This is the telephone number for a company called Duncan regents who are no longer around....

Let us not forget about them, or the lies they told people, or the money they scammed from businesses. May they rot in hell.

These last few posts are jargon that Gary Davies who the original post is about has placed on here to try to divert you all from what the original post is about. Which is him and his family having a past off ripping people off and stealing your money. And now thinking he's sitting pretty under the 'utilty bill helpline' which now acts as a kind off trading standards helpline to all the clients he has conned out of 'millions'.  All he's doing is using his database off people who he's conned with his other companies to now recover money for knowing full well he has conned them already as he ans his family did the conning and charging them a commission for showing them how he can get their money back by their credit card company by signing a quick form.
Not a bad scam but some of us aren't behind the door Mr Davies
My advice is stay clear and report to trading standards immediately as they already have started to build a case on this family of con artists.
If you have been contacted or used the services off utilty bill helpline and have it's regarding claiming money back from previous companies who have done business rates appeals for you then you need to contact trading standards immediately as this will be them who have conned you before.

Important read these links when dealing with utilty bill helpline. All these are their companies. Are you a victim ?

Ok they won't copy and paste and let people open the link on here. So I will take my time to copy every what's on other forums about their past companies onto here. Keep posted.

Rates appeal consultants. Promise to reduce rates and seem very genuine, they are slick. Go to the valuation office agency and appeal yourself it's free. This company will charge u for doing very little and chances are your rates will stay the same or worse increase! Be careful out there!
This is a con !!

I have just received a letter from them informing me that they are in "liquidation". I feel robbed.
anon replied 2014-02-06 12:33:01
Kept hassling me since november for reduction in rates, agreed a partial payment in Dec and yesterday received an email letter to say they are in liquidation. They will obviously pop up again in another name and do the same so future buyers beware

We have paid £450 for your company to have our rates reviewed We have not heard anything since Please could you advise if you intend to keep our funds for no service

Total scam, I paid them £500 as they reviewed my case and promised me that I was due a refund in my business rates but it was all just a scam, my business was suffering anyway and they just made it worse, I was forced to close down because of people like this!

Paid ID Consultants Ltd £450, after having been called advising that I was entitled to rate rebate from 2010 was dubious about this Company (gut feeling) but after a few conversation they managed to convince me otherwise and I parted with the monies. BIG MISTAKE - take monies and then leave you high and dry!!!! They think they have had the last laugh, but they haven't, when I have finished with them they are going to wish they had never met me!!!!

please remember that these serious complaints that are over the web on different forums are a 'selection' of complaints to show the links between all the companies that were set up by the 'Davies' family to rip people off on their business rates that they have run down to the ground and got rid off after extracting millions with their sharp con and now sit there behind the 'utilty bill helpline' to offer refunds to the very clients they originally targeted to rip off and con. This is a full on conspiracy to defraud the public in every way. I will keep sending you samples off their complaints and all from the companies they set up. So if you have been contacted by the 'utilty bill helpline' in relation to them getting you a refund from one off these business rates companies who they will say ripped you off and acted illegally with their actions , which they know better than anyone as it was those who are now behind the 'utilty bill helpline' that did it.
This is a serious fraud that needs to be reported to the police and trading standards to show that all these companies are linked and have all been set up with one purpose and one purpose only and that's to defraud you. And the 'utilty bill helpline' is now using its own database off its past criminalities of fraud , deception, misrepresentation to extract more money out of their past victims once again by now claiming to be the good guys.
Open your eyes everyone and let's bring this family to account and in front of the legal system !

Big fraud company. needs to be reported.
I was promised to get reduction in rates aand kept calling me to pay for work carried out to reduce my rates. I thought probably were genuine and paid £400. after few days got letter,says appeal has been unsuccessfull. I wish i had seen the reviews. This company needs to be reported to fraus office.

was taken in by idc, they said i had overpaid my business rates by £10,000 and they could get it back. i paid them £50.00 + vat.after 8 months i received a letter from them, stating i was unsucessful in my appeal.igot someone else to look into this matter, and i was imformed that idc had lodged an appeal but withdrew it 2 days later !!. i live close to bolton, and i have told them that i will be popping into the office to speak to someone face to face

I stupidly signed up .now they will not return my calls .they are very convincing on the phone but once they have your money you won't hear from them again .i spoke to receptionist to try to get me thru to someone and I was told to put my request in writing .AVOID at all costs

These people at IDC just lie and tell you you have money due back on your rates when you don't!

They sound very genuine at first but when you check with valuation office they say that it is a scam.

Stay clear

This is a scam, stay clear, IDC contacted me a few weeks ago saying the same thing, so I checked out with my council and they said no such rebate was due and everybody gets an acknowledgement, it's just these dodgy firms 'play' on the word to trick you into meaning there's a reduction..... Glad I didn't fall for it

Been reading with interest. It seems there is a new kid in town called IDC Ltd in Bolton. They contacted me a while ago, not sure if they are linked with IDBC but it's the same story. They also call themselves ID Consultants Ltd. Blatantly lied to me and when I argued they said they would pass my file onto their legal team.

Fuming and embarrassed at being ripped off by idc !

Just found this and got I feel embarrassed and angry,
My wife paid monies to idc which are based in Bolton, they told me I was going to got several thousand pounds back and it was guaranteed..... I have rang them up since finding this information to be told our claim is with the valuation office and hasn't even being looked at yet, I then rang the valuation office and they have told me that I will definitely not be getting any rebates and to report ths company to trading standards.....  It may help if more people complained as they should nt get away with their tactics of mis-selling?

IDBC spoke with receptionist who said they could send me info as it was no win no fee.
I have since had numerous phone calls, letters and emails demanding a sum of £942. They are a joke.
I will not pay them a penny until a court demands I do so. Bloody day light robbery! SCAM.
Stick together people and they will have to get real jobs like the rest of us.

We prefer you to send complaints in writing (online, by email or by post). However, if you are unable to do so for any reason, please leave a message explaining this on our telephone Hotline.

Note – the following information relates to the investigation of companies that are actively trading, or which have ceased trading without entering into insolvency proceedings, using powers of investigation under the Companies Acts.  For information on investigations into companies which have entered into formal insolvency proceedings see our pages on Insolvent Companies.

With this in mind we wish to know about the activities of any company which appears to be causing significant harm to consumers, trade suppliers, service providers, investors etc., who have had dealings with it.  Also where there is any strong indication of serious misconduct in the management or affairs of a company.

Promote, advertise or otherwise participate in bogus investment schemes or other ‘get rich quick’ opportunities;

Engage in asset stripping operations;

Target vulnerable groups using high pressure selling techniques;

Take fees, deposits or other advance payments, in circumstances where there is little or no reasonable prospect of providing the goods or services offered;

Falsely claim to ‘ring fence’ or otherwise protect customer or client monies/funds in their possession;

Falsely claim to honour guarantee or warranty obligations;

Falsely claim official status, approval, authorisation, bonding, licensing etc., from or by a government or other official body;

Falsely represent, or otherwise abuse charitable, educational or religious status;
