'Well you've had the money so you must pay it back'

 

- the one and only time I spoke to 1st on the phone LOL:).

 

To which I replied

 

'well if I did have it, I didn't have it from you so you ain't getting it':lol::lol::lol:

 

What saddens me is that there must be loads of people out there that get duped by this - a 200 quid telly for paying £2500 off a debt thats most likely unenforceable.

 

Yes I can see the funny side of this on CAG with CAGGER but lets remember the nasty sinister undertones that lead to exploitation of the less informed.

I bet there are hidden T&C attached somewhere which means 'oops... sorry, thanks for the £2,500, but didn't you read the small print? It was only while stocks lasted, and we didn't really have any TVs'.

 

Trust a DCA? I'd rather leave my Jewish auntie with Adolf Hitler.

could it be even more devious could it be classed as acknowledging a debt if you made enquiries about the deal. Or even seeing if you can only afford what you are saying you can, and then suddenly being able to find 2.5K in your trouser pocket.

Acknowledgement of a debt has to be in writing:)

What can I do now. After ignoring the letters the offers of the telly etc and then the subsequent letters from DHS Debt Help Service - A Specialist Collections Unit of 1st Credit Ltd on 6th and 12th November 2009, today we have received a Notice of Intended Action letter from Mackenzie Hall in Kilmarnock, saying they are acting on behalf of their clients 1st Credit.

 

As 1st Credit acknowledged receipt of our Account in Dispute letter in July 09 and even said in the reply that no enforcement will be made until they have supplied the signed agreement, which they have not, what do I do now. I am sick of ignoring them as they just send more crap letter from other companies or departments. I think it's time to report them now. Is there a template letter anywhere that I can use on this site.

 

Your advice as always is necessary and very very welcome, :confused:

Well you can now open the Champagne. Worst Credit have admitted defeat by passing the account on to Muck Hall as our friends from Kilmarnock only specialise in UNENFORCEABLE debt.

 

You could play letter tennis with Muck Hall by sending the bemused letter or just ignore them completely as they will soon slither back under their stone. As for Worst Credit you MUST reprt them to the OFT for passing on a disputed debt

Oh my god I can't believe it. My son will be so happy. Am going to do the letter to the OFT right now and think I'll just ignore the Muck Hall (love that name) bunch altogether, not spending even a first class stamp on the idiots. Thank you so much for your help, will make a donation to the site today!

MacKenzie Hall also have some other choice names they're known under on other forum sites :-

 

Mucky B...s

 

F... (H)All

 

Such companies know their place in life - below everyone else. They are to be belittled and disregarded, and when it comes down to it, they're a minor inconvenience to be swatted away like a fly that buzzes into a room.

 

A rolled up newspaper in the form of a CCA request always gets rid.

I so want to play with 1st crudit and see if I can get Uncle Bob to send me a telly. :D

 

It really makes me wonder how desperate the DCA's are getting. I think this little [problem] of offering freebies is to get peeps to start the Statute Barred clock ticking again, so they can get people into court. It has to be a breach of OFT guidelines to use misleading tactics to get people to contact them. It's along the lines of Telogram asking you to call them and confirm details as they have a parcel they want to deliver.

 

If I had a letter like that, I'd be sending a copy of it to the OFT. And also sending Uncle Bob (1st credit's compliance manager) a letter asking WTF are you playing at?

 

All the DCA's I had fun annoying and playing with, and still 1st Credit is out of my reach. I long for the day when one of their begging letters lands on my mat. I have the number for Uncle Bob's desk and his email address. (a little seach on Google is all that is needed to find it.) ;) One day I will get to use it properly. :smile::smile::smile:

Got another letter from M H yesterday threatening action if he doesn't pay up. Have just ignored it so far. I think it really is time to report them now. Who do I report, 1st Credit, Connaught or MH or all of them?

Is there a template letter to the OFT for this anywhere?

 

Thanks
