    The bigger they are - the harder they can fall. In fact this is one case when size really does not matter.

    Does it ever? ;) I though it was what between the ears that mattered and that seems to be sadly lacking in creditors.

    pirates - my guess is that they quote a monthly interest rate of about 2.5%?

    maz - does this really exist? I would love it. I get so fed up racing down stairs to find another bleeding wrong number and then leaving a call which turns out to be family or friends.

  • Hi all

    Have been dealing with RMA for the last few months regarding a barclays debt that wasnt of my making-but thats another story!!!!

    i havent found them too bad to deal with but must admit that the relentless no of phone calls is starting to get right on my nerves!

    According to them i have a debt with them of £1320, this i was told was a reduction of the original debt.

    i agreed to pay them £220 per month for 6 months to clear the debt.

    to date i have made 2 payments to them by debit card so in total £440.00

    i have now had a call from them to disscuss my MBNA card which apparantly i havent paid!!! news to me!!! they have told me that this debt is now owned by them and they wish me to make a payment to get the account back on track!

    i have telephoned MBNA-Useless bunch of idiots who i cant understand and they have said that they have sent the account over to RMA because im in arreas by............................................................24p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    they havent sent me any letters etc to let me know they have simply passed the debt to RMA for them to recover.

    i have spoken to RMA and told them im not paying anything to them if they cant provide me with an Notice of Assignment of Debt and a signed CCA for both of the accounts to which i was told well we wont have them, you will need to contact the people that have passed the debts on to us!!

    so in a nutshell im guessing they can do diddly squat about getting this money off me???? anyone know what i can do next-they are still calling me and have called 3 times whilst i have been writing this post! i have wrote to them and asked for the CCA but have had nothing back as yet but understand that i have to give it 14 working days.

    Thanks

    It's actually 12 working days from their receipt of your cca request (accompanied by the £1.00 Statutory Fee) - allow 14 (12+2) days to cover non-working days, then send the 12+2 day letter which informs RMA that they are 'in default'..

    Couple of 'links' for you to look at, bb: Good luck

    Just wondering if i can report RMA to TS for sending out "calling card", for all to see, saying they will be calling on Wednesday. Signed P. Green or C Brown, or B.Skye. These morons just are relentless in the harrasment of people who are paying on a DMP, good amounts of money on a MBNA debt.

    If anyone knows if i can report RMA to TS OR WHOEVER, for sending out these stupid cards for all and sundry to see, please let me know.

    I have sent by fax and post the usual DO NOT CALL letter, as ever, the tea went cold for Mr B Skye!!

    My understanding is that RMA are just a bunch of rottweilers who MBNA use to try and harrass their customers into a payment arrangement- I am sure they are not a DCA and do not own debts. They should be reported to the Office of Fair Trading- the level of calls they make is I am sure outside the guidelines issued- thats why MBNA pass it on- they can turn up the heat without being personally involved in the harrassment (they could lose their licence if they carried on the way RMA do).

    So pressure them- ask for proof- me? their number is saved into my mobile as Irritating call centre so I know not to answer them-

    they've passed it all back to MBNA now who are writing to me saying they want to help me- I nearly wrote back and said "oh if I'd realised you were calling to help I would have answered the phone and told you how much more salary I need to cover your payments"- do they have a pay increase fairy down there?
    now debt free and determined to maintain good spending habits and build savings
