1st Credit Have Employed Judge & Priestly * NEW TACTICS*

[Oh Boy!]

Since the double blow upper cut from the OFT, seems Judge & Priestly have been employed to bring a new approach to this game.

 

What do they have up there sleeves?

 

I have already received their 1st letter, and it is not nice believe me.

 

Has anyone else had any dealings?

[fuzzybobble]

Post a scan of the letter. (remove personal details first though)

 

Always ready for the tactics of a DCA about to down with a big bump.

[clemma]

Please, please post a scan.........give's us CAGger's a heads up

[lickthewallfatboy]

I would have thought that "not nice" would be the last thing worst crud would be aiming for,since they're facing a fine of £50,000 and the possible loss of their licence

 

if a CCA is rubbish,no amount of bluster from anyone is going to change that

 

get the letter posted and we'll see what's what

Free Debt Recovery seminar

 

Thursday 19 March. This seminar has been created to provide ideas and advice on how to deal with late payers and customers who are "avoiding your calls".

With so many companies currently struggling to keep afloat, the key to successful collections is making sure you have a solid and efficient recovery process.

This seminar has been created to provide ideas and advice on how to deal with late payers and customers who are “avoiding your calls”.

Topics on the agenda will include:

 

• Successful debt recovery, Can you afford not to?
  
• How to collect debts cost effectively
  
• How to collect debts and pass the cost to the debtor
  

This seminar has been organised by A4G Accountants and Judge & Priestley Solicitors. It is a breakfast seminar starting at 7.45am and finishing at 9am, with questions afterwards.

The seminar will take place at the A4G offices which are located at Kings Lodge, London Road, West Kingsdown, Sevenoaks, Kent TN15 6AR

Nice, it's on my birthday!

 

anyone tempoted to go along

 

 

@op, please post the letter, it will be interesting to see what they are saying now!

[fuzzybobble]

How much are they charging for this 75 mins of fantasy then?

 

No way will it be free. They'll be trying to sell you something. IE we can collect those 13% 2 year non payers by lots of empty theats and hoping they don't know what a CCA is.

I have already received their 1st letter, and it is not nice believe me.

 

I could be wrong here, but I thought they had been taken on in an advisory capacity to assist 1st Cretins to stay within the law and the industry guidelines.

It's more to comply with the recent slap from OFT than anything else, and give the impression they are cleaning up their act.

Judge and Priestley are to assist 1st Cretins with their reporting to OFT and give them a façade of respectability.

 

If you have had a nasty letter directly from them, it would be very interesting to see.

Have they not heard of the OFT/trading standards & the police?

Aparently, it's free

 

I didn't think that Debt collectors & their pet solicitors had that word in their vocabulary

 

 

I love the way they are called "Judge & Priestly", two 'respected' positions in a comunity

 

 

***Helios waves at the guests***

[fuzzybobble]

I think we should have a "What can we report 1st Credit to the OFT for next?" Thread.

Then count the number of guests viewing it.

I got a letter the other week from LCS threatening on 1st crud's behalf,

Go on FB...start the thread, you know you want to

[rnscotch]

Is anyone going to post said letter... ??

[fuzzybobble]

I got a letter the other week from LCS threatening on 1st crud's behalf,

 

That's one thing I have never managed to figure out. Why does a DCA get another DCA to do it's dirty work? I can understand they sell unenforceable stuff to each other, but why do they get one DCA to collect on behalf of another?

 

Is there some kind of tax dodge operating?

 

It must eat into the profits if you have to pay a percentage getting a company to do the job your own company does anyway.

[mr.ton]

If i can get enough members on here to join my plan...im thinking of having a "report 1st Credit to the OFT" day - were we just bombard the OFT with loads of complaints about 1st Crud in a specific day

[lickthewallfatboy]

I'm up for that one!! LOL

[Werner M]

....Count on me ,MR.TON and FB.( good Idea)

[babybear39]

Subscribing...Count me in too

I'll let you do the honours Mr.Ton. Your threads always last longer than most on here.

[sillygirl1]

Can I join in - I am sure I can help out here, technology ready to roll!!!

LCS are some kind of solicitor, probably sat in the same office though:)

[Having_A_Knightmare]

IMHO solicitors are only interested in the people who are scared when they see Solicitor on the letter head.

 

Just fight them all the way and they will back off... oh and report them to the SRA.

 

HAK

LCS are 1st crud's pseudo legal department, the next desk to the pre-court division I beleive
