Wescot

[laalinz]

Started recieving phonecalls from Wescot yestarday.

 

Not to sure who may have set these hound dogs onto me as, as of yet I am still answer a phone call. Only had four phonecalls in total up to now.

 

I am currently in the process of claiming unfair chargers back from Natwest Credit card, Barclaycard and very and have sent a SAR to Next and Halifax Credit card. So it has to be one of these lovely people.

 

Will keep you inform. Done a bit of Westcot reading on here and sounds like they are just charming .......................oh I wonder if moorcroft have passed my Argos onto them as I back then into a corner. Time will tell.................

Its a Natwest Credit Card which is firmly in dispute pending a SAR and other complaints so I have today sent Natwest an email telling them that this account is in dispute.

 

Dear Mr Fleck,

 

I am very disappointed to discover that this account has been passed onto Westcot Debt Company even though this account is firmly in dispute regarding my current unresloved complaint.

 

I request that Westcot be advised of the matter and that the Credit Card account be passed back onto Natwest.

 

Not only is this a breach of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 in line with the Office Of Fair Trading's debt collection guidelines, but also in breach of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and Data Protection Act 1998

 

My previous dispute has NOT been answered.

 

Consequentially any legal action they pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the you for resolution of these defaults and breaches, as Wescot cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

If Wescot chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 in line with the Office Of Fair Tradings Collection Guidelines

 

I hope that this will not be necessary and an acceptable solution can be accomplished.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

Received a very rude telephone call last night at 8.50pm from Westcot.

 

I picked the bloody thing up as she caught me off guard. I wouldn't let her speak to me hubby at first and she was saying things such as "does he not live there"? "Can he not talk"? "will you just let him talk to people is that it"?

 

Oh RUDE.

 

Hubby talked to her and refused to go through her security questions when she asked him why he said "because I have no idea who you are"!

My mother has just received a nasty letter after a series of phone calls. They are not threatening her with doorstep action blah blah blah. I have today sent them an equally shiity letter using tidbits from this site so we will see if they roll over and dissapear!

 

Agreed with comments on here though as my mum says whoever the person is calling her is an obnoxious so and so!

[laalinz]

Horrible bunch of people. I have had dealings with Moorcrroft but Westcot beat them hands down in the insults.

 

Account they are chasing me for is in dispute as the penalty charges added to account wipe out balance plus £223 extra. Complete muppets the lot of them.

[sickboy]

Try playing a little tune down the phone using all of the buttons!

[laalinz]

ohhhh I wonder if I could play The Jaws theme tune. Next time they ring I will give it a go

[sickboy]

Something like ba ba black sheep may drive them to despair quicker!

This Natwest Credit Crad is currently in dispute as I am currently trying to recover the charges on this account which wipe out the blance with some left over.

 

What should my next move be please? This letter seems a little more scary

[PGH7447]

ignore it, if they are offering a discount then they must think there is something amiss, either they cant find an agreement or some such thing

[ArclightUK]
