DLC go undercover

[ODC]

It would appear that DLC have now taken on a new role as secret agents.

 

I received a letter from them telling me that I am now on their Debt Surveillance Program and that I am being monitored by their Debt Surveillance Department.

 

WTF is this all about. Does MI5 know???8-)

 

Oh yes this is the company that last week was threatening CCJs and Baliffs and now this hush hush department are offering a 25% discount.

 

I thought DLC would have been too busy with their chicken department at this time of yearto start up a new secret surveillance unit:rolleyes:

 

For Faccenda re Facile

[phil_nottingham]

Ooooooooo am really jealous mate!!!!

[Deb T]

That old chestnut I've been surveiled by DLC and have since taken to sleeping in a boat far out to sea so as to escape their clutches. When I am on shore I wear a lead hat, speak only to brown squirrel and NEVER EVER EVER EVER eat a Mcdonalds....my conspiracy theory is that DCA's control Mcdonalds...oooooh, spooky ...

 

Just ignore it, just another useless tactic designed to intimidate.

 

Say, you're not Brown Squirrel are you?

[ODC]

Well it failed miserably. I nearly peed myself laughing at it.

No, I am.

The dark glasses fool everyone...

[ScarletPimpernel]

You can't beat DCAs for comedy value.

 

Any dickers outside your house, ODC?

[angry cat]

Perhaps, they have employed:

Henny Penny;

Cocky Locky and;

Chicken Licken?

[Undercover-Elsa]

Maybe they're chicken spies?

Seriously though, for anyone less savvy than Caggers that could cause real fear and unease.

Maybe you should write back saying as a member of the Debt Watchdog Ripoff Consumer Moneysaving Undercover Surveillance Team you will be pleased to meet them in the Bandstand in the park at 1 am where you will have a copy of all the real names of CAG members..for payment of £5B in used notes......

[angry cat]

I think it must be special agent: Turkey Lurkey!

 

Anyway, they all know that, the sky is falling in...

[ScarletPimpernel]

I'm sure you're right. Another DCA department that dosn't exist, like compliance and 'pre court' departments.

 

Still, I suspect that it's intended to mislead, and as such is probably against the OFT Guidance.

[Linus]

I think some DCA has been watching to many James Bond films,

 

Cant wait for the threats, that are signed either by Auric Goldfinger or Ernst Stavro Blofeld.....

 

We may have been shaken, but we are not stirred.

I can think of 357 reasons why that might not be prudent.

[Seminole]

Yep, it's complete gibberish and intended to frighten you but I think you should call their bluff and take it seriously.

 

Unless they define what they mean by "debt survillance" then there is an implication that they may seek access to data that they are not entitled to see and intrude into your life in ways that might be in breach of the law.

 

If you're confident of your ground in respect of whatever debt they're chasing you for, I think you should write to them asking them to set out precisely what form this surveillance will take. When they fail to respond, make a complaint to the OFT and also to the Information Commissioner asking whether their actions are in accordance with the principles of data protection.

[ScarletPimpernel]

[Pinky69]

I would report them to the OFT anyway - that is harrassing language and could terrify someone not in the know. Tony Locke is a sad case.

No, I am.

The dark glasses fool everyone...

 

HMM, Do you haf ze money?

[DonkeyB]

It's the crows you have to watch out for. They know things...

[DonkeyB]

Actually, maybe they have a print out of your alleged debt, and they have put it on the desk. And they are just watching it.

[ashmk]

[cerberusalert]

To stop them reading your mind or messing with your brain you should wear one of these top of the range hi-tech anti-surveillance devices ASAP.

"Double Oh Spam", licenced to dance on your throat
