Ha ha ha ha stop please I'm gonna wet myself......Oh dear god, I needed a good laugh, that is hilarious!

 

They have awards!! Oh boy, they really do think they do a worthy job, I reckon they're missing a trick here, they should be in comedy, not inflating their ego's with lame award ceremonies.

[sillygirl1234]

LOL I googled Lowell and BW legal and this little gem appeared. Ive had a good read around......CLASSIC!!!!!

[Bazooka Boo]

Are you not subscribed to Credit Today's emails? There even better for a good old giggle!

[sillygirl1234]

Did you see the pictures of the "JUDGES"??

 

Sara de Tute.......

[billdebt]

well i never...all the usual faces...what ever next...?

[Bazooka Boo]

And that is exactly why they will continue to con people and run roughshod over any and every legislation and guidelines in force, because they all are truly 'in it together'.

 

I'm surprised that no-one from experian was on the judging panel, their in the pockets of these DCA's, or is it the other way round??

[sillygirl1234]

Im trying to decide which catagory Im going to give my "Most Ironic" award to.........Possibly this one;-

Legal Recovery Firm of the Year

Sponsored by Insolvency Today

WINNER: BW Legal.

Considering all the SD's BW have issued recently how ironic that this award is sponsered by "Insolvency today"......................

 

or maybe this one....

Best Customer Initiative

Sponsored by Lowell Group

WINNER: Fredrickson International.

 

Its the "sponsored by Lowell" that does it for me with this one!!

Pity that someone who confesses to have suffered from depression allows herself to be used by an industry that does more to cause depression in people than most other conditions put together

Sara de Tute.......

 

It's like having Josef Fritzl judging a childcare competition.

 

Noting that HSBC had a man on the judging panel, I wonder if drug dealers have awards for money-launderers...

It certainly does. The shear hell you go through at the hands of these debt collectors is immesurable. It certainly made me ill.

 

Was just reading the bit under Sara De Tutes picture.......

 

A qualified solicitor, Sara joined the executive board of leading debt purchaser, the Lowell Group in May 2012 as legal and compliance director. Prior to that, she was legal and compliance director at Wescot Credit Services where she spent nine years. In 2008, she was appointed to the board of directors of the Credit Services Association and, after two years, as vice president, she became president in September 2011. As part of her role, she regularly meets with the credit industry regulators, other trade bodies, responds to consultation papers, sits on a number of strategic working parties and is playing a key role in helping to prepare for transition to the FCA for the CSA and its members. She regularly produces articles for the industry press and is often called upon for comments on regulatory and compliance issues.

 

 

Theres no hope is there........

Could you imagine having a CAG table at next years ceremony and CAG sponsoring an award. Perhaps, most online complaints. There would be plenty of puzzled looks around the room.

[brokebutnotbeatn]

Now this is such a brill idea!

LMAO!! Oh my if I hadn't off read it on here I would never believed there was such a thing as DCA awards!!

 

Loved the Do's & Don't section, where they had to show proof of evidence etc & no fabrication. These Cowboys operate on lies & intimidation, now there's awards for them? Unbelievable!!

 

P.S. Would love to see CAG sponsor an award (such as above), that would be TFF!! Lol

[babydoll0141917]

LMAO Oh my ways ..That did make me laugh ..I think I will award one with the most letters sent this year..For gods sake what ever next

[dizzygirl26]

The Palace Hotel must be a bit hard up for conference parties this year if they let this lot in. Shame there weren't any sabotage attempts by disgruntled hotel staff who’d had dealings with any of the DCAs involved.

People objected to a comment I made on a site that Ruby Wax should be ashamed of herself for appearing there as others have pulled out in the past.

[Bazooka Boo]

I follow Ruby Wax on twitter, I might just air my opinion on there.

[unclebulgaria67]

I think Ruby Wax should have considered her appearance more, but the truth is that many personalities will appear at pretty much any event, if the money is right. I suspect that for one such evening they would have paid £20k+. Having worked in financial services (not debt collecting), these companies splash the money out for events that publicise their companies.

 

As for depression, this is often an ongoing medical issue and debt just makes it worse. If Ruby had thought about it, perhaps she considered that debt is a normal part of life and does not cause depression. For people with depression they should be receiving ongoing medical treatment for it. Perhaps if she was aware of people driven over the edge by debt collection, she may not have attended.

[up2meears]

I think it's great that these hard working, fair, honest and professional agencies have their dedication recognised. :lol: I had to laugh at the rules, they must have come up with them after the event.

 

I look forward to receiving my next letter from Mack Hall. Bet their letter head shows their Consumer DCA of the year award! It should read Consumer Complaints DCA of the year.

 

And what is best use of technology award? Apex must have the 'one finger letter generator' button down to an art.

 

This did cheer me up, thanks for posting it!!

Compliance team of the year - 1st crud!

 

Seriously?! NON - compliance team yes certainly! I can't see how they're compliant with anything if they are happy to verbally abuse a heavily pregnant woman! Mind you, the hormones did make short work of them.....

[Bazooka Boo]

Perhaps CAG could have their own awards ceremony every year to run in conjunction with theirs? On the tinternet of course.

It’d be kind of like how the Golden Razzberries are to the Oscars-I always find much more truth in them!
