Hi....sorry I haven't had the opportunity of logging on since my last plea so also haven't had the chance to say thank you to sfox for your kind response and information shared. Oh boy..it appears very much as thought these parasites (smother all) are going to go to the enth degree using whatever tactics ethical or not to obtain information!!! Latest update......text messages are still turning up with the addition of a call that was unfortunately answered. ...not sure how they managed to obtain the mobile number because whilst the account is in my name the phone now belongs to an Ex who's exceedingly angry with both SC and myself for invasion of privacy as he can't & won't change the number as it would cause far too many other problems for them!! .... the caller asked for me by name and as it wasn't me that answered, proceeded to ask questions on whether he knew me and how. He in turn asked the caller why were they contacting him and who had given them his mobile number as a contact number for me - the caller responded saying "it had been supplied by me!"; I believe it was at this point where he became angry responding with a very curt "I don't think so!!" that they put the phone down on him! We have both contacted the network provider and explained the situation. They in turn have logged all relevant information such as numbers used by SC to date; text dates; call dates etc., in order to complete records in respect of a harassment/nuisance calls log which will be forwarded to their internal investigations team and subsequently to the Police. Perhaps I should have sent that "non liability" letter as was suggested previously......but not sure even that will stop these leaches???

:roll:Understand - well at least - think I do. In essence and reality, I'm looking at it purely from a personal perspective whilst you are looking at it from a global overview - two completely different angles and you are right about the publicity ...As mentioned before, your harsh attitude from my angle helps exacerbate my embarrassment/shame and thus in turn as you say, playing right into their hands...etc., etc Is it so, so obvious that I'm totally novice to this type of site/forum ?? Yep! time for the

Bless you for your response (renegadeimp) I do understand as well as appreciate that DX may have his unique direct style however this approach must be adapted to each individual... he must also learn, take on board and appreciate not everyone is the same or has the same "hard nosed" persona but in retrospect he cannot help his style just as much as I cannot help being a more empathetic, sensitive type of person (Yep! femaie!! ) thank you again x:roll:

Actually and to put the record straight: sad to say... I certainly was far from laughing at your response.. quite the reverse... Also and in addition, bar your curt and what I personally feel is inappropriate and totally, whether meant or not, insensitive response, - I foolishly believed this site was formed to help people who find themselves in a situ, not to judge, chastise or monitor the number of postings that I or anyone else for that matter has made etc., etc., ....I only thank God your response was not the first I received :-x:-x ...then again, in every basket of apples there is always bound to be one a little off and not as good as the others!!! Plus - to add insult.... I have made a donation to the site for my service... :-x:-x

Wow! I cannot believe this last response is from a "so-called member of the site team!!" Jesus....what a complete and utter downturn/disappointment to get this form of response!

Hi thanks - its now scotcall giving me grief - sending messages on my mobile :-(

So sorry gals/guys but I've found the last couple of messages confusing as I am not asking for help or diagnosis on whether I should be visiting my doctor, only for help in batting of these wretched people who are making me feel ill every time something either comes through my letter box and now... my own private mobile!!!!! I am truly so grateful for all the help and suggestions thus far and (Yes SP - I think you are/were possibly right in your advice about the non-l letter), but as mentioned - feel a little bit loathed to start any such dialogue with anyone (bar here - ) having fought against doing so for the last seven months....

Having received two messages from them I've just phoned my network provider who have now logged both the mobile and landline numbers as nuisance/harassment calls ........ Having ignored without any form response to date I feel loathed to enter into any form of dialogue with them at this late stage in the process HELP??

