Help! Capital Finance One have passed my outstanding balance to Carter & Co. I spoke to carter & co yesterday and they are threatening me, saying they will come round to my house in the early hours of the morning and take my car and anything else of value, I have offered to pay the outstanding amount in full when I get paid but they said they cant wait that long and I dont know what to do. Im scared they will come to my house and hurt my family. Are they allowed to just turn up and take my car & belongings? My debt is only £300!! They have never written to me or sent me any form of formal communication. Has anyone else had dealings with these people?

ignore their empty threats. Do they have a CCJ? Has any court action taken place? as for can they come and take your stuff only with warrant issued by court and that is very very last resort. You need to stay of the phone to these jokers you have found out the hard way they are experts in threatening you. First thing is go into letter library here and send off the withdrawal of access to your property then they cant come near you. They turn up and you in any way feel threatened ring police and get them removed. from now you only contact them in writing, dont break the bank to pay them back, if you can afford to pay full amount and it has no impact on you then pay it if not then send what you can afford in a postal order to them.

 

They have less rights to visit your property than the milkman and have as much legal powers as him. I would complain to OFT and Trading Standards about Carter & Co and their threats. Others will offer help too dont worry these clowns aren't coming round any day soon

I know my rights Mr DCA I'm with the CAG......hello hello where you gone Mr DCA8)

They just claim to be called carter & co. But I can't find them anywhere on the internet. They answer the phone with just "hello" I asked if calls were recorded and the man just laughed and said "as if"

 

Thank you for the advice Padja, I will contact the OFT and trading standards and download the letter. No there has been no court action or CCJ. I told them man i spoke to that I hadnt received any letters from them and he said they had emailed me - I havent received them. He said he would forward them but it would take a few days and by then they will have been to collect what they need to cover the debt, so i shouldnt worry about it. I will try not to speak to them and write a letter instead but they ring my mobile and direct dial at work about 6/7 times a day. Thanks again for the advice :-) it's reassuring as they are very scary and I didnt know what they could/couldnt do.

This could be Bryan Carter Solicitors...don't worry about them.

Experienced caggers will be along soon who have dealt with him.

In the meantime report these to Tradings Standards tomorrow.

Either ignore or hang up do not speak to them.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Just a quick update spoke to CFO today and apparently the company are called Coen & Co not Carter and Co sorry. Complained about the threats they made to me and have also informed the trading standards who are investigating.

There not a registered company they are people from capital finance one with a made up company name pretending to be door to door debt collectors just ignore them they can not come to your house. They think there bully facts will make up pay.And never give them your debt card details they will clear out your account if you want to make payments to them ask for account detail to do a transfer.
