PCS) demanding money in relation to Bill Express.  The Bill Express liquidator has engaged PCS to collect Bill Express debts relating to telecommunication services incurred prior to Bill Express ceasing operations. Unfortunately the letters of demand to not specify what the debt relates to or any other relevant details.  I’m told that the legal advice for anyone who receives such a letter if to immediately write back and seek details of the claim in writing so that this can be verified.  The contact details are: PCS, PO Box 85, Collins Street West, VIC 8007.  Email: vicadmin@profcoll.com.au.  This is not something to ignore.

    Catch me if you can … I sold my newsagency in mid 2009 and I have ABSOLUTELY no intention of giving those theives a cent if or when I receive a letter of demand. The creditors must be dreaming if they don’t think newsagents will resist any moves to recover money for services not received (based on the in-kind contracts we all signed)

    Has anyone had any more luck than us finding out from them what they claim the money is owed for?

    Dave, it’s apparently for telco services. But you need to ask for details in writing if you received a letter.

    Mark, I’ve requested details from them twice, only response I’ve received was a second letter saying pay immediately or we commence legal action.
