Thumbs up My partners quick way of getting rid of a DCA- He says it works.

My partner says this works and TBH we have not had a DCA/OC call us for months now.

When ever a DCA/OC rang up in the past and wanted money or more money to pay a debt he would politely explain we had not more money.

They would start getting demanding but he would stick to his guns. One day he got bored with these idiots as it was the third time in 3 days he decided he would have a laugh.

The when his phone went and they started asking for more money he decided to start chatting them up and asking personal questions and then started freeking them out by saying stuff like you know what l want to do to you, can l tell u about this freeky fettish l have.

The DCAs/OCs quickly hung up and are yet to call back.

I dont think the fetish option would work for a female, I can confirm that being weird on the phone does work though

I think a great trick when they phone is to say nothing but give it a lot of heavy breathing coupled with the sounds of passion - The don't necessarily hang up but they don't interrupt either

If they do, and you have the nerve, say,

Hold on, i will just get him/her for you, put the phone down to one side and then go off and do something else.

8 minutes and 10 seconds was the longest they ever held on for me.

They dont ring anymore, strange that.

Hiya guys

I had a bit of fun with a DCA who was pestering us a while back. I must admit I don't normally enter into a discussion of any kind with them but I was in an extremely bad mood and they caught me right at the wrong moment

They phoned for the umpteenth time asking for my OH so I said "he has run off with another woman!"

The guy asked if I knew his forwarding address so I said I didn't but when I did I was going to go round and cut off his [edit] and stuff them down his throat...and that I was extremely distressed right now so if he (the caller) didn't [edit] and stop pestering me I would go round to their office and do the same to him!!

He quickly apologised for calling and said sheepishly that if I did hear from my OH perhaps I would kindly let him know they had called...rofl

After that the calls stopped!

Great fun!

Love SG x
