another one for cr@pquest 01252576422

 

Just did the silent calls ofcom form about that one as well

 

Now it would be useful if you could post the link to this as many of us need to report lots of silent calls from DCAs

How's this to post as a template in whocallsme (or any phone log site)? Any modifications or suggestions will be taken on board (though I've done a few numbers already).

 

 

"Refer to the Debt Collection forum section on Consumer Action Group for more info on this company and how to turn their threats back on them. It’s a free-of-charge, entirely confidential discussion board, with friendly and non-judgemental advice – not just for dealing with this company, but ANY telephone harassment problem you may be going through, AND information on laws that such companies are supposed to follow.

CAG will also make you aware of any emotional manipulation or fake friendliness trickery that these companies may try on you if they think you’re susceptible to it.

I think this is a good idea. A lot of people use these sites now. I had a call from a strange number last Friday - it turned out to be from the states. When I checked it, 2 other people had done the same in the previous 3 minutes.

 

There is a whole thread on here about DCA numbers. Personally, I would be willing to do some of this as well. If you want to divvy it up by DCA for instance, I will happily do a few.

 

Regards.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Might be an idea. Didn't realise how many numbers some of them use.

 

Well, I will do a search for numbers for the following who I am extremely friendly with:

 

Moorcroft

Blair Oliver Scott

Wescot

Credit Solutions

Power2Contact

 

I'll have a go at this tomorrow as I have the day off.

 

Regards.

I think I may have already done all of them for Moorcroft already.

 

Yes, the 'valid even if not read by you' line is there also. If there's any I've missed though, you're more than welcome to correct, Fred.

OK. Could you post up the template please.

Post 29 on this thread has the template in bold. Any suggestions or improvements that you feel need to be added/removed, feel free. Had to add the Moorcroft classic line to the end of their numbers, though.

The numbers in blue are the normal numbers, the others are the rep-offs.

 

I'll do both sets just in case.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I've just done Wescot and would suggest a couple of things. Firstly, the text in post 29 needs editing a little as there is a gap in the .com bit which means the hyperlink stops short.

 

Second, the text doesn't post very well in the whocallsme text box. I pasted it into notepad, took out the gaps, left the word wrap off and it now pastes correctly.

 

Third, there are some numbers that have no entries. For these, I've added a line saying 'It's for Wescot Credit Services'. I think I'll amend it to "this is a telephone number for ....."

 

Now for the next one on my list.

 

How are we going to keep up with additional numbers? I think we need some kind of a database. I'm sure somebody on this site is working on something like that. If not, I'll happily volunteer.

 

Regards.

Right, well I've done all the ones I've said I would with the numbers in my earlier post.

 

Think I'll go on and do a few more. Capquest, IQOR and Credit Security are some that I've dealt with. I'll have a look through the thread again to see who, if anyone, has been posting what - don't want to duplicate things.

 

This is a good idea in my view, but it needs to be co-ordinated. There's no point in lots of people all rushing off to do the same thing.

 

Regards.

I've done those now as well apart from Credit Security who I didn't have a number for. That's a start but this is a big job and will take some time.

 

The good thing is that quite a few of the numbers weren't listed on whocallsme, so my entry will be the first one anybody sees if they look that number up.

 

Regards.

That's excellent Fred. A general template easily pasted from A to B, accessible to all Caggers should be made available - so if there's a new number comes up, any one of us just paste in with no problem.

 

Not just for whocallsme, but ANY site that allows user comments on certain numbers used by companies - especially those used by companies with a reputation for harassing calls.

 

We're already hated by such companies, for denting their dishonestly-acquired gains. The only intelligent thing to do is to give them another reason to be irritated by us - then they become angry, and then they start acting rash, and that's what'll really trip them up.

Looks like the collection industry - or someone within it - is getting very irritated with the template. A lot of the templates have been removed from whocallsme. Never fear, they can just as easily be put back on.

Can you give me any examples? I don't see what right they have to get these removed. I will put some more on today I think. If if irritates them then it must be hitting home.

Well I've just checked all the ones I did and they had all gone. I've put them back though and added a few more numbers that I found. This time I haven't put in a link - just advised people to do a search. This site presumably gets it's revenue from advertising, so I wonder if it was the links that did it.

 

We'll find out soon enough - I'll check back in a few days.

 

Regards.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I shouldn't think it has anything to do with links - there are posts pointing to the same that've been there for months. I think that whocallsme removes ANY comment if someone logs it as abuse - regardless of content. In much the same way that Ebay takes an item down if someone reports it for whatever reason (even if that reason is groundless).

 

If that is the case, then whocallsme is forgetting the purpose of its own site - to provide public opinion, which may include links to help websites.

 

But, if comments and links are being taken down because someone within the DCA industry is getting irritated, then I think we've lucked into something. If CAG's mere name is enough to rattle what is a corrupt, unregulated industry, then the industry must really be getting desperate to try and stop more potential Caggers. When it gets as pathetic as them trying to dilute or 'cancel out' public opinion, we're really getting close to the bone as far as they're concerned.

Hmm, notice J2 seem quite hyper-sensitive to criticism, on the 01254 663900 number entry for whocallsme - someone there doesn't like CAG! There seems to be more 'pay up' posts than most on this entry.

 

As the same point is currently being acknowledged on the Guardian article thread, the credit industry has to know that virtually no-one is on their side - it demotivates them some more.
