Yes the orig company did want their pound of flesh and we,d agreed on it ( verbal only ), Ive nearly paid back all the original debt of £65.00 . so all theyre after now is their cut , But if this change of collector gives me some wiggle room I,m gonna go for it.

check my earlier post about how to deal with these bullies , follow - posts by phukem hall

No they never chased it up or got back in touch , cant promise this,ll be the case with larger ammounts tho` Mine just probably wasnt worth the fight for them . Never refuse to pay but just Drag your feet - Make em work for it - Slow and steady .

Hi , I owed a company some outstanding money £65.00 and was happily paying it back to a recovery company at a tenner a month - But now a new debt recovery compay has took over the old debt recovery company , 1/ Is this Legal ?? 2/ Do my original agreements automatically stand with the new debt recovery company ???? 3/ I have made no agreements either verbal or written with the new company ?? 4 / where do I stand.????

Its been eight weeks since Ive heard from I.J. I think theyve given up trying , My E-Bay account is running fine and Ive made over twenty more transactions both sales and buys on it . It really P*SSES me off that a company can be so rude, nasty, unhelpfull , greedy and and at the same time totally in the wrong. If anyone out there falls foul like I did just drag your feet - write second class letters - dont give your details to any of their cold callers , just say CRIME WATCH U.K. told you to never give your details to anyone over the phone and that they,ll have to write , (but dont give em your postal address let them find that out themselves ) always promise to pay once they can provide proof that you owe THEM money , which they cant because youve already settled up with E-Bay - Be pedantic and cut off any dealings and make them start all over again if they so much as spell your name wrong - If everyone theyre chasing for cash just drags it out and fouls up their system it makes their life a lot harder. Just dont roll over and pay-em without fighting / questioning it - ask for documents letters agreements everything. This all started because some cheeky call centre employee of theirs made me feel threatened " were going to send the collection boys round " in my own home , when I owed nowt . I may write them a letter tomorrow asking for terms 50 p a month to pay off my debt , Ha Ha. Good luck INTRIUM JUSTICIA = PAPER TIGER

Intrim justica have finally written in reply to my hand written note of three weeks ago , they`ve given details of the debt and who they where acting for (E-Bay) as requested , I will now write back ( maybee next week or the week after ) giving details of why I dont believe they can legally request the money £8.00 when I had already paid E-Bay and now have proof of that . Theyve still got my name wrong - but I,ll keeep that in my pocket for now - and will demand a full description from the debt agencys code of practice outlining why they think they are entitled to the £8 charge . should clog up their workings for an hour ortwo.

Hi the Ebay thing has been paid up 3 weeks now , weve even bought concert tickets and BEEN to the concert so its all working fine , MY orig post was more a rant about I.J ,s bullying and threatening overtones - I bet theres loads out there who just roll over and pay up , the other thing is E-bays complaints / contact system is a list of typed up responses , that take you through the system before you get any personal info dealt with ,so it could take time , BUT SUPRISE SUPRISE theyre really quick to deal with it if it means them getting back to making money ! but drag their feet when it comes down to calling off their dogs. funny that ! be strong .......united we stand .............

LONDONDELHI...:D:D:D:D:D:D made me laugh my tea down my nose

Hi , just joined the forum , due to a rather nasty little company called INTRUM JUSTITIA , who where starting to put the willies up me a bit with their impolite bullying tactics , but now I,ve read about one or two other people on here standing up to them I feel a lot better and will stand up for myself and support others who are upset . Truth is I owe nothing Ive paid all my outstanding debts direct to the original company = E-Bay. Sadly its all over twenty quid E-Bay charges , but E-Bay have been paid and theres nothing outstanding and I,m trading on line with them regularly ??? But this hasnt filtered through to INTRUM JUSTITIA yet . I did write them a long polite letter explaining all this , but that has been rewarded with bullying threatening calls and I for one wont stand for it...... So begins a long drawn out war of attrition starting with .... 1/ First off the bullying calls , I have put a block on their number and wrote to the company requesting all future contact must be by letter. 2/ Visited thier website as a prospective customer and it turns out their very least charge to customers is 22.50p which is more than the debt they want , so its not in the customers intrest to persue it. 3/ they make their money not only from us but from the company they represent so the more letters and calls they make to to harrass you and me - the more they can charge thier customer . So dont take it personally theres probably some poor scouse lass in a pokey call centre with a hundred people to call and threaten. 4/ Theyv`e spelled my name wrong and have got the first line of my adress incorect -So I DONT THINK ! legally any charges are actually directed corectly at me ??? these issues will be dealt with , by snail mail , one at a time over a long period before we tackle the debt itself . 5/ We are bombarded with advice off the telly on a daily basis about the dangers of giving out personal details over the phone or on line etc , so I can stretch it out for another few months while hiding behind the whole identity theft fear thing. Wonder if they,ll get sick before I do. ??? twenty quid ? I,m bored already.