HELP!!! HELP!!! I'm at a loss as what to do now??? I go to church on a Monday night so always turn off my phone and had forgotten to turn it back on....However, just this minute turned on to be greeted with a text message from scottcall saying "this an important message my regarding my account and that I need to call them urgently to discuss!!!. Obviously in connection with the above???? My telephone account is a private number so they must have used unscrupulous methods to have obtained it as I withhold ALL numbers at source so I consider this to be a GROSS invasion of my privacy and harassment...what do I do next? This is now making me so ill it's affecting my health big time! Thanks again

:!:Never the less and again - thanks for everything

Wow....from this one very big error of judgement I've truly found such a flock of earth angels...who have certainly helped me; given me such valued support and guidance who will continue battling on to help others...I really cant stop thanking you enough.

Thanks - I tend to agree but I still question my own thought process as to what IS right

hey guys...thanks again for such rapid responses in which I failed miserably to read until just a moment ago - forgot to charge my laptop! Oops!! I'm now in such a quandary as to whether, having ignored all correspondence to date, I should now send the "no debt - no liability letter" as I fear a gush of letters and back and forth dialogue situ!! H E L P ??

Hi - sorry only just logged on. Please take the time to read all of my questions and responses received as the team and individuals who have taken their valuable time to respond to me on this forum have been such a rock to me, without them well who knows.... From the advice given to me, I've ignored and not responded once to their letters......and as you can see from my last posting, it hasn't ended yet! I received another letter just the other day albeit from another company which I also plan to totally ignore...yep! do nothing - totally nada!! Like you, I also did something stupid, out of character and still cannot answer why; was and still am, totally ashamed of myself... I think they very much play on this last element so when you first receive the letters you enter into a sheer panic mode; don't really take on board the wording contained within. Being guilty of those same panic moments, upset etc., turning to this wonderful support mechanism (Can't praise them enough); when you eventually calm down and re read the letter(s) you realise they - RLP - contradict themselves in so many ways. Again, with the latest letter from "scotcall" I now wonder if the two companies are connected. Why? The first line of this letter "Our clients have instructed us to collect payment.........as you have failed to respond etc., etc.," followed by the second paragraph "should they not hear from me with payment within 7 days - then our client may consider legal action" ??? Why then has this issue been sent to "scotcall" only for it to be returned to the client in order for them (RLP) to start legal proceedings should I not respond - why bother to use the middle man/option? So again, based on advice from here..... I shall ignore! Plus have had the thought....as none of the letters have been sent "recorded" how can they prove that you have received them - which looking at the flip side, should you make any form of response to any letter received - they could potentially use this as their "proof of delivery" ?? This will seem very weird coming from me but "stay strong & good luck!"

:-Dthanks again

Ever indebted to you both for your latest response - not sure what I should do or best course of action ; send a letter as suggested by renegadiemp or just continue ignoring?? Sorry for my utter stupidity! (

Please, please, once again I ask all of you wonderful individuals who have helped me, a complete stranger, have guided, advised and helped me get to a point whereby I stupidly thought I could put my one "inexcusable, shameful and totally out of character moment" to rest....I took the advise to ignore/not respond to any of the previous letters/threats received and followed to the point whereby I finally started to relax and thought finally....but I was oh so wrong! In this morning post I've received yet another letter only this time from a company named "scotcall" - informing me that as I have not responded/paid I have 7 days to pay them "scottcall". If payment is not received within that timeframe my case may go to court and be subject to not only the fine but all costs incurred as well, plus it could also affect me in other ways!!!! As this letter looks so very officious - it has the logos of both IIP and CSA on the bottom, its truly driving me into the depths of despair! I know I only have myself to blame as it was my own stupidity that got me into this situation but fear and shame for this one lapse that my thoughts have started to become so black and irrational... Again, please, please can anyone help and advise me what/where/to whom should I go????

:whoo:Again, I can't thank you all enough for your reassurance and support given to me... I cannot praise you enough...

Point Noted... Yet again....thank you all who have taken the time to respond, truly and very much appreciated.

Just a thought. If it does go before a Judge can one counter sue for:- a. theft by their security, b. bullying, c. intimidation, d. harassment etc., etc...

