I shall be watching this although none of my debts are with Marlin, they all behave in a similar way.
Hope other DCA's will be aware of it and take note.Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free

Some other DCAs have also been investigated apparently.
Just not sure which ones exactly, and whether they will feature in this program or a follow up. Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Nothing with Marlin, ( but Worst Crudit/Citi now with FOS) all these Companies live under the same stone.
I hope that some of their staff look at what these programmes wxpose and then take their own decision to leave. I cannot think of anything worse than working as a vulture.
DONT FORGET TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR FREINDLY DEBT COLLECTOR!!!
Get the Guidedlines at www.oft.gov and WHEN they break them, Complain!:D stay wonky :D

I agree pepe. Not sure they do keep their staff - as you know, I live close to Worst Crudit and they are always advertising for staff, so guess they have a high turnover so most of their staff must be human - just the directors driving around in their Rollers I guess who don't live in the real world.Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free

"The makers of the programme have said they will not breach debtor or client confidentiality. However, Dunphy expressed concern over the welfare of staff and said the company is working with Dispatches to ensure none of them are put in danger by the programme. "It is a sensitive business and there are safety issues. We don’t want any of our people made vulnerable."
Shame isnt it, they can abuse you but get scared you will find out who0
