Has anyone heard of them??
We have twice now got a postcard through the door saying to contact them!
The weird part however is that they put 'to the occupier' so obviously don't know our names!
This seems very dodgy to me so I don't intend to contact them coz I don't think it's got anything to do with our debt or they'd know our names (wouldn't they?)!
It may be to do with a debt that someone who used to live in our house keeps getting chased up for! (We kept getting red letters for him and i kept sending them back 'not at this address'). Could it be this do you think? Can they do anything? They can't come to the house right?
It's just a little bit weird and I don't like it! So I thought i'd ask you lovely people's advice!
Ta muchly!

These "cards" are normally issued out as a scare tactic...its all part of the silly game DCA's play to scare/intimidate you into paying up.
Youve got more chance of Lord Lucan turning up at your home than anyone from these clowns.
They have no legal powers/authority over you whatsoever - only a county court does & it will cost Westcot money to ever take you there..thats why they'd rather try get you to pay up beforehand.0 -
Brilliant!! thanks so much Livto!!

Hi,
Please be careful when dealing with them. they are very nasty people and will not listen to anything you have to say. so far as their concerned they've been instructed to collect money. if the postcard is addressed to the 'occupier', my advice is ignore. if they get hold of your details they will make your life miserable.0 -
ignore postcard as it is not in your name. do not give them any chance to get your name and number. they will harass you.0
