There is one things which DCA's are afraid of...

 

 

One observation I made based on my numerous phone conversations with various banks collection departments and DCA's.

 

They are afraid of their phone calls being recorded.

 

I have a truecall unit installed and recording all the conversation (best 100£ I ever spend, on one of credit cards without CCA )

 

I also gave a 0871 number to all the DCA's and banks. I can at any time change whether all calls to this 0871 number are transferred to my home line or to voice-mail or whatever. Hence I basically can take (or not) phone call from DCA's as I please. Lately I do sometimes take their calls just for fun of quoting legislation and case law to the monkeys on the other end as well as referring them to specific paragraphs of letters I've sent them half a year ago and observing their reaction.

 

Usually when I grow tired of a pointless discussion with a low IQ idiots who unable to maintain an intelligent conversation I tell them 'ohh by the way I am recording this conversation'. Every time, without a single exception, they hang up or put me on an endless hold within 30 seconds after that.

 

I do not mind being on hold, due to satisfaction knowing that they pay 10p per minute. (google 'free 0871 number' or something like that if you want get such service for free, you actually could get paid 2-3p per minute of calls to such 0871 number)

 

Conclusions:

 

1. They know that they act unlawfully when they call and bamboozle you with waffle and they are trying to avoid any paper trail on this.

 

2. If you want them to hang up, tell them that you are recoding, even if you don't.

 

3. Do not talk with them unless you are recording.

"I have three things to say:

Consumer Action Group.

Recorded Phone Call.

You Tube."

 

It should be four things, but the phone goes dead before you can say

"bye bye"

Get a Truecall system...never look back...

[lickthewallfatboy]

I believe one of them is quite rattled by sugary bakery products being delivered

You dont need to folk out £100 on that thing to make them believe your recording. Just tell them you are and it works just as well and is £100 cheaper.

True, but transcripts of all that drivel they tell you might well worth weight of this truecall unit in gold.

I suppose next someone is going to post this will make a wonderful xmas present to a loved one. Well it wont.

[berrylover]

Do you have to tell them you are recording a call, and if they say that you can't, how can you bamboozle them back with legislation?

[woody1066]

Tell them that if they dont want to be recorded then stop phoning you. There is no legislation that prevents you as an individual from recording thier conversations. The law only applies to companies

[Readalot]

yep, as Woody said... laugh in their face

[mr.ton]

The DCA's make laws up as they go along.

Its a culture shock to them when they are forced to comply with real laws
