Visit from Moorcroft what to do next?

[maybelate]

Hi everyone, when I got home from work today there was a hand written card from Moorcroft there. It said that they would be calling back next week and that when they do the will expect me to pay x amount or the account may be referred for legal action.

 

I have written the "account in dispute" letter, which I will post tomorrow, but I'm not sure whether to phone the representative and point out to him that what he is doing is illegal. Should I highlight to him that I don't owe Moorcroft any money, and that he could be any "Joe Bloggs" demanding money from me?

 

Can someone please advise.

 

Thanks

 

Maybelate

Moorcroft are still advertising in the Daily Mail for doorstep collectors-commission based only-so you make it your lot in life not to give them any commission.

 

I would send the "Do not darken my doorstep" lettert

Was this card in an envelope or available for all to see? I feel a complaint coming on...

[maybelate]

Available for all see!

Offence!

2 UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES

Physical/psychological harassment

2.5 Putting pressure on debtors or third parties is considered to be oppressive.

2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

i. disclosing or threatening to disclose debt details to third parties unless legally entitled to do so

j. acting in a way likely to be publicly embarrassing to the debtor either deliberately or through lack of care, for example, by not putting correspondence in a sealed envelope and putting it through a letterbox, thereby running the risk that it could be read by third parties.

Thanks for that, I thought as much. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to phone him to try and stop him from coming back again next week?

[postggj]

thats exactly what he wants you to do

 

if you must phone with hold your number

 

thats the real reason for the visit

O.K thanks, maybe I'll just leave it then and hope my letter puts a stop to his next planned visit:|

As others have said, he's got no legal right.

If he does return, it's your property and your in control, tell him to leave or you will call the police.

He may walk away mumbling about going to court but just ignore because he has come all the way to you for no commission (how sad).

I can feel a job application coming on. I have form in this regard.

 

Incidentally, I seem to be accumulating green blobs and I have no idea how this happens. How do I find out who's been increasing my reps?.
