    Thanks Savingwannabe,

    Good suggestion - don't have many friends living locally, unfortunately.

    Will keep up with the walking - I need the exercise. Don't want to give the impression that these phone calls are going to "tip me over the edge" - more that I wanted to make sure that not answering them is the best strategy.

    Sorry to hear that you have been stressed and feeling poorly - hope you feel better soon.

    Big hugs back!

    Thanks zarazara,

    Glad that you think it is informative - and just not full of my moans and groans!

    It has certainly shown me how lovely people on the board are.

    And as for the weather - it was a lovely day until about 4 this afternoon, now it is grey and quite cold!

    One final question, please, NID (if I can call you that!) - does the 8 calls a day mean 8 answered calls or 8 attempts, i.e. do the times I don't answer count?

    Thanks yet again to all.

    Hiya

    Its not a set amount, don't worry - I was using worse case scenario - when they get the CCA - they will NOT ring you, they are ringing because they do not know about the CCA's as yet. Basically, on the CCA you're putting the account into dispute which means all collection activity gets put on hold for 28 days - the odd call still comes through, but in the main it will quieten down.

    Just keep us updated - don' worry about it that much, seriously.

    Yea, NID or whatever is fine, i'm called Idiot on some boards :(:( :rotfl:

    Thanks NID,

    I would never, ever dream of calling you an idiot - your knowledge is just immense, as is the time you are devoting to this whole issue.

    To say it is appreciated is an understatement!
