DCA's on behalf of...errrr DCA's!

[mr.ton]

Anyone noticed this rather bizzare habbit that goes on alot in the industry of DCA's stating that they are acting/collecting on behalf of another DCA?

It really is totally barmy the more you think about it

Whats so wrong with the original DCA that they feel they are unable to act or collect?

What makes them think that the DCA they ask to act/collect for them will do a better job than the original lot?

[babybear39]

It's just BS to make themselves look better in that they have a client

[cerberusalert]

They swap a/cs amongst themselves every few weeks in the vain hope that different tactics will harass people into paying them.

The one I have seen a fair bit, is when the in house DCA, (after trying to make out they are a DCA for some time), threatens to pass it on to a DCA.:confused:

 

Never forget however, what it like felt when the DCA's 1st started on you.

That's what it's all about.

I guess you will get one ****** DCA who will just send threatograms and when that don't work send it on to scumbag2 DCA a phone threat specialist, that don't work send it on to scumbag3 DCA to send out the geriatric loser who calls at your doorstep for payment and then on to scumbag4 DCA who use the fake court claim tactic, and so it goes on...

Isn't it something like the law of diminishing returns? The more DCAs that try to get payment the less likely they are to succeed. If the OC had a good case and valid paperwork surely they would have chased it. Its all a bit like Chinese whispers. Personally when the OC threatens me with a DCA, I feel a sense of relief in the knowledge that I am beginning to win, by the time it has gone to 2 or more DCAs, I am on the final straight and winning

They remind me of the story about the mythical oozlum bird!

My wife received one yesterday.

Credit resource solutions Ltd collecting for Lowells financial.

I've had a couple of these from Equidebt in the last few weeks, with another DCA given as the OC. It's coincided with all my old debts going Stat Barred, and I suspect they are trying to disguise what they are.

They're hoping you're stoopid like them and have'nt noticed yet

[mr.ton]

It does make you wonder why a DCA feels the need to use another DCA to collect on behalf of them?

I just wonder what the set up is a senario like this?

If for example Cabot managed to collect on behalf of Lowell...do they split what ever they receive between each other or something?

[babybear39]

They get a ten pence tip and a packet of crisps lol

I suspect its all a Tax Con.

[babybear39]

It is and it looks like the "squeaky clean" OCs get the biggest slice of that

[t-star]

i've had one of these ones

 

Intrum justicia collecting on behalf of Intrum Justicia Financial investments. After a lot of digging around they couldnt even find out what it was for....

Wish all DCAs were as incompetant as IJ

I suspect its all a Tax Con.

I suspect its all a Tax Con.

 

Indeed.

 

The Lowell, Mac Hall = Red routine.

 

Lowell buy the debt for Xp in the pound. Send out a few letters and if it looks like they are going to struggle, pass/sell it on at a loss to the guy over the desk, Mac Hall. This is now a tax loss and can be written off. Mac Hell try the same thing. When you take them to task over it they quickly sell it on, again at a loss to the next desk down the line, Red.

 

Same debt, same office, and the way things are these days, probably the same computer !!
