Robinson Way debt collection

Options
Does anybody else have any experience of these people? They're chasing me up for a £300 debt which I can't afford to start paying until the end of this month, as they have been told numerous times. They are now phoning me up to 5 times a day, starting from 8am going right up until about 8pm. They are so rude on the phone although I have tried to keep them as updated as possible and I'm not trying to run away from this debt but its getting to the point now where I feel sick every time the phone rings just because of how rude they actually are. What can I do?

    Do a search in the forum. They've been mentioned several times eg :

    Robinson Way
    what legal action can you action if incorrect data is held?
    RobinsonWay - Next
    Robinson Way / Horwich Farrelly

    However your problem is not with them per se, more their methods. I would post on the Debt-Free Wannabe board where you will find better answers, this could possibly be construed as harassment by RW and they can help you on there.

    Write them a letter saying that you do not wish to conduct business by phone any more and any phone calls you recieve after the date on the letter will be regarded as harrassment and reported as such.

    That gets them off your back for a while (by phone anyway)

    Hang up on them, you know they will still call you when you can pay, I would just keep hanging up until that time, might as well join them ;)

    I agree with rsykes
    post on theDebt-Free Wannabe you will get loads of good advice instead of just mine:o:cool:

    First leter to send them is this one
    Harassment by Telephone
    Thanks NationalDebline and NIDdy:A:T
    there are a few template letters to follow up


    Then you will will need to come up with a realistic offer that you can afford to repay,

    Always do things in writing, and don't let them bully you
