    Funny story - while I remember

    I got woken up at lunchtime today from an "International" number, so I answer and the lad (Indian call centre) said - "hello, Mr Niddy" to which I said "Who's this" (bear in mind they woke me up!).

    He replied he was from a company called XXXXX and went on to say "Do you know we can get all your unsecured debts written off"? To which I replied, really?

    He sounded excited at the prospect of the new business and proceeded to explain (incorrectly) that all pre 2007 agreements were wrong and the balances could be wiped. I said, excellent news - so what do you think about secured debts then? Surely if they have not got an enforceable agreement the same applies (actually this is true, it does), he said oh no Mr Niddy - we can only look at unsecured debts. I then asked why? He said it was the government.

    Sooooo at this point you can imagine, my blood is boiling cos I detest these scum! So I told him straight, I worked for the Financial Services Ombudsman and was very interested in his remarks and would he mind me using the recording against him, in a formal complaint to the Ministry of Justice - he asked what I meant, and I then read him the riot act!

    Suffice to say they will not be calling me again! I mean, imagine it - the inconsiderate little toe-rag woke me up after only 4 hours sleep! Tsk, some people have no shame do they! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Moral here, too many people fall for their Bull !!!!!! stories and it's when they meet someone that can counter argue the actual facts and laws they come unstuck.... poor lad, he never did get his manager to call me back, shame! :o

    G'Nite to everyone that is going to bed - hopefully that light humour will cheer you up, even the scum that try to be good guys mess up now and again! (i.e. CMC's - claim management companies) :D

    Yes, this is extremely cheeky!

    They must be making a fortune from this if they have the resources to "cold call" people ...

    Hi Mighty-Mouseann. I've been reading your thread for the past couple of days and just wanted to say how pleased for you I am that you found this forum and these lovely people. I usually sit around different bits of the forum, so am a bit off my patch on here, but it's good to see that there are nice people throughout the MSE world.

    Good luck to you, I'll be following the rest of the thread with crossed fingers for you - here's to 17 UE's (an abbreviation I never had heard of until 2 days ago, and now feel as though I know bucketsful about !! :rotfl:)

    Morning Joey,

    Good to hear from you!

    Not sure about the Mighty description - this should really be reserved for Niddy.

    I certainly do feel loads better (and much stronger!) than I did at the beginning but I am not trying to get complacent. My experience in life so far has taught me that this is where trouble lies ....

    Please do keep joining in our discussions - even thought they do get frivolous at times!

    Hi all

    So what's the latest score from Super Nid??

    I would read the last 30 pages but am moving house so don't really have the time......so apologies I know that I am being lazy and going for the easy way

    I see this thread pop up and think I must read it but it just hasn't happened

    How are you Ann? More Mighty than mouse I hope

    How's everyone else?

    Morning Lily,

    Hopefully - I am moving towards being more Mighty - but, as already mentioned,I don't want to get complacent!

    Good luck with the move - hope it isn't too traumatic for you!

    Just woke up. Overslept. Knocking up a lesson now. EEEEK! Busy night on here last night. Jinny you are trollspotting. How amazing.

    Ann have a fantastic day with your friend. Enjoy, relax and forget everything.

    I will post and read thread after work. 1pm ish.

    Hugs, SW.

    Morning SW,

    Just catching up with everyone before I log off for a few days - perhaps ....

    Just a quick hello before I log off!

    Hope everyone has a good day - will not be posting very much for the next 4 days but I will be back, never fear!

    Just wondering how long it is going to take me to read all the new messages when I do log on again!!!
