Scotcall/Resolvecall - doorstep menace ..help needed fed up!

[sar2004]

Hi Everyone

 

Hopefully someone can help with this.

Last week I had a card pushed through the letter box from Scotcall saying it was a first visit and that I had to call a number etc. No more info on the card stating what it was about. I called the number to find out what it was about and was asked a heap of personal/security questions. The call went round in circles as I would not confirm my details so they could not tell me anything. I told them to put the matter in a letter so I could consider it. I heard nothing via letter.

Anyway since then Mr Scotcall has visited my house no less than 4 times. Twice when I was not in so I just ignored that as no point calling them for the same nonsense.

When he actually caught me at home the first time in he asked me to confirm who I was and I would not. He then gave me a sermon about his role for Scotcall and how he was to put us in contact with each other etc. I said tell them to put whatever their issue is in writing and I will not have any discussion with you. I politely closed the door and told him to leave. He stood there for a good five mins and then eventually left.

He has now just been back again and I repeated what i said the first time that i will not talk to him and i want it in writing. He has a fleece type jacket on with scotcall on it and a badge with scotcall so basically the world and his wife walking past will assume I owe money and think they know my business.

Anyway he stands there again after I politely say 'jog on' and after a while sticks another card through which says 'resolve call' on it and that he will call again.

Twice now I have told him not to call again and i am sick of the humiliation of it...after 4 visits you would think he would give up.

 

I believe this may be part of a debt I disputed some time ago and it is not a huge amount of money either - around 700-800 quid. I asked some questions in a letter to the original company re evidence of this supposed debt and heard nothing back so left it but I guess the debt has been passed on to these scotcall/resolve call people now.

 

I really am reluctant to engage in any discussion with these people now, debt is probs around 5 years old anyway. I just want to stop this man turning up at my house all the time - can anyone give me a clue as to how I do this?

just tell him to go away right know or you will call the police.

Take his photograph or film him, tell him to jog on, and if he remains call the Police, tell them you have someone on your doorstep who won't leave when they are told to, and you believe they will cause a breach of the peace, then hang up.

 

And don't forget to make the obligatory complaints to all those who claim to police this industry.

This method of cold calling, especially by a powerless DCA, needs to be stamped out, it has no place in society anymore, might have worked in the 70's and 80's, but it sure as hell doesn't have any place in this millennium..

Also if scotcall are involved then its a lemon debt. I can't find one instance of them.chasing a valid debt. They just like to buy bogus debts for 5% of their worth them hope someone is stupid enough to believe they have to pay the full amount. And there must be people like that otherwise they would be out of business.
