A lot of DCA Credit Licences have Event Numbers in their History (check their credit licence, then click on 'History' at the bottom of the page. Click on anything 'Open'. Does anybody know where the glossary for these numbers is?

I cannot understand why these companies don't broadcast their 'successes' loudly! They always seem to refer to 'confidentiality reasons' but quite honestly, they could alter names of successful cases, but it seems none of them want to do so. This is very disturbing. I think many people would like answers.

"Communicate and negotiate..." - talk about polishing poo!

:D

subbing.

One day, DCAs, your turn will come. It'll be your mother or father, someone in your family, alone and vulnerable that some goons in your shoddy little 'industry' are scaring to death. Justify yourselves then!!

:evil:

22 formal actions taken, 7 licences surrendered, 4 licences refused or removed, 4 businesses being given significant undertakings, 4 cases where requirements have ben imposed. Which 7 surrendered their licences? 4 licences refused or removed - who were they??

It is sad pda123. Brave of you to post then.

Thanks everyone I've emailed my MP, Watchdog, You and Yours, Georgia Warren at The Times... If anyone has contacts, please can you let them know?
