Bless Michelle, thank you. You can see from the panic moments I had, its much easier to comment on other peoples problems, and see them for what they are, rather than your own:eek:
We'll get there, with the help of all the lovely people here:)
we will !
and i want to thank you again for all your help on my thread.
theres apart of me now wishing i did all my reclaims myself instead of getting one of them companies to do it for me, you have inspired me remus!! xx

hi sue, that was realy nice what you put, i and im sure most people can relate to it very well,
before i discoverd this site, any letters that came thru my door from debt collectors was put straight in to the bin, my phone would be constently ringing driving me mad, letters dca would send to say they were gonna come round my house on such a day would leave me bricking it. my blinds in my front window was always closed shut,and i never opened that window, (cos i had seen a debt collectors show on tv, where the man turns up at a house and goes thru the window,and apparently he is well within his rights to do so)
now things are very different,il have my blinds open and i will open that window, i have caller id on my phone and have barred with held numbers,and il open my mail with a smile on my face and not feel depressed and sad, and know i can go on this web site and share it with you guys and get that much needed support and advice that can make me that stronger person ive so longed to be thru out all this. xx

hi everyone,
i recieved a letter from hillesden securities yesterday, they have took over the debt i owe citi financial,
they write to tell me they have requested a copy of my signed credit agreement from citi.
how long does it take them i requested that months ago! xx
-
TS asked me the same thing
i replied
"its my legal right to query this so i am exercising that right!"
it soon shut him up.
when the bloke asked me why i was reqesting my credit agreement, i cant remember saying any thing, i was so gob smacked i realy wasent expecting that. xx
-
thank you all so much for your support,you guys are my inspiration and with out you here helping me, i would never have done any of this,THANK YOU!!!
A while ago,i come across a unfair charge lloyds had took out of my account (£35) becouse it was so little,i dident bother passing it on to the company i have sorting out my others.
i thought to myself, so what if its just £35 its mine, so used a letter of this site and requested it back,
they replyed with a letter to say that my letter had been recieved and they will get back to me within 4 weeks.
they today sent me a letter saying they have put the money back in to my account, lol it made my day!! xx

hi everyone,
when i told the bloke at trading standards that hamptons (lowells) rang my parents house and told my mum what they did, he dident realy have much to say about the matter.
after reading lots of threads on people having fantastic results after contacting trading standards,i was very gutted,that i had some one who was not interested in helping me.
the only thing he seemed remotely interested in was why i was requesting copies of my signed credit agreement when i new i was in debt with them in the first place.
the thing is i couldent prove they contacted my parents house, even if i wanted too, i have a rough date of when it happend (i put it on this thread i think the day after) but i dont have the time etc i think it was early evening??) maybe they record all there call at there end?
ive not heard a thing from lowells/hamptons for a while now.
some thing els ive notice is, when one dca goes quite another one starts banging there drum,
michelle xx

Hiya Mich
Just reading what you said about Lowells
I've found that the ones who allege I owe them hundreds rather than thousands of pounds are a bigger pain in the rear than the ones who allege I owe them thousands!
I wonder if this is the norm across the board for DCAs?
Have a good day Mich
Love Spiritgirl x
hi spiritgirl, thats a good point you have made,
maybe is becouse they are more likley to get the smaller debts owed payed sooner,so they act this way to get them, where as the bigger ones take more time ???? xx
-
whoops!! and again , my children are climing over me,and i keep haveing edit my message.and it wont let me simply delete it
-
thanks everyone for replying,
some realy good points were made,
im gonna start making a log of there calls,
and a point monty2007 made was about its a criminal offence for creditors causing humiliation, thats just what lowells (hamptons) did when phoned my parents house saying they needed to speak with me cos i owe them a substsantial amount of money,( i owe them £366 thats hardly alot).
thanks again michelle xx

sorry i made a mistake

thank you for replying,your support is worth alot!
last week i recieved a letter from c.a.r.s, they reckon some one was gonna come round my house on thursday,( i presume they ment thursday just gone, i recieved the letter wenseday, there was no date)
no one came.....
i have sent them a cca letter and also sent one to the original debtor vanquis,(over a week ago)
they have both started calling my house, vanquis every now and then, c.a.r.s about 10 times a day. thankfuly i have caller id on my phone,so i dont answer it, the odd occation i did when they asked for me, i made out i wasent in. (fair play they are very rude!)
i notice in the letter c.a.r.s, they say i must call this special number,which is there "field agent department" by phoning these people and talking with them they wont come out.
this number they reckon is a special designated number for these call out people,
its not, its there standard number i have all both letters i have from them.
im beging to realise most of these debt collectors are quite a joke, and im starting to have a laugh at them now. xx
-
thanks for replying mate,
i have today sent the s.a.r letter to vertbaudet and the cca request to c.a.r (vanquis) and a letter to the debt collectors dealing with the vertbaudet catalog, to tell them ive s.a.r verbaudet, becouse i believe the debt to be made up of unfair charges, so there for im in disput with them.
im gonna look more into contacting the councillor, il do it thru that web site, and wait and see if i get a responce,
big thanks for all your support and advice michelle xx
-
hi any advice on this subjest of what and who i need to write to would be very much appriactied, xx
-
thank you everyone for your support,i realy do apprictate it ,
i was reading with interest about others who have had not much luck with trading standards, so im thinking maybe i shall give my local councellor a try,getting his/her name and address would not be a problem,its what i write in the letter i havent a clue what to put, any suggestions i would be very greatful for.
and is it my district councillor or my county councillor i need to contact, i just went on a web site called writetothem.com, and it gave me a list of councillors for my area, but when i clicked on reasons they might be able to help you, disputes with companies etc that sort of thing wasent on there, it was more genaral sort of things
many thanks again michelle xx

thank you all for replying, lowell, had bought the debt of capital one, infact i have just this moment found the letter from lowells which reads....
we hereby give notice of the assignment of the debtdue to us from you in resect of the balance of £363.33 out standing to capital one.
on 12/12/2006 your account was sold to lowell portfolio i ltd
(yea sold it to them for about £50 i bet !!)
-
thank dx100uk for your reply, but what i dont understand is why trading standards told me different?? xx
-
hi, and thanks for replying, its been over 2 months since i have requested it, i have no idea what to do now, trading standards say they wont help me unless it was capital one who was messing around, he told me the debt collectors are not the ones to send the cca letter to in the first place even though they no longer own the debt. xx
-
hi every one, i have sent many of cca letters to dca, some own the debts while others are collecting them for there clients.
i have one imperticular debt collctor giving me a load of grief, they never produced a signed copy of my credit agreement with in the 12 + 30 days, all they sent me was a copy of my application form.
the debt collectors (lowell) own the debt which was originaly a capital one credit card of the amount of £363.
i was this morning on the phone to a man from trading standars, he told me, i should of sent the cca request letter to capital one and not lowell financial.
i thought that becouse lowell owned the debt, it was them who should recieve the cca letter
any comments on this would be very greatfuly appriacted.
many thanks michelle xx

hi thank you for your kind message
it ent good in gloucester at the moment , luckly the floods never got to my house,but it was flooded down the road 4ft high.
electric was off at the week end, and we have no water since sunday! and not likely to be back on till around 2 weeks time!!
people are bulk buying every thing at the shops and them water pumps are always empty! i tryed hand washing some clothes today (ive 3 children, 3yr old a 2 yr old and a 9 month old, its so hard to keep em clean! lol) but the washing dident go to plan, the clothes are still all soapy,i dident want to waste to much water, so ive hung it all on the washing line in hope the rain will wash it off, and guess what the rain has stoped!!! xx
