Which DCA is the worst?

[sequenci]

vote time folks

[djweeble]

Link Financial Leeches

[knoxvillain]

Nco

[diskmandave]

Lowell Financial (Cap One) & BLS Collections (LTSB) - Equally.

[Stornoway]

Newman and Coy (American Express) - completely unreasonable. Credit Solutions are pretty aggressive too.

[moneydragon]

Triton Credit Services - bullies ,arrogant aggressive. I would love to see one of their staff get into financial difficulties, then shoe would certainly be on the other foot then!!!

[maggie]

Wescot/Moorcroft .All of the above ,without a doubt.

 

Maggie

[nannamoon1]

All of them:D

[sequenci]

lol i forgot i posted this... was bored at work on saturday. i was going to put a poll up.. maybe i will once people have written their worst on this thread.

 

alot of my client's seem to have probs with 1st credit.

[Dowie]

Nco

[give_me_it_back]

NCO - as they seem to just pick numbers out of the phone book and 'chase' for non existent debt! Doesn't seem to matter if the people they are calling aren't who they say they are, or don't actually owe any money to anyone!

 

Scandalous!

[surprise]

I see NCO are doing well! AIC must give them a run for their money

[darling]

Cabot, Wescot, NCO all of these three without a doubt !

[ICO]

Lowell Financial (Cap One) & BLS Collections (LTSB) - Equally.

 

I'll back you up here Diskmandave !!!! Lowell without a doubt, or Hamptons, capitol one whatever else they wish to call themselves !!!!

[den3371]

Credit Security

[Sico]

WESTCOT, oh sod it they all are, especiallythose that are reading from a script, and wont let you get a word in, until theyve come to the end of their sentence...presuming some of them can read.....and reeeelase

[allykat]

My personal favourites are Intrum Justitia and Wescot

 

when I say favourites, I mean favourites to have all their offices burnt to the ground and all their staff thrown in a dungeon, then given personality transplants before allowing them to interact in society again

 

I phoned IJ a couple of times once and they don't even answer with "hello?" they go straight to "Reference number first" :-|

 

I got confused and thought I had been captured by the enemy....just gave my name, rank, number then hung up :-?

[Caz1974]

My worse ones are reliable collections for JD Williams - they send out letters that look like they've enforced things in court & are rude and shout on the phone!

 

Ooooooo and the Natwest collections centre in Birmingham total ignoramouses!! they write you letters saying they will freeze actions on your account then the following day send other letters for referral charges PAH total ninkampoops!! I'm dealing with them now and they smell:D

[sillygirl1]

Westcot - who are now in breach after contacting me about a Readers Union acccount, wonderful conversation was had where I was told to go directly to the police and report a fraud, I said "Will do, as your company have committed the fraud by sending a threatening letter about a non-existant debt." Requested info on the account and was told by their prat he had all this, including copy signatures for items received and I would get them in a week (I did get his name btw) and have heard nothing further - that was three weeks ago.

 

Capital One - Seeing Trading Standards today about them, will report back what they say - but as I am single white working female I don't expect much help...

[tifo]

Cabot, 1st credit, Hillesden, Tessera, Lowell to name some

[Seahorse]

Cabot. For getting robots to write their letters, but without debugging their programmes first before letting them loose on us. Allegedly.

 

Or Maybe Mercers. For pretending to be a DCA, but are really just Barclaycard in disguise. Apparently.

[ajjars]

Most annoying is Mercers AKA Morons - they obviously can't read.

 

Biggest liars has to be NDR. They are full of it ..... or should that be S**T........ hmmm

 

Funniest has to be Robinson Way. Their letters crack me up. I think they employ 5 year olds to type them up.

 

Least offensive (IMO) Moorcroft. Not had too much stress from them.

[djdave]

Link Financial are rude, bullying, threatening and intimidating on the phone, but as I've posted elsewhere are a carnival of clowns when it comes to complying with the CCA and DPA.

 

Capquest kept phoning me leaving an automated message, the few times I did speak to them they were after a completely different person but refused to stop the calls until I got all legal with them.
