Thank you for putting all my post as one. I did call them yesterday to ask what the money was for and was told it was a fine imposed by the shop and rlp I thought only a court of law can impose fines. Wrong of me to phone

[dx100uk]

no such thing as a fine by them.

 

if they used that word and you have proof they can be reported.

Never speak to RLP or any debt collection agency by phone.

 

By using the word 'fine' they are attempting to mislead you into believing that RLP's speculative invoice is a legitimate debt, which is untrue.

[pawsforthought]

Thanks once again how long do the DCA usually go on for ?

[renegadeimp]

If its scotcall, 2-3 letters.

[pawsforthought]

The company is bpo collections Limited, The Grange Business Centre, 2 Glebe Street, Stevenson, Ayrshire KA20 3EJ Tel 0141 375 0900

[renegadeimp]

Prob a couple of months. Just send the one line letter to them and bin everything.

[pawsforthought]

Cheers will do

Just had something back from bpo, because I have disputed the claim they have now put the situation on hold and wrote to there clients and they are waiting for a response from there clients before getting back in touch with me. So I don't know what is going to happen until then.

You probably won't hear from BPO again, and are near the end of RLP's barrage.

[Grotesque]

Yes the last thing they all do is righteously inform you that they are passing it back to their client (thus admitting they can't actually do anything, whilst referering it back to the firm who can do even less- for if they could, they would have done it originally!) before throwing in the towel. So it's the home stretch for you.

[ericsbrother]

as they have made up their claim, referring it back to the client is a euphemism for saying goodbye.

I have had a brief look on RLP'S own website. Interestingly they have not updated their "Update on court cases" for nearly two years. Does this mean that they have not taken anyone to court at all in this time, or that they have only had default judgements?

[renegadeimp]

They havent taken anyone to court. Google RLP oxford case 2012 and you'll see why. Should be the first link.

Correct. Only the people who have suffered a loss can take action. The shop!

 

RLP place the court 'wins' on their website to make you believe it is they that do the court claims. Erm, NO!

 

If memory serves me right, the last claim was July 2012 which goes to show that they are very wary of recommending court action.

 

The problem is that not many people realise they have rights and pay up without checking online so until the populace realises what they are up to, they will still profit.

[pawsforthought]

Once again thanks for all the information given here it shows how long RLP persist and try before finally giving up. And I am sure that there are still plenty of people that will pay up. Cheers

[renegadeimp]

Yep. Poor jackie gets more desperate every time. i'm just waiting for her to slip up and cross that thin line.

[pawsforthought]

After all this time I have had a letter from another DCA called county collections ltd of Birmingham again asking payment of £146.50 this alleged debt is certainly being passed around this will be three different companies now.

[SabreSheep]

Ignore or a simple "You do not owe any debt to them or their client"

[pawsforthought]

I will do but this alleged debt must be, being sold between agencies how long can they pass a debt on and is there anyway you you can get it stopped from being passed around

[renegadeimp]

DCA's and RLP dont care if its a legit debt or not. They just want your money. Send the one liner, but add " I will be filing a formal complaint with the FCA"

[citizenB]

can we see an edited copy of the letter you have received, please ?

[pawsforthought]

I will put a copy of the letter on here as soon as I can
