Thread: Help Tracking Down a Web Host Crook

Hi everybody,

I'm new here (as you can see ), and was recommended to join by a fellow member on another forum.

I was wondering if anyone has had contact with or could help me track down a certain person (well, more like a company) who I have made a court claim against but still won't pay up.

I'm about to commence a bailiff's warrant but I want to make sure the address I gave the courts is actually where the guy lives. I don't want the bailiffs knocking on the door only to find that some poor old lady lives there.

Details:

Registered company director: Mr Ryan Curtis (born 1986)
Known affiliates (possibly aliases): Mr Craig Berry, Mr Paul Berry

Name of company: Port9 Ltd. (still active)
Company aliases: UKEasily.co.uk, Hostingdepartment.net

Company's registered address:
PORT9 LTD
11 MURRAY STREET, CAMDEN
LONDON
GREATER LONDON
NW1 9RE
(Court claim serve notice was initially sent to this address, was returned unserved)

Ryan Curtis' last known address:
PORT9 Ltd
PORT9 House One
22 Woodside ST
Stalybridge, UK
SK15 3SB
(Court claim service resent to this address, judgement won by default (i.e. Serve notice was not returned and no response for 30 days)

Known phone contact: 01457 835 952 (line still active but no response)

I have determined using samknows.com that the above phone number is definitely at 22 Woodside St, or if not, extremely nearby.

I found another address:
HD Solutions
Office 29
Greenheys Business Centre
Pencroft Way
Manchester
M15 6JJ

After some searching I found that the only company that existed at that address was Able2fix Limited, which has been dissolved.

Their domain is: www.able2fix.com (still active)

I'm trying to find out the contact details of this domain, I suspect it was registered by the father of Mr Ryan Curtis.


...

So yeah if anyone knows the the whereabouts of anyone associated with Port9 Ltd a.k.a. UKEasily.co.uk a.k.a HostingDepartment.net, could you please let me know

services paid for upfront, and claims for services I paid for which I didn't receive, including addons such as dedicated IP for several months etc.

over £100

The CCJ for £ 139 is showing against Port9 Ltd, two directors associated:

Deborah Heywood and Ryan Curtis both of 22 Woodside Street (as you have it).

Neither have alternate directorships and this business has no other associated former directors/changes in structure. Last returns were 01/2008.

There are 106 historical Paul Berrys, 12 historical Craig Berrys but no obvious association between any.

i don't think you will get very far with getting any cash back unfortunatly.

Hi,

I can echo what Sam says.

I was in Greenheys only a few weeks ago (we have a quarter rack there with the aforementioned UK Grid) and the office which he referred to is still labelled Port 9 t/a UK Easily above the door.

Although, it might have been because it was a Saturday when I went in to Greenheys, but the office looked rather deserted... and rather empty.

If you are going to send a summons, I would suggest contacting enquiries@mspl.co.uk first (mspl.co.uk = Manchester Science Parks Ltd) and ask if Port 9 t/a UK Easily are still a tenant and/or left a forwarding address.

Hope this helps!
