[pompeyfaith]

cybermoth yes it was on dragons den on wednesday

[silverfox1961]

ooh look 45 guests.

 

Listen, if any of you guests are DCA's, why not sign up and defend your selves or is what is being said here too near the truth

[mattyd1979]

If you still don't believe read this:

 

Grandmother 'terrorised' to death after bank wrongly hounded her for £16,000 | Mail Online

 

Aye, that's a pretty shocking story and she must have been through hell. Luckily there aren't too many similar stories out there where people have died.

 

Is it fair to say that the harder it becomes to collect debts, the more dirty tricks these rogues have to come up with?

Re Mortimer Clarke Sols. / Marlin we complained to SRA in April and have just received a reply last week, that the are seriously going to investigate :

 

Mr. Richard Edmund Mathias Of Mortimer Clarke Solicitors Limited

 

No mention of Mr Mathias on the programme.... where was he hiding?

[babybear39]

You look perfect, BB:D

 

Quite a few guests I see

 

Thanks CB How's you?

 

*BB sips her exquisite wine and waits for the deluge of 'oh but you can't do thats' *

 

Well, see, I can because I'm not in debt

Message to "Mark"

 

What goes around comes around.

 

simples.

 

:D:lol:

 

Lets hope so eh?

 

I don't honestly think I could watch that programme again. It made me sick to my stomach. The poor man with lung cancer being hounded by the Halifax...too sad.

As for Moronic Mark from Marlin and his constant gutter hand gestures... too much for me.. I'm afraid, once is enough. I just hope that arrogant SOB rots in hell.

 

Night all.

 

Spam.

[pompeyfaith]

The more ppl that record and sent to the OFT the better give them the picture of what really is happening out there.

I've done it and I don't need to defend myself because I do an honest job and help people out wherever I can. I found the programme pretty painful to watch tbh.

As I asked earlier. That part about forcing bankruptcy was unclear. First they say they are unlikely to do it. Then it was made to appear that they would push for it in a meeting.

 

So how likely are forced bankruptcies and under what circumstances?

 

No, they were saying they were going to push the THREAT of bankruptcy

 

there are so many factors involved , not least of which is that they would have to bear the iniiial costs and could well get sod all out of it after other secured creditors

 

If you are disputing the debt they wont even get off first base anyway

Yup Lilly you like i do because that is what we have to do with our money these days.

[scared001]

just spent a fair bit of time reading these messages, some were very entertaining and others not ie the grandmother story. i did actually report credit solutions to trading standards last week, i really dont know how seriously they took it but we shall see.

 

im still having dramas with crapital one so will scan those letters up soon, have been off work with not-swine-flu but something very very similiar!!

 

well done to all the people on here!!!

[stardust_john]

I think I read somewhere it cost a company about 1500.00 to make someone bankrupt. Yet its 500.00 if you do it personally. They would need to know they were going to get some back to warrant it. So Ive finally learnt they will leave me alone as I have diddly squat.

spelling again

[scared001]

by the way..bb....how comes youre not in debt? share your secret please!!

[sportsflash1]

I remember Noel Edmunds used to do a misheard lyrics spot on his radio one show - Instead of Billy Ocean singing "When the going gets tough" it sounded like "YOU CAN GO AND GET STUFFED" quite appropriate really:lol::lol:

 

P.S Having fun now Mark?

[silverfox1961]

I've done it and I don't need to defend myself because I do an honest job and help people out wherever I can. I found the programme pretty painful to watch tbh.

 

 

I believe in giving people a fair crack of the whip but do you follow the same practices as shown tonight,

I really do hope you never find yourself in the position I and others have found themselves in. Being on the "wrong" end of these phone calls is distressing and if you have mental health issues (as I did) "dark thoughts" come easily to mind

[citizenB]

I'm going to speak to the SRA tomorrow - and explore a complaint against Mortimer Clarke - it appears to me that their professional independence may be compromised.

 

I'd suggest that we all do the same thing

 

This is a good idea.

 

LTSB were also targetted the same as Marlin, but they were pretending to be Sechiari Clark n Mitchell.

[fedupwithdebt2009]

Hee hee hee nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pmhcfc]

I got a bit bored by the end of it all - all old news in relation to how they collect...but I guess I see the merits in making the prog.

 

Don't understand why they (chan 4) didn't explain that once a debt is statute barred it stays that way - even if a payment is made after 6 years...It can't be UN statute barred...they didn't make that clear at all.

[babybear39]

I think I read somewhere it cost a company about 1500.00 to make someone bankrupt. Yet its 500.00 if you do it persoanally. They would need to know they were going to get some back to warrant it.

 

As I mentioned earlier, forced BR is not common. Please don't get anxious anyone as we don't know the circs of that couple tonight.

Matty1979 ....

 

Look, be realictic. We have reached a point of critical mass not just here but globally, I feel. To have such a ****** ( really trying to resist the urge to say something far stronger here ) shown in his full unsympathetic, nastiest and wilfully misleading best, you need to remind yourself of the fact that in other part of the world, this guy would be stoned to death for such terrible acts/misdeeds inflicted on others. Too many people in this country alone are suffering now and it's going to get worse. I would not be too far off in saying that there will eventually be such a backlash against your highly immoral and unprincipled industry that with the threat of near anarchy on the horizon, the government will suddenly lean very firmly on the OFT to do what it should already have done with many of your ilk ... and then some.

Don't try to defend the morally indefensible - you only make yourself look a little silly !

No, I don;t wish death on this crappy human called 'Mark', but don;t ever, ever expect me to try and just accept that his doing his job ?! Get real !!

Mark: 'It pays for us to take enforcement'

 

1. You mean attempt to enforce

2. You are just an employee, stop with your self-importance

3. It won't pay if CAG gets involved

4. You have no more rights in Court (that you attempt to assert) than a common criminal. Show me your CCA, enforcer dude. I dare Mark to say or understand that the judge will side with him regardless! (though possible, dang)

5. People will eventually get advice against your charging order attempts, and have the best shot ever at stopping them, definately for the sale.

6. Mark, you are so far up your behind, you have forgotten you believe your own brand of tripe.
