DCA's have been known to scan signatures from your correspondence with them and paste them on to a credit agreement. Usually the scanned signature has a slightly grainy grey outline to it.

It may also be worthwhile scanning the agreement in (removing all personal details first) as it may not be enforceable even it hasn't been forged.

I'ld be happy to scan for you. If you want, PM me and i'll give you my address, send me what's to be scanned and a SAE and i'll scan and return either prints or .jpg's on a c.d. (ROM). Original doc's sent back with SAE etc...

Regards, Dave.

If you are unhappy about the state of the signatures write and tell them that you are not convinced they have complied with the CCA request and invite them to b******r off or take you to court.

If they take the latter step they will have to produce the original documents to show the judge and if they can't - well would you be impressed?

What absolutely appalling allegations. If anyone thinks a DCA forge documents go to the police. It is a MAJOR crime.

Would a DCA with a multi million £ turnover really do this for a measly debts? Obviously no. People signatures change over many years.

3 posts unapproved.

Please refrain from name calling and other slagging matches, and that applies to everyone.

Ramese, for info, there are ongoing investigations into different "financial institutions" (which shall rename nameless for obious reasons at this point ) where CAG has unveiled considerable evidence that this is exactly what has been done. Whether this is the case here or not, I can not say, but don't dismiss the possibility out of hand. You'd be surprised.

"DCA's have been known to scan signatures from your correspondence with them and paste them on to a credit agreement"

Proof? Details of Court hearing? If a DCA has been KNOWN to do this, why isn't there some EVIDENCE?

Because it doesn't happen that's why.

There are 'bad apples' in every group of society, as I'm sure you'll agree.

As an intrinsically honest person, I have to say that I partially agree with your position that debt evasion does not benefit society as whole.

Laws, however, must be obeyed - by us all.

As a former DCA (I'm guessing), your viewpoint has a place on this site - perhaps expressed more informatively than confrontationally.

HTH,
T.

Some of the so called CCA agreements that members have posted on here have so obviously been cobbled together that a blind man on a galloping horse couldnt fail to spot the inaccuracies. A five yr old child could do better

I think you may find that due to the sensitivity of the information and the facthat the DCAs monitor this forum you will find that nothing will be disclosed re this matter until its in the public domain. Im sure the wait will be worth it
