Just read this, excellent article by Johann Hari:

Johann Hari: Cruel and out of control: the new face of debt collecting

[angry cat]

Out of Control and the OFT do little or, Nothing!

Why?

 

The whole industry is a cesspit.

[babybear39]

Another good find and better than the C4 programme in as much that it goes much further in condeming illegal practices.

[angryandy]

That's two journalists now who know the score!!!!!!!!

[angry cat]

Pity the so-called Regulators don't know the score.

 

If they do, then they are certainly not enforcing the Regs!

The good thing is...the establishment underestimates the forthcoming revolution at its peril

[lickthewallfatboy]

after 6 years the Caggers should all have SB debts

 

the idiot DCA's can rant and rave and issue threatograms all they want......in fact,in NI I could have 20 CCJ's if they want to go down that route.I already have 1,and the enforcement officer basically told me that as I am on benefits etc etc,I can basically tell them to bog off,as they can't get their mitts on my money

 

CCJ away-they'll be irrelevant in 6 years,and in fact they're irrelevant now,as we've abandoned the culture of credit

 

if we can't afford it,we don't buy it until we have the cash to do so

 

THEY CAN ALL GET STUFFED

[mr.ton]

The whole country is built around people getting credit - if that stops coz too many people have adverse credit files, then the system collapses again

So really speaking, the government & the establishment have to "look after" the poor if you get my jist

Its really the lower classes who control/rule the upper classes

[lickthewallfatboy]

as long as the proles(you and me and 98% of the pop) are conditioned into living on credit,we will be slaves of the 2%

 

change your minds and step off the hamster wheel of financial slavery

[vint1954]

Pity the so-called Regulators don't know the score.

 

If they do, then they are certainly not enforcing the Regs!

They do know the score and intentionally do nothing.

 

Perhaps they are ripe for press attention

[mr.ton]

Well said LTWFB....the day the country stops living off credit is the day this country might cease being the fragmented hellhole that it has become.
