Default Have a look at who are members of the CSA

Whilst replying to another thread, I came accross this:

CSA Website

If I said what I think I'd be banished to the nawty corner

And after reading their code of practice and picking myself up off the floor from laughing, I'd be permanently there...

CSA Website

(Don't worry, the link's aren't the same when you click them )

CSA will let anyone join, as long as they pay. Just try complaining about one of their "members" and see how far you get

How kind of them to supply personal email addresses. Now if I were a Nigerian General who had 15 million US Dollars belonging to a dead politician and looking for someone to be my business partner ...............

What kills me is the slogan, (the one that keeps changing at the top of the members list).

"Serve and Protect"

Think they must watch reruns of Hill Street Blues.

"Serve and Protect" the Humberside Police motto too.

I wonder if they fancy themselves as bastions (or similar sounding word) of law & order?

Perhaps we should attach a copy of their code of practice to any letters we have to send to them!

This one is funny too:

Well a lot of them, allegedly, like to make cusotmers/victims believe being in debt is a criminal offence and that they could end up in prison

Great idea. Highlight the ones they've broken for ease of reference The downside to that would be that many would be completly highlighted and we'd need an enormous supply of highlighter pens

not to mention the reams of paper and printer ink that would be wasted, you would need a rain forest just to provide the paper

What did you expect ............. them to admit they are a bunch of scum bags who live off the misfortunes of others ............... no realistic chance of that was there.

Incidentally the site is set up to give a veneer that they are all responsible firms who wouldn't dream of breaking the law. It's for the benefit of the politicians who have unfortunately fallen for it hook line & sinker
