[sillygirl1]

Just posted on Credit Today - the categories for this years awards

 

http://www.credittodayawards.co.uk/nominations/categories.php

 

I wonder what Litigation Team of the Year would win - hopefully NOT HFO!

 

Who will be the 'Rising Star' and what will their career path be in the next few years with credit being squeezed even harder and more people being made redundant.....

 

Any more comments on categories welcomed, I suggest the following

 

Silliest DCA Name of the Year

Silliest Debt Collection Letter of the Year

Silliest Excuse of the Year from a DCA for not providing info

[harrassed senior]

How about Best threatening letter gotten away with!

[payback68]

How about an award for the DCA which Employs the most Mr Whites, Mr Blacks, Mr greys and lets not forget their team leader(hence the double barrelled surname), Mr Pink Polka-dot

 

PB68

[inkslinger]

On a very sad note,

 

Award for the DCA who caused the most suicides this year?

[sillygirl1]

Thee is a thread where AIC posted a yellow card with the name Mr Dickey on, must be worth a wind up or two...

 

I also think

 

DCA most mentioned on CAG

 

is worth an award too....

Why don't we nominate CAG for the debt advice award, might be worth a try... we can list our successes on here, what a wonderful way of upsetting the industry that would be.

[DonkeyB]

At least while they’re indulging in mutual backslapping and filling out their nomination forms they’ll be leaving some poor buggers alone.

[king100]

I 2nd that

[oilyrag]

Sadly we on CAG keep referring to this malignancy as an "industry", we could not be further from the truth.

 

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "industry" as a noun, meaning:-

 

diligence, habitual employment in useful work, branch of trade or manufacture

 

I think abomination ("detestable, revolting" from the same source) would define the DCA malevolents more accurately.

I think CAG should hold their own awards, voted for by Caggers and then send that out on a press release

[HardYards]

DCAs giving themselves gongs reminds me of the Frederick Raphael quote:

 

'Awards are like haemoerroids; in the end, every a***h**e gets one.'

 

How about an award for thickest DCA? Or would that come under 'DCA most mentioned on CAG'?

 

Best wishes to all

[coledog]

Subbing - love this one

[Bazooka Boo]

We should give them awards.........maybe some Monopoly money in a statue of tightly clenched butt cheeks, or our very own CAG money in a security box which has exploding dye in it when it's opened by the deserving winner!!!

Hi guys

 

My father once chucked a shilling into the common urinal trench of our pub's lavatory to demonstrate that someone would stoop to collect it.

SG having had MANY dealings with AIC and seen them off i must admit i have never battled with Mr Dickey lol! i wonder if his first name is "Clever", oh wait how stupid of me, as if there would be a "Clever Dicky" working for a DCA

 

PB68.

[DonkeyB]

Dickey is his middle name. He is normally known as Complete Head.

[Fred Bassett]

For silliest letter of the year, I'd like to nominate this: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?84928-Fred-Bassett-v-Egg-Credit-Solutions&p=2843488&viewfull=1#post2843488

 

Also, I think there should be a category for 'Thickest DCA of the Year'. Now I realise that the competition for this would be very stiff indeed, but nonetheless, I recommend CapQuest for outstanding achievements in this field.

 

Regards.

I would nominate my new double puppet (one of those which has a face on each side, this is male on both sides) who is known to me as Uncle Bryan (Bryan Carter) and Uncle Alastair (Alastair Turnbull of Turnbull Rutherford) as one of the comperes of the CAG Debt Collecting Awards show...

 

As far as silly letters go I still think my reply to Robinson Way in the same layout as their letter had a good result, I haven't heard that Hayley Felton is still working for them but she was a muppet - I told her I got more sense talking to my puppets than her and she was not pleased!

 

So, for the CAG Awards we now need a date, I would suggest after Easter to allow for bad weather to take place, and how about the annual Birmingham bash - we can have the award ceremony in the foyer of Jury's after the do....

[SteveH2508]

The Rolf Harris award for the most creative use of crayons

 

The E Blackadder special award for the letters printed on the most soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent paper

[sillygirl1]

An award must go to the company who produce the most misleading letter with selective misquotes from case law...

[Bazooka Boo]

"Valid even if not read by you" is my all time favourite, along with "Avoiding your debts is an offence"!! Got that last one on Trucall, and it was from a sols office!!

[payback68]

Just a couply more here:-

 

The angriest DCA (OBVIOUSLY OVER THE PHONE) i nominate AIC Mr White lol.

 

Having sent them a nasty letter he phoned me and just shouted Mr xxxxxxx you do not tell me what to do and slammed the phone down after i shouted back " i just have".

 

Also the DCA who has purchased the most LEMONS!. My personal nomination must go to Arrow Global whom have just purchased a debt off Newmans, best of luck to them attempting to get ANY cash out of me.

 

PB68.

[sillygirl1]

Have a look for the Devon Investigations thread on here, apparently they specialise in collecting 'bank stationery recoveries...."

 

Got to give them an award for that - as one poster said how many post-it notes have they recovered, I added about missing pens.....
