Hi all, I have received a letter today (14-10-08) from 1st credit DCA.

 

The letter reads,

 

Dear Sir / Madam

 

1st Credit (Guernsey) Limited is attempting to contact the above named regarding a personal matter.

 

Your address has been supplied as a possible address for our subject who was previously resident at :- (previous address)

 

Please contact our offices immediately on telephone number 0843 320 0000 and quote the above 1st Credit reference number at which time further information can be provided.

 

If you are not the individual we are attempting to contact or have information that may assist please call us at your earliest convenience, on telephone number 0843 320 0040, in order that we may correct our records.

I have no knowledge of having a debt that I am not already settling from my previous address.

 

Can anybody please give me any advice?

Definitely ignore, why do they think that you will do their lousy job for them anyway?

 

If they can't be bothered to use their 'state of the art' tracing procedures, then certainly don't do their slimy job for them.

IGNORE, IGNORE & IGNORE SOME MORE!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

The next step will probably be a letter from Connaught Collections 1st Credits cohort

company with the usual threats of what they may do what they might do

if you don't contact them.

If & when this does happen send them the DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE DEBT/ CCA

request letter,£1 postal order for fee, DON't sign PO and send recorded delivery.

I wouldn't send them anything, give a dog a bone and it'll keep coming back, what are they going to do, they're only debt collectors, they don't have any legal rights, or education for that matter, just ignore them unless you want to spend a small fortune in stationary and postage costs, and I wouldn't be sending trem a No debt acknowleged by recorded del, these only need be sent second class with proof of posting, why litigants should be forced to pay the extra cost of recorded deliver mail, when these tin pot DCA's send all their correspondence walk sort/2nd class is beyond me, I would only advise sending important request ie, a CCA/SAR/LBA via recorded delivery.

 

Just ignore them, ket them continue barking up the wrong tree, there is absolutely nothing they can do to you, unless you respond to them in some way then they will place a 'Mug awaits fleecing' marker on your file and send a deluge of deforestation your way.

Had exactly the same letter myself a few days ago.

 

I notice Uncle Bob and chums are still breaching OFT guidelines from the following statement......

 

 

If no response is received within ten days of issue we will assume that you are the individual we wish to contact and will of course ensure that all correspondence is sent to you.

 

So they're bassically admitting they don't know if they have the correct person or not, but will still hound you with threats of CCJ's, Bailiffs, etc

 

Sending a copy of mine to the OFT, if I were you I'd do the same, pointing out the above sentence. ;-)

These are video links to show how I deal with Debt Collectors.

Hi there

Maybe I'm being obtuse but if you REALLY don't have the debt why on earth should YOU have to go to the trouble of having to go to the Post Office, get a 1 GBP postal order and CCA the wretches.

 

I'm all in favour of fighting stuff on the basis of invalid / un-enforceable agreements but if I have to WASIE my own time and proving the debt isn't mine then what on Earth is the point of English Common Law which presumably states that the CLAIMANT has to PROVE that the DEFENDANT actually owes the money or whatever not the other way around.

 

If a CCJ is issued falsely etc then these **** should have to PAY big time for defamation of Character, damages etc etc.

 

It's up to THEM to prove that I owe the money --not the other way around.

 

I know that this advice might go against the spirit of CAG but really if you say value your time at XXX GBP an hour and it takes say 3 hours to sort this mess out then the DCA should pay up --end of story.

 

Cheers

jimbo

Hi all, just to keep you updated.

 

I received 2 letter today from 1st Credit, one letter is trying to give me a deal saying they will write off 30% if i by the end of this month, 20% if i pay in september and 10% if i pay in october.

 

The second letter states that HFC Bank has assigned to 1st Credit the full outstanding balance of my debt. To no longer make contact with HFC Bank. If I want any personal information regarding this matter then to send my request along with a £10 admin fee and a self addressed envelope.

 

What to do next????

Yet they do not know if you are the alleged debtor.....very naughty!

 

You can continue to ignore or you can send them this letter from the templates library: http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/573-general-debt-letter-if-you-know-nothing-of-the-debt

 

Personally I would be inclined to ignore.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

Why not contact Trading Standards with these missives, if you do write back to Ist Credit they will no doubt ask for further ID to prove who you are - completely insane.

 

Wonder why they are now hiding in Guernsey... maybe to get out of the way of OFT regulation?

The [problem] being that 1st are on a fishing trip, it seems pulling in all and sundry, whether they are in debt to them or not, making their lives a misery, for no good reason, and just in case they get pulled up about it, they can simply say "we are not a uk company, therefore you cannot touch us!

Dont you agree that is something of a [problem]

I see, possibly that has something to do the citi agreement that they said they did not have to provide as the account was not theirs anymore, sudenly turning up albeit without any signature or account number.

 

So when i contact the OFT and they mention to 1st about estrictions on their licence they can say nothing to do with us?

Hi all another update from 1st Credit.

 

I received another letter today (11 september 2010)

 

Letter reads:

 

" We regret the above sum remains outstanding. We now intend to take legal proceedings against you. If successful it may result in:

-Legal costs and interest being charged thereafter;

-Entry of your name in the register of judgements, orders and fines, making it difficult to obtain credit in the future.

 

Subsequent failure to make payment may result in enforcement action:

-An application to your employer for an attachment of earnings;

-Seizure of your assets by a county court bailiff;

-A charging order against your property, (if owned by you).

 

PLEASE TAKE THIS FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CONTACT "

 

 

I have confidently ignored all advances by 1st credit, till now. The last thing I now want after years of repairing my credit rating is for 1st credit to ruin it.

 

Should I now send them a letter stating that I have no recollection of any such debt?

Hmm, IMO I would still ignore the fools, they have no intention of taking legal action, although they foolishly state this.

Notice they use 'Intend' and 'may' not have or will.

 

If you reply with something now, then you will get them all coming out of the woodwork, have you checked your credit file, and is their anything on their?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
