Thanks for the advice so far. I have a signed letter from my friend stating that he was the sole proprietor of the business and asking them to cease correspondance to me and to take my name from any accounts / liabilities they may have me held for. I will also be writing a formal complaint.
Regarding the debt, am I correct to assume that because the second bill was issued incorrectly due to false information given to the council by the estate agent that it was never vaild in the first place and should not incur fees for non payment?
They've basically billed for all of the court and bailiff fees twice for 2 the sepearate bills.
Also, baliff fess of £283.50 seem a bit steep as even if they were chasing both seperately, they should still be no more than £106, £53 for each warrant? Nothing has been levied and there have only been visits and from what i've researched on here baliffs can only charge £35 plus £18 for a second visit per warrant?
Even if they add VAT on top that's only £121.20
