Hi,

Just wanted some advice/reassurance so I can be prepared when eBay's dca try and contact me please.

 

Sold a car in November, buyer didn't pay or collect.

He bid and won the auction at £350 then messaged me to say he'd just checked and only had £230 in his bank account

 

 

I opened a dispute and he never responded.

Once a certain amount of time passed eBay automatically resolved the dispute in my favour and said they would refund seller fees.

 

 

To be honest I thought that meant all seller fees.

 

through December I've been getting reminder/suspension emails to pay £10 fees (listing fee I think)

 

 

I started a new job which pays 2 months in arrears so I've had nearly 2 months without being paid and obviously had to prioritise my spending I removed my automatic PayPal payment.

 

 

In fact I think I may have removed automatic payment when the dispute was open

but the guy wasn't responding to stop them taking £45 when he wasn't going to pay.

 

 

To be fair I was quite annoyed about paying anything in the first place after getting messed about.

 

I had a voicemail and email yesterday from transcom.

The email said I owed £18 (£8 fee on £10 "debt"... I don't think so...)

 

 

I logged on to my eBay account today and had a message from them yesterday,

same day of transcom email saying pay today to avoid further action.

 

my dad lent me some money yesterday to tide me over till payday

I've just been on and paid eBay direct and my account has now been reinstated and showing a balance of zero.

 

What do I say to the dca now for them to leave me alone?

They've tried to ring me again this evening.

I don't want to be continuously contacted or them to mark my credit file for the sake of £10.

 

Thanks

they cant mark your credit file as they have no interest in any matter.

They get paid a small amount to bother you and have added a "fee" on top so they can earn something for their troubles.

 

 

There is no legal reason for this,

they hope that you are ignorant to their crookedness.

 

 

However,as they have your phone number they will keep calling you.

 

Personally I would answer and if you find a real person at the end of the line

just scream at the top of your voice until they hang up.

 

 

You can then write a formal complaint if you wish regarding their activity and remind them that they have to follow the rules laid down ( you will need to look thse up, they are mentioned in other dca threads)

DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS so safe to ignore

 

 

Ebay/paypal accounts don't show on credit files

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...
