Wescot dodging CCA request

[PGH7447]

There are ways of working with your debts that does not involve assisiting companies that use threats and intimidation as their first line of "working" with a debtor to clear their debts.

 

If these DCA's actually tried to "work" with a debtor then they would find that they would get a greater return on their efforts, BUT they dont or wont work this way, so I for one would never advise a poster to submit an I&E to these people

PGH , as I'm sure you know you are very much in a majority taking that view on this site. However, we all have our opinions. I've supplied IE sheets to carefully selected creditors this year and managed to get just over £15000 of debt written off, so something has worked. If others achieve the same or better results a different way, great!

Hello again everyone,

 

Such an amazing response from you guys, unfortunately not from Wescot Another letter brought up thoughts that they dont communicate between each other and whoever gets my letters doesnt check previous correspondence whatsoever.

Ive decided to send them IE sheet, very honest figures and proof of them on request but few days ago I got a reply :

 

'We have previously advised you that one of the actions we were considering on your account was a Door Step Collection Visit to your home address to recover the outstanding balance.

As we know of no genuine reason why you have failed to repay the outstanding balance, instructions will now be provided to our agent to make an appointment to visit you.

You have a final opportunity to avoid referral to a DSC Agent by phoning us to agree a suitable method of repayment IMMEDIATELY. '

 

Should I send them another IE sheets ? I dont want a door step collection agent (like I would have anything to take from), please help.

Two options:

1. Send the template letter re needing an appointment for doorstep collections

2. Let them waste their money sending someone (IF they do), open the door, "Sorry no appointment, bye bye!" Shut door.

Why oh why does everyone think that their puerile threats of collecting doorsteps should automatically mean 'panic mode!'

It doesn't far from it, not only are they unqualified and will be committing a tort of trespass should they decide to foolishly turn up on your doorstep, but it is YOUR property, YOU say who comes & visits, NOT some immature bully boy outfit who's methods of extorting money by intimidation are intrinsically flawed, and should be seen as 'extortion by intimidation'.

 

If some knuckle head does grace your doorstep tell them to foxtrot oscar, they have exactly 10 seconds to get off your property or you'll call the Police, if they try to call your bluff, with the usual 'go on then' shut the door and ring the Police 999, and report that there is someone on your property who won't leave when told to and you believe they will cause a breach of the peace.

 

There is NOTHING wetcloths can do, except send out intimidating threat letters, ALL of which should be copied and sent to the OFT&TS via consumer direct, these vultures have blood on their hands and I am amazed that they are still as bolshy as ever, least of all still working in the corrupt industry.

Save your money, OR send this 2nd class and obtain proof of posting, and print a copy off and keep it by your front door if they decide to send one of their undesirables round....V.unlikely.

They are seriously ZERO to worry about, they are NOT bailiffs, they have NO legal training or qualifications to even be on anyone's doorstep, least of all make childish threats that they can do so.
