Cheekiness towards a DCA

[Greenpea]

Thanks, The Godmother for that info. Not Davros that's the one with his eyes shut and has one eye on his forhead. I mean the other one that looks like a blob of skin to put it politly with one eye on the side and speaks with a highish insane type vioce. lol

Sounds like quite a lot of the DCA Threat Monkeys

[sillygirl1]

I confused a DCA monkey the other day - he told me he couldn't give me his surname 'due to data protection'... I politely asked which part of the data protection act was being used for this - he said 'I will ask my supervisor..' which he did and came back and said 'Sorry, its not data protection, its company policy.'

 

The best one though was the one I posted earlier about the guy who promised to send complete statements and evidence of what I had purchased and then a letter turned up three weeks later saying 'passed to OC with no further action recommended'. He seemed so convinced he could get me to pay up.

 

DCA baiting should be come a national sport!

You know why that is dont you???

 

Its so hacked off 'customers' cant find them and threaten them.

 

Thats the truth! (I got told that where I used to work, even now i dont give people on the phone my surname if they ask, even though the likelihood is very small of anything happening.)

You could always ring up and ask for Steve as you want to pay him some money. When 'Steve' comes on the phone say '' You are not the Steve I spoke to yesterday. I have my debit card details available but he told me just to give them to him''

[Mrs_Ryan]

Thats a good idea

Create dissention in the DCA ranks.

[mr.ton]

Have you ever phoned a DCA to make a payment using your card, knowing darn well that the money is not there in your account?

I have

[tiglet]

I wouldn't want to risk it - they may use the details again later!

[mr.ton]

Yeah i understand....but it was an account i never use anyway - so there'd be nothing in it anyway even if they did do that in future

Now who do we complain to about getting it a nation sport for CAG users.

[fuzzybobble]

I had a DCA chasing my Abbey overdraft which is about £700, but all of that + another £1300 is bank charges and interest charged on those charges.

 

I called the DCA and gave them my switch card details stating I wanted to pay in full.

 

Little did the DCA now, but the switch card for the Abbey account that Abbey had closed on me a month before.

 

Abbey still charged me £30 for the failed transaction, even though the account was closed. Bam, off went the complaint to the OFT for them passing on an account in dispute to a DCA, and adding charges to an account they themselves closed down.

 

Still awaiting the results of that one.

Oh, the poor poor wee darlings at the DCAs ... divide/confuse/conquer

Slightly off the thread here all, but I've now eventually finished reading this marathon thread and have to say that it's the funniest thing I've read in years:) Suddenly my battle that's beginning with lowells doesn't seem half as bad, almost fun even.....

 

Can't thank you all individually or tip all your scales, so just be aware that you have certainly all made a difference.

[Fred Bassett]

It sure does. I don't think their family trees have too many branches on them to be honest. A good party game for DCAs would be "I spy with my middle eye".

No - ive made a difference, dont want anyone else taking any credit for this thread

[fuzzybobble]

Amazing you got to the end of the thread. Must have taken you ages.

 

From what peeps tell me, this thread really makes all the difference, and makes them realise that debt and DCA's are nothing to be afraid of. Sometimes they can be a bit of fun too.

 

Watch this space as this weekend, I'm going to try and get some funny dca calls I've made on utube and link them on this thread.

 

Fuzzybobble + Bumble Bees + bad memory + attention defecit disorder + CAG, audio recording, and video editing knowledge = More laughs than Gordon Brown trying to explain the mess the country is in by telling us not to waste food.

 

My message to Gordon Brown.....

 

STOP wasting tax payers money on trying to bail out your friends in the financial industries using the excuse of protecting hard working people. If it wasn't for people like you and Tony B.liar we wouldn't have to be hard working. We'd have a decent income, quality of life, and enough free time to enjoy it.
