Dont be scared of these idiots , at the end of the day its a voice on the end of a phone line , if you dont like what you are hearing take a deep breath and replace the reciever , its hard the first time but after that its much more simple . Unless like me and fuzzy you actually enjoy playing these lovely people at their own game , nothing is better than getting one of the dcas off their script , .They really do not have a clue .

If they knock your door without your permission , just shut the door dont speak to them and if they continue knocking inform them you are going to ring the police , if they continue then call the police . They do not have the law on their side its on ours , they have no more rights than a pizza delivery boy , who infact has more as he has been invited , there is a letter in the templates that covers this . http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/letter-templates/131334-dca-response-threats-home.html

Anyone had any dealing with these ? How low are they down the evolution scale . regards LB

BUY BACK YOUR ACCOUNT Dear LB I am writing to offer you a unique solution to the outstanding debt you have with our client LPI ltd by giving you the oppurtunity to BUY BACK YOUR ACCOUNT The concept is simple and easy to follow , you simply bid for your account and if your bid amount reaches our reserve price then the account is yours , you will no longer receive debt collection letters or calls , any pending legal action will be stopped and your credit file will be ammended . Alternatively , if you are unable to bid a lump sum to buy your account back i am willing to reduce you balance by 25% and you can pay the remainder off at 35 a month . then it goes on with all the usual threats blah de blah . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON WITH THESE PEOPLE ARE THEY REALLY THAT THICK TO THINK THAT ID FALL FOR THIS ONE .

cheers

A miss Lyodd called just as the one show was doing a bit on dca and their dodgy ways of harassing people , .First she lied that she had rang earlier , wrong i had been in all day then she lied that when she rang she had spoke to the babysitter , er what babysitter , then she asked for me to take a number so mrs could get back in touch , thats when i put the phone right by the tv and turned it up and there was dominic littlewood going on about dca's and their dodgy ways , she still waited over 4 mins before i told her that she had won the idiot in suspense record for the day , her reply was that she had the wrong number and would call back later lol. THINK A 1-0 to the brummies for that one .

Old skool getting involved again , wind these fookers up as far as you can .

RW , Ive had 1 or 2 run ins with these and happily ive won them all see my threads . They are not as clever as they believe themselves to be . Keep involved and the people of the CAG will see you right
