Help again please with 1st credit

[Hopeful1]

I have had a post edited, so i am not being critical - at the end of the day, CAG have had a complaint from the company discussed on this thread. They have to act accordingly to prevent any negative action against it. I should imagine that The Consumer Action Group needs to maintain a positive image to continue to gain the respect of those who regulate finances. I am also sure that it is not the intention of CAG to offend others, regardless of any personal views about the conduct of various companies.

 

We need to carry on supporting BB with this situation by being positive and answering/responding to posts without being too emotive or critical.

 

We need to stick together.

 

I hope no-one is offended by this post, it just seems a shame to lose the united front that is usually shown on this site.

 

Best wishes to you all

Come on Babybear, we'll get the honey soon enough

Just need to be a little more circumspect in our activities.

Remember MIB !!!

I'm sure there is a genuine reason for any actions taken.

 

I trust this community and I have also had posts removed without explanation.

 

Keep your chin up.

Hi CB

 

After the horrific call from 1st credit on 7th June, I ammended my posts which contained an employee's name. These posts were made in all innocence, and were never meant to cause any distress.

 

Any further posts refered to a certain person illegally and malicously harassing me via phone, e-mail and a 'strange' incident on another thread

 

The name of that person was never revealed on this thread or by me personally.

 

However, my personal thoughts are that it is our right to bring to the attention of other CAG members the tactics used in order for them to be prepared and informed as to how they might be dealt with.

 

MIB...Hmmm...

 

Wonder why they show such great interest here

Having also experienced first hand the tactics used by 1stCredit, I agree with you BB. I was lucky and found this site in time. The advice I received was wholly responsible for alleviating the issue and I shall always be grateful. It pains me that we should be moderated for expressing our opinions but, I understand the implications of libel and unfounded accusation. However, my deleted post merely poked fun (literaly a tongue!) and I fail to understand how that could have been construed as libellous or accusatory.

Be that as it may, I will continue to watch and read with interest and I sincerely hope that one day all these DCAs are better regulated.

Zoot, no disrespect but the organisation we are discussing do cause a significant number of our fellow Caggers great distress by preying on their lack of knowledge.

 

If you read the whole of BBs thread this is typical of their organisation and I was not kidding on mine where on my initial call their call centre blockie did state that 'if I didn't pay them £1000 in 7days' there would be dire circumstances.

 

We are not dealing here with staff when we refer to the person known as Mr X, this person is in fact a senior figure in the organisation and should know that if you snoop on peoples conversations its unlikely that you'll hear owt nice about yerself:oops:

 

Again I request details as to where I've offended so that I do not make the same mistake again.:?

 

Furthermore BB is right do we not have a duty to inform the readership of the behaviors of companies & organisations, otherwise whats the point.:-|

 

I propose that 1st Credit get theire own thread like Cabot, any seconders? in this way this company can receive the notoriety it deserves and it will make it simpler for them to 'oversee' site content.

Hiya conar686,

 

Thanks you for your continued and valued support *hugs*

 

I FIRMLY second your proposal for 1st credit to get their own thread!

 

WELL overdue IMO...

[BLADES65]

And I third that motion. 1st Credit need a dedicated thread

[babybear39]

Thanks BLADES65

 

Any others in favour?

[tristar]

I most certainly support the idea of 1st Credit getting a dedicated thread.

I have also contacted the BCC's Watchddog programme to see if they would do a piece on DCA's and in particular 1st Credit.

[tristar]

Sorry that should read BBC not BCC.;-)

[Curlyben]

Should really cover 1st Credit and their "friends" Connaught who LOVE Statutory Demands, they do seem to be employing some malodorous practices.

 

(Oh I love inline spell check;))

[Vampyra]

*coughs*

*allegedly agrees*

*coughs*

[tristar]

Vamp, am I missing something here?? What's with all the coughing??

[Curlyben]

Come on someone pat her back, that sounds like a really bad cough.

[Vampyra]

*coughs*

*mustn't say as I say too much especially about 1st Credit, allegedly*

*coughs*

[tomterm8]

Personally, i think she's reacting to tristars avitar... I mean, someone put that fire out!

[Curlyben]

[tristar]

Tom,

 

It represents how much I've wasted paying debts to DCA's who have no legal right to collect, or at least cannot legally prove it:o and in one case could not prove the debt exsisted in the first place, but thanks to this site I can now confidently challenge them.

 

Still don't get the coughing though????

Big Brother is watching me, allegedly!
