Couple of quickies if poss.
1. At one stage (6 - 7 months ago) when I was really struggling I was getting too many phone calls = distress / anxiety. So I asked 2 x companies (both DCAs) to remove all phone numbers and write only (both accounts were not large circa 300 / 400). They agreed, wrote to confirm and soon after we had sorted out a plan (for first 6 months) and away we went. In the last week however, as we approach the review BOTH have phoned me !:mad: Best action now for maximum effect based on proven lies.
2. I am aware that DCAs are not allowed to publish / show their business. eg Cars / Vans if used cannot have firm / nature of the business. One company (wifes actually and small cc £300) sent us paying in slips for bank / PO. These slips had an abbreviation for company name. Lets say, as an example, it was ADR. Slip has no indication of who ADR are or their business.
BUT - having paid at the PO the receipt slip clearly states the nature of this firm. eg ADR on slip becomes 'Advanced Debt Recovery' on the receipt. Legal ? Thoughts ?
Thanks
