Argos debt - Frericksons -Telephone Harassment

[focus594]

Large sum is owed to Argos and a letter was sent to them saying no further telephone contact. They have now passed the debt to Fredricksons who are phoning day and night on both landline and mobile.

 

Letter will be sent to Fredricksons but I am just wondering. If Argos have a letter warning of telephone harrassment should they have passed on telephone contact details to Fredricksons?

 

What happens if Fredrickson then pass the debt to someone else, would the calls start all over again.

 

Also Fredricksons have already been sent an harrasment letter regarding another creditor, would this just apply to that creditor or would it apply to Fredricksons making telephone contact full stop.

You might want to point out the two judgments below where Judges were quite scathing in their condemnation of the harassment of debtors by telephone.

Yes indeed, I remember seeing them both. Should an original creditor be allowed to pass on telephone contact details to a dca when a letter has been sent to original creditor forbidding telephone contact?

Nothing to prevent them passing on contact details of any sort.
