New Mass Junk Mailing by MacHall

[ODC]

Ok hands up everyone who received a silly begging letter from our good buddies in Kilmarnock today.

 

 

I did and I can honestly say that I havent a baldy notion as to what they are rabbitting on about. I am at present undecided as to which course of action to take.

 

1. Ignore them

 

2. CCA them

 

3, Send the prove it letter

 

4. Report them under the new CPUTR 2008

 

I will see what advice my fellow CAGGERS come up with.

Return it with a copy of this

Why not scan the letter in so we can see the latest masterpiece from these sweaty losers?

[ODC]

Its just the usual balderdash with the usual demand for payment before noon two days hence. Like Im just going to send them a few grand as a result of the mass mailed junk letter which Im 99.999 % sure is F all to doo with me anyways.

[Coasters]

Well I got one today as well.

 

Bless their little cotton socks, they admit and acknowlege the debt is SB but then go on to ask for payment.

 

 

 

And 'ask' they can. (Until I quote AOJ act)

I assume you've sent the SB letter?

It strikes me that MH's business model is closely related to the well-known '419 letter' scheme so beloved of faux lawyers and businessmen in Lagos.

Send them the money ODC...you know you have to

I sent it to RED who passed the debt on to MuckHall.

 

I then passed them on to the FOS, FSA, ICO and Trading Standards.

I wont even send these clowns the £1 for a CCA as they would probably make 99p profit on what they purchased the alleged debt for

Send MH a copy of your letter to red with an S.10 notice:

 

STATUTORY NOTICE UNDER S10 DATA PROTECTION ACT 1998

This Notice is given on the grounds that the processing or continued processing by you of the said data will be likely to affect my credit rating and my reputation and cause substantial damage and/or substantial distress to me and my family members in addition to that which may already have been caused and that as the processing of the said data in the way referred to in this notice would violate the first, fourth and sixth principles of The Data Protection Act 1998 to do so would be unwarranted.

I never deal with them. As I said in my previous post I just went straight to the authorities. The letter I got today was their response admitting I was right and they were useless cretins (in so many words).

 

I would report them if you are 99% sure, they will then have to come back to you with proof anyway and it gets them a nice fine as well.

 

Only problem is if they are fishing they might consider you caught if you respond at all.

Considering me caught and actually catching me are two different things;)

 

I think I will file them under @Ignore' for the moments and see what threats the come up with.

[Coasters]

babybear many thanks for this.

 

As your answer deals with data I would appreciate If you could take a look at

This is the problem I am having with MuckHall. Aside the debt being SB I am peeved off with the searches on my account which is how they 'traced me'.

 

This is actually what I am fighting, not the debt itself which is dead now as far as I am concerned.

I just reported them for chasing a debt in dispute and tried to start thier complaints procedure, they ignored this so rang FOS who actually wrote to them for once and suddenly case closed back to first credit who also got reported for the same thing and they wrote closing thier file too!

Also you could look at it this way they might just have helped the post office stay afloat for a few more days:D
