good/helpful DCA's?

[notsoevil]

Hi

 

Obviously a lot of people (myself included in the past) have had experiences with nasty DCA's. However I have noticed that no one has mentioned anyone from any company being helpful etc...

 

Any of you had any experience in this?

My first/current/last one started out very agressive, patronising, threatening, etc for the first few calls, the next person began very polite, simpafetic, but turned once I didn't call him back (when he said!) said he was trying to be professional about it and when I said in that case write to me, he then threatened with the lawyers. Had no more calls (yet!)

I would assume that all debt collectors are helpful when you’re doing exactly what they want i.e. paying them in full. Funny enough they have never been that helpful to me. I wonder why that is? I’m about to start a battle with Cabot and a few others, and I’m looking forward to it.

For goodness sake Notsoevil.... are you still here ? Bless you for trying though...

I thought Moorcroft and Fredricksons were both fantastic for exactly the same reasons, they both wrote a series of really threatening letters and then ran away like little girls when I wrote back, which from my viewpoint was most commendable. and as for Scot call, I thought they were brilliant because they didn't call at all.

Of course from the creditors point of view they were sh*te

I cant believe I am only the DCA that does actually give out helpful advice. I do make sure debt is written off that is clearly unfair (£200 bill for £20 overdraft for example, and other silly bank stories). Also some people are not aware of the benefits they can claim, or extra help, as unless you ask about them generally speaking you wont be put forward for them. Many are not aware of the CCCS, and use companies that charge to help you with your debt.

Some people who have a clear legal case against a bank etc still years later has not done anything about it. If that is case I will say so!

I have never had a complaint against me (though I can not say the same for my colleagues).

Just wondered if I was the only one!!

(by the way I am looking for a different job, one that is an advisory role!)
