The highly professional outfit impact collections on on behalf of vanquis!

[Gerald Gardner]

Anyone who has had dealings with this shower of 5hit will know all about the ethics that they stand for.

 

Being harassed by the vermin at impact is an absolute joy now,for those that don't know they use something called Intelligent Call Diversion Concept icd for short which enables them to use hundreds of different CLI's when they call you since they are now no longer allowed to call without leaving a number, this is the way they get around the fact that they know many people have caller display will see the number and not answer,these are just some of the numbers i have collected im sure they have hundreds more and all divert to the main number of vanquis /impact.

What i did to remove the stress and anxiety that they were insisting on giving me was to get myself a personal number, i use flextel, you can get one free of charge and you can redirect it to any number you want free of charge and do lots of advanced features temp bar call , analyse etc etc, at no cost to you,even record a conversation and have it sent to you as a wave file for a small fee, it costs the caller about 60 pence a minute to call and so when you consider that i get around 6 or more calls a day from them it would cost them a good sum of money if thousands of people did the same.

 

Here is the cherry on the cake, calls to these numbers are "end-user" revenue share so every time these mugs call you can earn up to 3 pence per minute, thats right they will be paying you.

 

In order to set this up once you have your personal number you do have to talk to them which i know lots of people don't like doing, you could write i suppose but it's essential as you need to give them your new personal number.

 

In the meantime i changed my landline number and got a pay as you go mobile sim and redirected my personal number to that new mobile number and i am now in total control of every call they make to me and as you know once they have latched on to you their auto dial equipment goes into overdrive.

 

You can use this method for any of these parasites that populate in call centres around the country and what it does is it's puts you in control. Take control people.

 

I was also a little devil when i first setup, i redirected to one of their own numbers,so they actually ended up phoning themselves up

 

Don't let these **** intrude on your life

Very good method of dealing with these "people"

 

If you redirect to one of their 0800 numbers they will get charged again for receiving the call ... just a thought to make them as unprofitable as possible

Nice one Gerald. As this is the way you like to deal with these idiots, you might enjoy this thread of mine from a while back: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?84928-Fred-Bassett-v-Egg-Credit-Solutions&p=2716650&viewfull=1#post2716650 The link is from the point where I did something similar.

Good idea Grumps, im on holiday in a couple of weeks, they can call themselves on one of their 0800 numbers for a week.

There's a lot of fun to be had from turning things around and taking the **** out of these donkeys. I've been making a career out of it for about 5 years now!

Good on you fred, like you iv'e been able to turn the tables on these turds, in fact i decided that i would have some fun with them this week.First one was a woman trying to talk in a really soft gentle caring voice asking for me by first name,have you suffered speech difficulties in the past i asked? i can help i know a good speech therapist,anyway i said why do you always ask for me by my first name? only my mates and my parents do that and you are neither, she said because of the data protection act,at this point i fell off my chair laughing, i said you really can't help being clueless can you, she said this is a serious offence,really i said what you going to do send round Scotland yard to interrogate me? you've been watch to much tv luv.No we will send out a field agent to your address, i said you can send out a 5ucking secret agent for all i care it still don't change the fact that because you are a bunch tossers, you are never getting any money from me,oh and i have recorded this call, (they don't like it when you say that and don't give them a chance to respond) end of call.

 

Then just the very next day i had one with a cockney accent asked for me. Hello can i speak to Gerald, no you can't, you have got no chance of getting hold of him,why he replied,he pi55ed off when he won the lottery, oh right he said, yep he got 3 numbers up and he was out of the door quicker than usain bolt,i don't even know where he is and im he's 5ucking boyfriend,he must of been even more clueless than the woman the day before if that is possible, anyway he said ok, i said don't go i need to bump up revenue im going on holiday in a few weeks, he put the phone down.

 

I urge anyone that is having trouble with these lowlife to get control, don't be afraid they are clueless,improve you life now, your not a criminal, it's not easy for some i know but you can do it,and for all those that can do it, a big

I too am being pestered by Vanquis/Impact and their millions of telephone numbers. The trouble is I am getting on a bit and I don't know how to direct the call back to them or whatever it is you do!

Please help

Chris,

 

 

First, you need to sign up for a free 07 number with somebody like dmclub.co.uk.

 

The next bit works if your 'phone provider is BT but I'm not sure about others. You can sign up for a few quid to have a divert service that allows you to divert all of your calls to another number. That's what I do, or used to - I don't get bothered any more. Better still, get the DCAs to accept that the 07 number is the one they can get you on.

 

Regards.

My wife and I bought a house about 16 months ago. Not long after we moved in we started getting the phone calls (on the landline) for the previous owners partner. At first I accepted this and decided not to bother.

 

About 3 weeks ago I lost the plot at the Vanquis phone jockey and decided that the threat of the police and FSA might work. I was told that the person named on the account had used our landline number to call 2 months previously. I asked her to check their records and they would see it was me calling them in order to shout and generally let off steam.

 

Today Impact called. I asked if they were a debt collection agency and was told " I can't tell you that" I replied "fine, Google is my friend" I also said that I wanted his name, team number, extension, and a return telephone number. IU got all thisinformation, although he seemed very surprised that someone knew to ask for this. He has spoken to another dept. to get my number removed. He called me back within 10 minutes to assure me that this had been done. I said that I hoped for his sake it had been, as vicarious Liability would see him personally and the company jointly and severally liable for the distress, lost sleep, and general harassment caused by these phone calls.

 

Seemed to sort them out

 

Have a great day

Vanquis/Impact are tricky due their lack of email addresses in that phone calls seem to be the only way. I did find however, e-mailing the chief exec (below) when lodging a complaint for harassing phone calls worked a treat. Calls stopped, formal response received within 3 days.
