This particular DCA doesn't normally give up that easily. :undecided

I was expecting them to argue the toss.

Could one 'invite' a debt collector in for a cuppa tea?

Then bill the DCA for 'entertainment expenses?'

a company phoned me at work the other day - this is how the convo went (poor girl)

me: hello curlys job place
them: hello is that mrs curly
me: yes
them: can you confirm your address
me: of course
*long silence*
me: sorry you still there
them: yes - can you confirm your address
me: yes
them: go on then
me: oh right if you want me to confirm something you need to tell me the information so that i can tell you if its correct
them: what is you DOB
me: why who are you?
them: its a personal call
Me: Im at work all calls are recorded for training or monitoring purposes
Them: what is your address
Me: sorry daddy told me never to give strangers my address now if you can tell me who you are
them: Im calling from Wescott re your outstanding debt
me: thats nice you have just broke DPA and i told you all my calls are recorded so I will be sending a copy of the tape to the Ombudsman

poor girl she soon hung up

i am sooooooooo subscribing to this thread for when the DCA's start on me!! ive cancelled all my repayments to help save for the fees.

ive already had to call the cops after one turned up on my doorstep for the 2nd time after i told him not to return and threatened me in from of my 3 year old!!!

he actually went to the cops after they called his company and got his name etc (which they didnt actually need as i took his car reg lmao) and told them I threatened him!!!! i was on the floor at this one!! he was over 6 feet tall, build like the side of a house (a mansion-style beckingham palace kinda house!!) with a shaved head and tattoos all over his head and im little over 5 feet and a total weaking!!

i may actually try and get them to break DPA just for sheer kicks!

Phone goes..."hello can I speak to Mr XXX"

Me.."sorry you'll have to speak up i'm wearing a towel.."

they then start to speak louder down the phone asking about security questions..

"can you confirm your telephone number"...

Me.."why?? you rang me..."

(this stage 1yr old banging toys on the floor laughing)

"can you confirm your DOB?"

Me.."cant sorry..terrible memory see, have my name stitched into my undies to remember"

..they then go quiet & say "sounds like your hands are full we'll call again later"
