credit today awards - top comedian to present

Us 'veterans' on here would note that this is the 3rd year these sorts of comments have been made about these 'awards'. We understand they are just used for the debt industry to pat each other on the backs and say "well done" ...Anyone outside of the DCA business knows they (the awards) mean sweet FA in all reality and there's no reason to waste your time Emailing whichever comedian is performing on any particular year...as if the comedian cares anyway, he's being paid £5k to trot out an hours worth of old jokes to make a few drunk idiots laugh, then so be it.

 

The way to really get at these DCAs is not to moan and bitch about these awards (they'll happen anyway) but to continually pursue, annoy and anger them with CCA and SAR requests and anything else that will cost them money - not forgetting to tell everyone you know about their rights as well as this site. How many of you know someone who DOESN'T have any debts, and how many of those have had their debts passed to one of these DCA's? - Need I say more?

 

Let these morons enjoy their one night of abandon - just make sure you bring them back down to earth when they all return to their desks the following Monday.

Okay point taken – but the more people that email his management company the better – the more people that add bits to his wiki page the better – the more people that comment on facebook the better – don’t get left behind - these are ways of letting people know what really goes on and it’s free.

Freakin 'ell...I'd expect to see The Sugababes doing light the fandango butt naked, or at the very least Rudealot Nearnude the famous ballydangler for that price.

This idiocy is why we should hold our CAG Awards, and highlight the cases which we know about from this site as we give the DCAs their 'awards'. Can I be the host for ours, I am sure the puppets will rise to the occasion, particularly Bert, 15 inch Johnnies dad...

 

Why don't they do the 'decent' thing and announce that due to the bad publicity the awards are cancelled for this year.

 

My top award would be given to Merittfarce for being stupid and ignorant followed by East Ayrshire Trading Standards for failing to bring them to book... (I strongly suspect it is because Meritfarce bring jobs into the area at a tough time).

Credit Today Awards 2009 – Could You Be A Winner?

 

One new prize is being launched – the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Year Award, aimed at the numerous organisations that have placed this concept at the forefront of their business strategy.

-----------------

No winners for this category then:D

[cerberusalert]

exclusive entertainment at your table.

 

I wonder what that involves.....spin the bottle, car keys in the ashtray???

[sportsflash1]

Maybe by some strange coincidence the DCA's who splash out on the "Gold Package" will be the ones who get the most awards.

Lewis Group Shortlisted in Credit Today Awards : News & Press : The Lewis Group

 

Our Litigation Specialist, Nick R**** is another who ‘goes the extra mile.’ Last year he sued 76,000 debtors through the CCBC, achieving a 98% success rate. His knowledge and experience has led him to become one of the most successful legal managers in the debt collection industry.

 

-----------

 

Christ they are proud of this statistic, although I think this is an old announcement, probably old Nick is not doing so well now

[cerberusalert]

I bet his anal sphincter twitches when he's in dark lonely places.

Those 76000 proberbly hadnt found CAG at that point

[flyingdoc]

you seen the price of the tickets???????

[ScarletPimpernel]

I don't doubt that DCAs see the cost of these absurd functions as worthwhile in terms of retaining staff. Far cheaper than paying them a basic salary that would not lead to reliance on commission. Cheaper too than training them properly.

 

As for all this nonsense about 'corporate social responsibility' - it's all part of the web of deceit that the industry spins around itself. The only people who believe it is them, I suspect. Then again, we could look at what corporate social responsibility means - keeping people too stupid to flip burgers off the streets by employing them? Picking up the fag butts around the smoking area? Switching off all the lights at home time? It's an easy catch-all expression that they think will help protect the debt industry from the mounting wave of revulsion at the way they really do business.

Lenny Henry for example pontifcates on behalf of Comic Relief about poverty and demanding that world governments ease the debt burden on third world countries yet he is prepared to take the stage in support of an industry whose sole purpose in life is to make money from debt. Ah well it will soon be Red Nose time again and I know one person who wont be supporting it. __________________

 

As I watched Comic Relief last night all I can remember is above.

 

Sorry Lenny but your a hypocrite!!!

 

HAK

[lickthewallfatboy]

not only is he a hypocrite---he's also a general untalented tosspot

[Alex_DeLarge]

venue and date tut tut i think we should be using this to our advantage and have a peaceful demo outside banners and all just being outside will spoil there nite and give our plight greater coverage

 

I'd be up for that, maybe we could get some green custard.

Who would want to eat a meal prepared by some angry chef who has had a nasty call from a DCA

He 'sued' 76,000 debtors in a year? A 40 hour week works about about 2000 hours a year which is less than 2 minutes per debtor. I wonder how many monkeys he has under him!

[pookeymonkey]

In their tenth anniversary year they will be hosted by silver-tongued comedian Dara O’ Briain, host of Mock the Week, who was dubbed the best ever guest presenter on Have I Got News For You by the Sun newspaper. O’Briain replaces Michael McIntyre whose filming commitments have been extended.

 

Looks like Mr. McIntyre has bottled out of the Credit Today Awards!!!!

Pookey

[atwozee]

Time to email Mr O’Briains management company and post on his Wiki page – every little helps and maybe it does make a difference.

[flyingdoc]

Now its time to petition Dara Obraian to pull out also.

Michael McKintire should be applauded for pulling out.

[cerberusalert]

She added: "With awards for debt counsellor, responsible lender and the newly added corporate social responsibility category, we are focusing more than ever on those companies which have demonstrated over the last year excellent and responsible approaches to their everyday working activities."

 

Looks as if there'll be a 'roll over' this year then.

Good idea, can someone post his details
