Worst Debt Collection Firms... THE WINNER IS......

FTW

MacKenzie Hall are bad - I speak from experience on that one.

Also not named are Allied International Credit.

There is a common mis-perception believed by many that Glaswegians are neddish, bad-tempered, lazy, brain-scrambled, unpleasant and utterly lacking in social graces.

It's not a mis-perception that I believe myself, and I actually know three Glaswegians who are sound blokes.

However, AIC staff do nothing but re-inforce that sterotype - as anyone who has ever spoken with them will be able to attest.

Rossendales for me (Bloody Council Tax!!) I hate them with a vengence!!

BCW, I have to say... reasonably easy to deal with - OH had an outstanding Gas & Elec bill from old address which we knew we had to pay but BG were about as helpful as a kick in the behind. They passed it to BCW and we were able to set up payment plans online... no need to even speak to them!! Just made the first payment today and feel better about it already.

Only dealt with Wescot and BOS myself and they have been ok with me.

Lucky me I suppose.

Maybe someone ought to set up a similar poll for the banks and credit card companies themselves.

Mind you there may just need to be one button that says ALL!! :rotfl:

Westcot

Barclay Partner Finance are in my bad boos right now, They passed me onto Allied International with no notice whatsoever, and when I phoned them to ask why, they told me it was because I had arrears on late payments from 2008!I was a tad angry, As I had agreed with BPF a specific payment date via Direct Debit, why did they not tell me at the time it would incuur charges? and why wait til 2 YEARS later, to tell me ( and thats only because I phoned them ). and why OH why did they need to charge me £22.50 for a letter with not even 20 words on it telling me they have passed my account on?

Sorry, Rant over

Blair Oliver Scott

I voted BLAIR OLIVER AND SNOT, as they are phoning hubbie 5 times a day, but if it was down to me I would have put in there CL FINANCE/ LEWIS GROUP as they sent a doorstep agent round with a calling card and gave it to my son in an unsealed enverlope .so he read it ( I was out) son he now knows my money dilema, has been reported to OFT, great poll by the way, but so many scum bags missing of list, like APEX AND LINK.

Moorcroft is the worst, when they were chasing me for money they told me that paying £6.50 a week for my daughters school dinners was too much and that I should have given her bread and butter as a loaf of bread was only

They are the pits

Look on the bright side, it was only her nutritional needs they used against you... You wanna know how low they'll really sink?... They'd use her death... That is no guess either.

Moorcroft is one grudge I will hold for a long, long time. I have every intention of making them wish they'd never heard of me.

Worst Crudit get my vote...I played them at their own game when they got pretty low and since then, they leave me alone.

The Leeds Losers, Lowell, are not far behind either but they seemed pretty stupid so it wasn't difficult to be one step ahead of them!
