Are DCAs run by Del Boy & Rodders?

[esmerobbo]

One of Del Boys favourite sayings was "I got it on sale or return Rodders". Do DCA's get accounts the same way.

Firstly you get a letter off said DCA stating they have BOUGHT the account, you challange it on whatever grounds and then they pass it back to OC.

If they paid for a bad debt and then could not collect why would the OC give them money back? Or are they paying for the account as they collect on a percentage? Then if they realize they cant collect return it unsold? Also if they pass it on to another DCA does that DCA not think why are they giving this to us?

Seems crazy if you buy a bad debt then give it back because its a bad debt. Surely another Del Boy phrase should be written in to the deed of sale "SOLD AS SEEN GOV":roll:

No.

 

Trotter's Independent Traders acted far more legally, honestly and with much higher moral standards than the average DCA.

As the sale contracts often have a clause in them that allows for return for a limited period.

Normally DCAs operate on a basis of commission, hence why the rules and regulations get ignored by the DCA in an attempt to earn their pound of flesh.

 

If they've purchased it, and a notice of assignment has been sent from experience thats normally it and the DCA is stuck with the account.

Not always the case Enron, especially in relation to Cabot!

Sadly I have to say NO, Trotters traded very ethically in some ways, remember the 'Peckham Water' episode...

 

I'd like all DCAs to have a new licence which can be taken away when they get more than 5 complaints... would stop some of them dead in their tracks.

To get the OFT to take action is like trying to nail a jelly to the wall!

Now I think of it Del Boy and Rodders do seem a better option. But would they be as much fun?
