A number of members have been in touch with our office looking to alert other members that attempts have been made by someone that is no longer employed by a company based in Northern Ireland seeking payments for outstanding balances.
It’s very important that you satisfy yourself that the details of the debt, the bank account to which it is now to be paid and the bona-fides of the person collecting the debt is genuine.
In some instances, slight variations in the trading name of the business may be overlooked by a bookkeeper or an owner when they are asked to make a payment to a new Bank account.
As responsible businesses, we have a duty of care to ensure that our debts are paid to the rightful owners. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
