The DCA catchphrases thread

A little gem from LINK - which I've been told again this week

 

We are a telephone based company - we don't send letters

 

(that was when I told them I wouldn't speak to them on the telephone and would only deal with them in writing -they do talk a load of **** don't they;))

[JonCris]

Fine then tell them that as soon as you have installed your PC's voice recording device..........together with your webcam (focused on a roll of 'cheap' bog paper) you'll be only to happy to talk to them on the telephone:D

That's 'cos they can't read or write (allegedly) 8)

Cabot sent a letter saying " we have used valid tracing methods to find a customer with your name"

[cerberusalert]

You should write back;

 

"Now try using valid tracing methods to find the right customer with my name".

I think my fave has to be. "We have checked with a well known utility company that you live at this address." This was sent to my grandma's house, which is 2 streets away, but I have never lived there.

 

That's why I read all DCA letters through the envelope using an energy saving bulb placed behind it.I then write the undelivered adress on the back of the envelope onto a label and stick it over the plastic window on the envelope and pop it back in the post.

 

It works too. Even if it is a bit of a dodgy way of getting rid of annoying DCA's. Especially useful if you know it's not your debt, or it's unenforceable and you just can't be bothered writing to yet another DCA to explain why.

[shredder10]

Had this from cabot too by letter addressed to me

 

"please contact us to comfirm your name and address",

I can sell you JB debt recovery for £1 if you want some hassle. What's good for the goose etc:D

I haven't had any communication from ANY DCA for around 3 weeks now and it's rather eerie.

 

As they all probaly knew well before we did that the OFT had woken up, I wonder if they're minding they're P's & Q's.

My Grannybobble actually taught me a few things, but it took time to reailise. She was the one who embarassed the whole family by complaining loudly in shops when they fobbed her off with excuses. But it turns out she was right. And she got a refund every time without a recipt.

 

When I was 12 she bought me a walkman/personal cassette player for my birthday. (ipod to the young peeps on here lol.) from Rumbelows of all places. It worked, but it played the tapes about 30% too fast. So I went with my mum and took it back for repair. A week later they handed it back saying there's nothing wrong with it. My Nan goes in after her listening to one of her Jim Reeves tapes on it, and two adults agreeing that Jim Reeves doesn't really sing soprano.

So, into Rumbelows she goes with all the evidence of attempted repairs, etc. She then forces the manager into listening to my tape, and 3 tracks of her Jim Reeves best of tape (did he really do 3 good ones?). She then walks out of the shop with a brand new and better model of personal stereo, free upgraded headphones, 2 lots of batteries, and a £10 voucher for future use.

 

Grannybobbles may knit shreddies, but you can't beat them. She's 87 now and I still go to the local pub for a pint with her at the weekend.

[sosumi]

My Granny passed away about a year after decimalisation. She'd coped with - and mastered - 'the new money'. I wonder what she'd think about life now?

She was Methodist and strictly Temperance, but I come from a town that was once full of pubs. Old ladies drinking cream stouts... They lived well and long.
