in Debt-free wannabe
I saw an advert in the paper today with the heading "Do you wish to supplement your income?"

Moorcroft - one of the UK's leading Debt Recovery Companies require collectors to make regular cash collections in and around your area on a self employed basis. Remuneration is by way of a good commission rate payable weekly.

I think it might be fun to call them and ask for details of this great job!

Do you think I would be wise not to mention by 42 year DMP with CCCS?

Feel free to PM me for details of this exciting opportunity

    Toomuchdebt - I think they would snap you up!
    You could use your commission to pay towards your debt with them.
    And you would need minimal training - you already know what to do and say to make people pay up or else....

    Shall we all ring tomorrow and apply for the job?
    Apparently, all we need is transport, a telephone and a few spare hours a week.
    Dunno about you lot, but I have several spare hours a week. Can't afford to go out for fun due to my 25K debts. Can't get much work because the NHS seem not to need nurses anymore.
    Shall we all apply tomorrow?
    Shall we shall we shall we?
    John at Moorcroft will be so happy that he got such a good response from his advert in The Metro paper!!!!

    It's probably a 'phishing' scam!
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    No, lets all apply and on our first training day in the office we could spend the day marking every account as satisfied.