Oops! Just noticed having slated their grammar I've made a boob in trying to write something quick...my apologies for my stupidity! "Their evidence"

Hi there thank you so much for your response... whilst they contradict themselves in every letter they've sent and should they have sight of the internet and are able to use the information contained therein...how can they prove who's posted it if it's a communal computer etc.....whilst I appear very logical in most of my thought process on occasion they really do fail me?? Also, if they feel a Judge would be interested in information they RLP deem to be incriminating, why don't they use this for there evidence and information purpose???? HELP PLEASE?????

Hi again...was hoping that I would never have to turn to this particular vein but low and behold after a long period of silence yet another letter arrived. Unfortunately I'm not able to scan as my scanner isn't currently working so have typed it out...and no the errors in grammar are not mine.. I've typed it out verbatim, so again my worries arise and headache starts again!!! PLEASE, PLEASE HELP??? Dear........... Price Swap............. We refer to the above matter and note that you still failed to respond. We also note that you have published your case on the internet. As we have not heard from you, and this matter therefore remains undisputed, the file is now being prepared to send to one of our agents which specialises in debt recovery, and undisputed claims for damages. Contrary to what you may be advised on the internet, this is perfectly lawful and the OFT is aware of this procedure. You have been given ample opportunity to dispute the claim, but you have chosen not to. We have been made aware of this misinformation you are advised such as reporting our agents to the OFT. The files passed to such agents are not consumer files. The OFT has no remit regarding such work. The OFT's remit is to regulate the regulated activities undertaken by such agents. This civil claim does not come under such regulation. In a letter from the OFT on 6th August 2010 the OFT wrote "Our analysis had led us to concur with RLP's decision that it does notrequire a consumer credit licence for the activities it carries out on behalf of retailers." Similarly, we have seen the misinformation you were advised regarding instalment plans. We have simply advised that our client may be willing to allow you to settle the claim by way of instalments. This does not a mount to a consumer contract. Such permission does not fall within the remit of the OFT. Again, the OFT is aware that our clients offer this to Defendants. Indeed, if a County Court Judgment were obtained, or a Consent Order, it quite regular for the Court to approve or order settlement of damages by way of instalments. It is noted that you do not seek to publish any defence to your actions either. You have however alluded to circumstances which you believe may have affected you. Such circumstances might be relevant to the core principles which we have agreed with the Association of Chief Police Officers, and our client's own ethical principles. We are sure you will appreciate however that we cannot take into account unless you provide us with details and evidence. You will also appreciate that we cannot take as fact, something which is posted on an anonymous blog. We must take steps to ensure that information we hold is accurate, and the internet is clearly not an accurate source for information. If you are unsure how to respond, and you have still not sought legal advice, may we suggest that you visit our website and look at the Guide to Agencies. That may assist you should you wish to make representation in mitigation of your actions. We have repeatedly urged to seek some proper legal advice. You have been given every opportunity to address your wrong doing. Regrettably, if we do not hear from you the file is going to be passed on to our recovery agent. If this matter is not settled, we will be recommending that the claim be issued in the County Court, which will incur additional Court fees, legal costs and interest. We also have to advise you that should a claim be issued, your publications will be placed before the Judge. We hope that this matter can now be resolved. The file will be placed on hold for a further 21 days, for you to seek some proper advice, consider your position, and either settle the matter, or advise us any mitigating factors which you have alluded to publicly. Yours sincerely Legal Department Retail Loss Prevention Limited

Hi there Honeybee13, sorry I've only just picked this up........if honest, whilst reassured so much by the lovely, kind people who've truly helped me, when yet another letter turns up on the door step I tend to creep back to square one!!! Maybe part of that is the guilt pangs due to how very ashamed I feel...

Wow! ..what debt and grattitude I owe all that have responded and helped me on here! Far in excess of what I deserve...Eveyone of you in my opinion are :angel:in disguise! From the bottom of my heart; I really and truly cannot thank you enough!
