Wetcloths ringing work number...

[mojo8]

Today whilst at my desk i recieved a call from one of the girls in our main office with a call to put through to me.

 

 

She said he asked for me using my full name (First, middle and last) and that he was calling from Wescot.

 

 

She put him through and an awfully rude chap asked me to confirm my name,

i told him NO twice and

he said "right we will write to you then" and hung up.

Now if i had been with a customer that could have been very embarrassing.

 

 

About an hour later the girl who took the call came through and told me she had googled wescot and it came back as a debt coollection company,

 

 

i knew this but was slightly embarrassed that she said this to me.

NOw wescott have my home phone number and know my address

so do they have the right to call me at work

and what do i need to do to stop this happening again....thanks in advance

Embarrassing a debtor in this way is contrary to OFT Guidance.

Re: Harassment by telephone

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: XXXXXXX

Dear Sirs

I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls. (Delete if necessary)

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to, FOS, OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

edit to suit

I have Triton on my back. RBS passed the debt onto them when it's in dispute. They have no credit agreement, so how can they sell it on?

Charl, you should start your own thread,

Go to the forum, scroll down to and click on: Debt Collection Industry - The Consumer Forums

 

Then scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the left hand side is a blue box with 'New Thread' written in it, click on that and type away;)

Also is it worth seeking legal advice now? I've written all the letters on here to RBS and it's gone on and gone since November last year. They've now passed it to Triton who keep harrassing me. Had one letter demanding full payment of the loan in full. I wrote back saying that my dispute is with RBS and not them, they just keep phoning all hours, weekends, evenings, haven't answered one call though. I'm sure another letter will drop through the door with more threats.

 

If RBS have no credit agreement, I don't recall ever signing one, because they changed the terms of the loan at the last minute, making me pay over 7 years instead of 4. It was done over the phone and that was that. Surely if no agreement exists they have to write it off, they already admitted they can't take me to court.

 

Can anybody help please, or even recommend a decent solicitor, have sent an enquiry to Stephensons, but still waiting and it's been a week.

 

Thanks
