Stirling park have their own inhouse training (which is a bit like sales as they are given bonus's and they can also interrogate neighbours as to your whereabouts) and their tactics stink) and call themselves 'sheriff officers' rather than debt collectors. type their name ib google! how more autoritive can you get! they are scotland based!

they nicely told me on the phone that before buying my children new clothes I had to pay them!

Oh and they arrested my bank account for more than my weeekly arrangement without notice! I am still in the process of trying to revoke the arrestment as my income is primarily tax credits! they talk over you on the phone too! i would like to attend their in house training as they seem to be taught not to listen?They stink!

I read the site with amusement, they don't act in a professional manner at all and continue to harrass and lie about debts (three now returned to clients from Westcot, one statute barred reminder gone out to Nelson Guest....) so maybe it is a reward for the company with the LEAST no of complaints via OFT and Trading Standards in a year......

I hadn't noticed that which is not like me, and concerned me so much, I just dropped him a line to respectfully ask him to decline.

 

We'll see..

re: sillygirl -

 

So have you dealt with stirling park direct then?? I pity anyone that does..I wish I could set up a support group that has been mistreated by them:-| lol

 

This lot seem to have passed me by (so far...) but then I have dealt with the Shabbey, Crapital One (still ongoing) and Westcot and their allies. Fortunately after the last round of letters they all seem to have stopped writing ... just as I was having fun too!

Do you think it's like the Oscarswith lots of different categories?

 

One for the most money raised without a CCA

Another for the most people reduced to tears over the phone

One for the highest number of CAG stickers collected from envelopes

 

that kind of tasteful thing

 

- do you think that it will be televised?

 

Grumpy

CCCS sit on the fence with regard to DCA bad practice, in my view. I have dealt with them on a number of occasions, on behalf of clients. They are funded largely by financial institutions, and their function is to arrange payment. It is not their function to ensure that debts are owed, or that DCAs or creditors comply with legal and other obligations.

 

For example, a client of mine had a DMP with CCCS. One creditor was a bank, who subsequently contacted the client directly (contrary to OFT rules), and persuaded her (by threats) to leave the DMP and pay them directly, whilst they began adding interest again. CCCS did nothing about this; now, however, the debt is back in the DMP, but at the new, extra interest amount - the client has actually paid more than the original debt. A formal complaint has now been made about the bank's tactics; poor dears, every time we mention OFT guidelines they reply referring to the banking code, so now the FOS will decide. CCCS, however, warned against complaining - until we asked whose side they were on.

Well well, how interesting is that! So despite he good work they do on one hand, they appear to do damage with the other... Hmmm, perhaps a certain CEO of a certain DCA has the main man at CCCS in his pocket - or is trying to get him in there? Who knows eh.

 

I do wonder who's idea it was to ask Malcolm Hurlston in the first place? I suppose the winners will boast - "Hey we're a brilliant DCA, just ask the head guy at the CCCS, he voted us as being the best"

 

I need to write to this Hurlston guy! What's his mail addy?

Just hate every DCA out there

CCCS make no secret of the fact that they are mostly funded by banks and other credit providers - it's one of the reasons they are able to make arrangements where individuals fail. I don't think there's a conspiracy, but I do think that anyone contemplating using CCCS should be aware of their constraints and limitations, in order to make an informed decision.

 

CCCS provide an excellent service for those whose debts are legally owed and acknowledged. Where there is a dispute, however, they may not be the best option.
