Just received a letter from the The Ministry of Justice :-

Ministry of Justice
PO Box 942
Beaconsfield
HP9 1ZE  

Tel 0870 442 5850 (possibly a direct line)

The fax number is 01494 731771.

This department was created on 9 May 2007 and they've started using 0870 numbers immediately.

Don't try to contact them today - Queen's Birthday and so there unlikely to be anyone there.

Does anyone have any ideas how to contact them on a GN?

Putting the fax number into Google (see here) reveals several pages that give 01494 731770, including the website of the company to which this number belongs.  ::)

Transaction Analysts Limited
35 Wycombe End
Beaconsfield
Buckinghamshire
HP9 1LZ

Tel: 01494 731770

Many thanks for that, the background is as follows :-

I received a letter headed "Ministry of Justice" asking for information to be sent to their auditors at the Beaconsfield address.  They also referred to a letter sent in March of which I have no trace.  I'm not sure how an organisation created on 8 May 2007 could have sent a letter some 2 months earlier.  

I phoned the GN and ascertained that the person mentioned worked there but was not present today.

I have since done a post-code search and found that it does indeed relate to Transaction Analysts.

I downloaded the accounts to 30 June 2006 which show a loss of £303,780 on a turnover of £2,025,032 (2005 loss £227,401, turnover £2,468,467).  Under the accounting policies section of the accounts there is a paragraph "The directors believe the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements to be appropriate because the company's forecasts indicate that the facilities available from the company's bankers and the agreed terms of loan repayments will result in the company having sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its cashflow requirements over the next 12 months"

I am very suspicious that such an organisation has links to the MoJ and as such, I am unlikely to respond to their request.

I think I know something about this company and what they are doing, I will post some information soon.

Hi Sue,

I might be albe to add something here.

Don'r keep us in suspense Susan!

Just do it!
