DCA update (LOL)
now
Posts: 851 Forumite
Well, last week my OH got a letter from a DCA in connection with our Sky account, they were going to send a person around to knock on the door! Well cut a long story short we followed the advice given by our lovely Fermi and boy did we see them run!
My OH telephoned then,explained that he was also recording the call and that they were breaking the law by threatening DSC and that they could only come to the house if they were invited or in possession of a court order (and that they were stupid enough to buy a dead debt) She said that they were not aware of the BR or the discharge as it was impossible for them to check every debt ha ha! When my OH explained that he had sent a copy of the letter to the official receiver she got all hot and bothered! told him he should not have done that as there was no need to have taken it that far! She then asked him to e-mail her a copy of the letter including his discharge date and she would amend the file and we would hear no more :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T Thank you Fermi you are a star!
