Wescot chasing digibill???

[clemma]

Don't know what to do about this one. Again it is in OH's name and is only for £36. He denies all knowledge (since I found out what Digibill is ), but on investigation, the subscription was taken out while we were abroad....I think the ex-lodger may have signed up to something he shouldn't have done. What can be done? Ex-lodger say's it's not him as well.

 

Is it worth just paying Wescot to get rid of them?

[clemma]

Shameless bump

 

This one is frazzling my brain

[mr.ton]

Oh come on now...your meant to be a cagger arent you?

 

Tell em to get lost & go spend the £36 on some shopping or whatever

[clemma]

Should know better really. A prove it letter will wing its way to Wescot tomorrow.....

 

I am still fairly new to this part of CAG

If its the type of channels i asume that means:oops: it could be worse, i know someone who had to put a bill like this on there Banckruptcy petition, she was dreading the official reciever asking her to explain what it was:eek:

 

(Oh By the way it was her OH who used her CC to sign up, just in case you where wondering:D)

[clemma]

It is the type of channels you think No CC details given, but they did try and take £36 from my account....not on my shift, I don't think so!! DD was cancelled, phone calls made blah, blah.

 

The thing is, it was done through the digibox by pressing red(so they say) and they have our account details.....

 

I take it the prove it letter is the way to go then?

[flyingdoc]

I sometimes wonder whether these companies do this specifically because they think people will be too ashamed to argue.

 

I know of a guy who started a video [problem] and it ran like this.

 

They advertised in the local press in the "classifieds" personal XXX videos - £500 worth of tapes for only £25, limited supply first come first served.

 

There was a limited supply.....1

 

Several hundred people would apply and the 1 copy sent out (he gets a bargain) the rest of the customers, after a period of time get cheques to refund their money - the cheques are clearly marked "XXX BEASTIALITY & PORNOGRAPHY COMPANY XXX" - consequently most of the people are too ashamed to bank them . hence most of the refunds never get banked.

 

he made a lot of money out of that.....

[clemma]

Well, it's a good job I'm shameless then . I, personally, wouldn't give a hoot what it said on the cheque, so long as it's MY money

[clemma]

Me neither - I cashed the cheque......erm I mean I would have cashed the cheque

 

:eek:

[clemma]

What's the channel number

 

666

[clemma]

Has anyone got a link to the prove it letter??

[clemma]

NVM - is this the one I need

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Reference no: 00000000000

 

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

I am/we are familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I/we would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my/our liability for the debt in question.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Clemma's stupid OH

Well thats just added a couple of intresting words to find CAG under in a google search, anyone searching for either of those wont be expecting a link to a site like this:p lets just hope they debt problems as well:D

[clemma]

pmsl blind-as-a-bat :lol:

[clemma]

Had a nice letter of Wescot today.....blah. Their usual "we are looking in to this matter", "we will not contact you" blah, blah.

 

All good news though

[clemma]

After Wescot's letter the other day, they have now sent me a pretty one that is all pink and red. They MAY lodge a claim with Hull County Court, charging me £80, and it is my final notice. Should I write some sort of "this account is in dispute" letter. If so, has anyone got a copy of which letter I should send?

[clemma]

Well, got a letter back from Wescot today saying that they are sending the file back to the OC No doubt some other lowlife will come along soon to try and demand the money At least it only took one letter to get rid of Wescot though.

[blind-as-a-bat]

they obviously did not fancy explaining to a judge what digibill was either:rolleyes::lol:
