I too have had one of these yellow cards.......
Did anyone come round to you and, if so, what did they want???

Was the card posted by hand or the old 'second class' rubbish?

Yes, we've had the same. No more probs since reporting them to the Police and getting incident number. Had a card with a field of pumpkins on it recently tho,no idea who from just a telephone number which we didn't bother to use

Me to! But let us know anyway

Power2Contact are a tracing agency, no doubt on a fishing expedition on behalf of a DCA. File anything they send under 'ignore'.

When you write back to a letter which states they are charging you enclose a bill for secretarial/legal services and ask them for immediate payment.... should raise a few eyebrows their end. After all you too have overheads and costs involved.....

HI, I just got a lovely yellow christmas card!!!! just like you all have said the only thing is that today is 7th and the card was posted on 3rd hence he should have come 2 days ago.8)

Also is it just me or is the surname of the protential person the same as yours?????????

I had a card fro them and i sent in a official complaint to them and the company that hired them as the card was free for anyone to read had my reference number on and was in breach of OFT rules.

Got a snotty letter back 8 weeks later and the DCA didn't know why they were contacted, think they are under the same roof as CSL.

I recieved one of these little yellow cards with an appointment with a Mr J White (how original)

power 2 Contact are indeed under the same roof as CSL and are probably a subsiduary of the same company.

They rang my wife yesterday and she compained that no one had turned up for the appointment their rep said we were lucky as it was the baliffs that were coming round. Odd that considering the debt has never reached court, they must think we were all born yesterday.

I don't think the card contravenes the Data Protection Act but I have enquired with the Information Commissioners Office just in case. I have also reported their behaviour the the OFT although I doubt any action will be taken.

I have sent them a snotty letter regarding their actions and will wait now to hear back from them. They breached their own guidelines set out on their website too Credit Solutions

HAK

Not sure I would have the equipment nor the knowledge how to record a telephone conversation, besides which isn't it illegal to do that without their permission?

Ian

When they answer they tell you they are recording the conversation for training purposes - tell them in return you are recording the conversation - it ISNT illegal to do that provided you state it at the beginning and not halfway through.

But how would I do it? I don't have a speakerphone and I have no idea how to wire up some kind of recorder to the phone, I am afraid I am a confirmed technophobe

I have received a little yellow card today (Thursday) saying they will call on Wednesday, it doesn't say which Wednesday and it doesn't say whether it will be by phone or in person. Has anyone ever received a visit from these people?

No its just a fright tactic. Ignore it and write to them and tell them you will only deal by written correspondance.
