Arrow Finance - tut tut!!

I was made BR on the 14th March and included in my debts was an old phone bill from December 2006. I had never been chased for this bill (having moved 5 times since) and had never had any contact with the DCA at my current address.

Yesterday I received a call from NCO Finance??? Chasing this debt - with my address details of my current address and current mobile number!!

It appears that arrow finance have updated my details once receiving notification from the OR and then sold the debt on despite it being unenforceable

It's so nice to see one DCA screwing another DCA :D

  • NCO just aren't giving up!!!

    I already told them ive gone BR but they have called twice today and texted me once, I missed their calls because I was at work, hoping they call again so I can practise some of the wind ups suggested on here :)

    Me to, also had a letter today from Arrow Global . now im on a whirl with the FSO, if you ring their telephone number they will do the complaint for you and send the letter out whilst your on the phone they send it out on FSO headed paper givng these people 8 weeks to respond. Then the FSO will go in full steam if the response is not satisfactory.

    So my argument would be to the original DCA who knowing we are bR then sold on the debt and that by selling on that debt and ive now been harrassed which has affected my peace of life, enjoyment of my home as they are threatening to come in days to the home and collect on a BR debt this as a result i see as quantifable harm.

    its actually more fun giving these guys a run for the money than sitting on this site all day.

    one got back to me in two days, ive yet to call them back but the message was so pleading and apologetic so that FSO headed paper does put the wind up them, i just remember how they made me plead but to no resolution, this one company has called 4 times.

    At last i can get revenge.

    But you have to go in with the original DCA that sold on the debt knowing you were BR, in my case i rang all my creditors to advise of the BR and gave out the details that they needed, and yet debt was sold on after that call.

    mine appear to be with lowell.

    In that Arrow Global have instructed Lowells to collect on their behalf?
