Hello to all you nice people ,
I sent away the statutory declaration(form 17) today by special delivery (due to the posties threatening to strike again) so just waiting on letter from the AIB. Funny story - I am getting constant phone calls from DLC (presumably to find out why i have stopped paying them) and its always the same call structure so i decided to have a bit of fun at their expense when they asked if they could speak to me i say thats me then when they say "can you confirm your date of birth?" i then say "i can" they then say "you can or you wont?" i say "thats for you to decide" tey then say " i guess there's no point carrying on with the conversation" i say "correct" then they hang up! then they phone back later and its the same convo :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I will talk to them but not until i get the letter telling me i'm bankrupt !

I bet they can't wait until your number comes up in the queue for another round eh?There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.0

lol ! i take great pride in doing to them what they have being doing to me for years ! besides they say they're a debt collection company but they could be anyone. Also the loony that has my name and number to work with is losing money and costing their company a few bob by sticking to their "security questions" script :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D:rotfl::j:j:T:T
I love being in control and i am feeling very smug atm !0 -
