We had one the other week that RAS was dealing with, did you notice it?I have answered at least one poster, today, who is being pursued by MH for a debt that is so 'Statute Barred' that it could appear on the 'Antiques Roadshow'. :mad: :mad:

All information given by myself is offered informally and without prejudice - if in doubt seek help from a qualified and insured professional0 -
Very good info with regards to Mckenzie Hall.
Is the OFT going to investigate Aktiv Kapital? Surely there must be loads of complaint against them0 -
you mean expected them to behave rog2
They wont take it seriously untill it costs them money, as they wont have an income if they do as there told.
This warning is the start, but unless the OFT actually starts fineing them, they wont change, non of them will, they cant afford to play by the rules.
This could be the start of the end for DCA's, but only if the OFT back up the warnings, im just not convinced they will :rolleyes:Thats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….

I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Yep. I saw that.
There was someone here a week or two ago who had the exact same treatment from British Gas.
After I told them about that case, I suspect a BG complaints department employee got a nasty shock when they called again.

The big question is will a court act the same way, even if the debt is owed, if the debtor has tried to reach an agreemant, but the DCA has carried on pressureing them, in theory they should, its still herassment, but we shall have to wait and seeThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….
