Essex ‘drainage protection’ company shut down following abusive cold-calling of vulnerable people

• Home Drainage Protection Service Ltd aggressively cold-called pensioners, people with medical conditions and other vulnerable people offering fake drainage protection plans 

• The company’s crude sales tactics included threatening people with the police and bailiffs if they did not sign up to their service 

• The firm also made unexplained payments worth millions of pounds to dozens of other companies, filed unverifiable accounts and failed to produce accounting records when requested by the Insolvency Service 

An Essex company which aggressively cold-called vulnerable people to sell drainage and electrical protection plans which had little or no real value, has been shut down.
