Instant Silver

[babybear39]

Link were almost certainly one of the '13' previously warned by the OFT regarding their conduct.

 

As sanctions have been now been placed on 1st Credit & Mac Hall, (companies who were warned but ignored the warnings), they could be using this name in the hope that nobody 'joins up the dots'.

Makes you wonder how dim the DCAs and the OFT really are

ODC,

 

Why would you want them to answer the phone?

Have just received a letter from Instantsilver, regarding a 'debt' previously handled by Link... who failed to produce a CCA of any kind...

 

Do they really think we're stupid?

(Rhetorical question )

Hi folks

 

Been reading this post with great interest.

 

We have had Link on our back for sometime now,off and on we hadn't heard from them formonths then all of a sudden they popped up from hell again.

 

I CCA'd them last month for two Loan accounts in the process we started to get letters from another company called Instant Silver for one of these loans.

 

However one of the CCA they sent does not match the account number that we have and has appeared to have been hand written on this CCA instead of typed/computerised like the rest of it of the detailson the CCA.

 

On the other we had just realised that they had charged us PPI which with the kind help of pompeyfaith on here we are in the process of claiming back from GE Money. (Well trying to still haven't had any response to letter)

 

ANyway to get to the point we wrote to Link explaining that Instant SIlver is sending out illegal threatening letters to us due to different agreement numbers and other account in default due to unlawful PPI and that we are aware that Instant SIlver and Link are connected.

 

Today we received a letter from link stating :Quote from letter:

"Instant Silver are not part of their company but recovery agrents acting on our behalf and as such until we receive payment from

you in respect of both accounts normal collection activity will continue with Instant SIlver".

 

I have tried to trace these companies through companies house but not had much luck until I found this on CAG can anybody advise me what to do next.

Cheers

You need to write back to them (recorded) outlining your dispute, and explaining that you are awaiting resolution of this....and under the OFT's guidelines they should no tbe contacting you whilst the debt/s are in dispute...

Today we received a letter from link stating :Quote from letter:

"Instant Silver are not part of their company but recovery agrents acting on our behalf and as such until we receive payment from

you in respect of both accounts normal collection activity will continue with Instant SIlver".

 

 

Link are lying.

 

Why not write back to them:

 

Dear Cretins

 

Thank you for your letter of (date), in which you state that Instantsilver are not part of your company.

 

I confess to being somewhat puzzled, since Link's entry in the OFT Consumer Credit Licence database shows Instantsilver to be a trading name of Link Financial Ltd. No other company called Instant Silver has a Consumer Credit Licence. If the statement in your letter were true, then Instantsilver would be undertaking licenceable activity without a licence, which is a criminal offence.

 

If, however, the statement is untrue, as appears to be the case, you are clearly trying to communicate with me in a misleading way, contrary to the OFT Guidance on Debt Collection.

 

I require you to clarify the situation, and will not enter into any further correspondence until you have done so.
