How do I stop Creditor Calls At work.

indebtandworried

I spoke to the CCCS yesterday, the guy was brilliant, he told me he would send through an SOA along with template letters to send to each of my creditors - these arrived today and they will all be going out in the post over the next day or two. My phone hasn't stopped ringing and it is becoming a pain to have to keep ignoring all of the calls, but hopefully these letters will help. Otherwise it will be Dee's letter to the rescue I think!

Totally agree with fiveyearplan though - I have my home phone unplugged and ignore any unrecognised callers to my mobile. Except for Saturday morning - the secured loan company called the house phone at 8.30, it was plugged in and after a night in with a bottle of wine I awoke on autopilot and answered the phone! The funny thing was they advised me to send a cheque in the post, I pretended to write down the address and when asked to repeat it, I obviously couldn't.

"You haven't written the address down have you Mr X?"

"Er, no. You may want to give that to me again"

I just paid them lip service but will be more careful not to answer the phone in future!

Hi

Please note that if the company is ringing you at work, it is because you gave them your work number previously.

If you want to stop them calling you there, simply write and demand that they take your work number off their records, as they are required to do under the Data Protection Act if requested. Then tell them that any further calls to that number will result in a complaint to the Information Commisioner.

RAS thanks for that bit of info. They were at it again today, the boss is meeting with me tomorrow to decide how we can handle this. She wasn't to happy about it but I said it should be over by the end of the year! I hope.

I will be booking my court date tomorrow so it will give me a time scale for this to be over with, I'm just hoping I don't get the sack in the mean time.

Some companies don't give a damn, and its plain wrong. My wife used my mobile to call a DCA then they kept calling me, even after they knew it wasn't the wife's mobile, one day i had my some colleges in the car and the DCA ring and start spouting off at me and even swore at me. I sent them a strongly worded letter and recieved communication back from there solicitor to which i replied and we've noit heard from them since, nearly 3 years now.

One company phoned my daughtrer's mobile and she was at school at the time and I had never even given them that number!
