    Sarah I wrote the same thing down about DCA's being evil liars and bullies and how you shouldn't talk to them on the phone that I made a post about it. Have a read of this. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2719675

    It's THEM. It's not YOU.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    Send a SAR (subject access request)
    Will cost you a tenner, but they should send all info they have on you.

    Hopefully you can use this to clarify the amount owed.



    Hi I know how much they say I owe them it was the actual statements for the secondary card I actually wanted and then was going to take it further with my ex as i know that at least 70% of the balance was his spending and I was trying to find out if the secondary card was enforcable as I never signed anything for it so wanted to check the t&c for it. Both of these things I cant do as they dont have the documents required

    I know everyone will say that its my responsibilty but I am sick of paying my ex's debt and would at least like to be able to try and recover some money from him and I now cant do this due to them not having relevent paperwork

    I have never even been sent a statement from the DCA as to what I have paid to them :(:(:(

    The dca is ccs - commercial collect services

    never heard of them. means they must be a smallish oufit

    which is probably why they feel they can break every rule going as they think they are under the ofts radar. seems to happen with the small debt collectors

    ignore their daft threats but report them when you get them

    I doubt LTSB even gave the DCA the paperwork on how the bill was comprised y'know. I would SAR LTSB, not the DCA.

    hi shamelessly bumping my post :-)

    I am unsure what a SAR will do dont really understand it tbh also is it worth getting my experian credit report (the free one ) or paying the £8 for the trustonline thingy

    Thanks
