    It's the way of the world my friend, the way of the world. I was surprised I didn't have to ring myself at any point whilst there.

    I was a good person though, I put everyone on the easiest possible repayment plans. Refused to do any repossessions for the secured loans and generally tossed it off. The way they spoke to people over the phone was a disgrace and has severely affected my customer service as you get used to it, I'm much more abrupt then I used to be and I've always been abrupt.

    Lol I am very thick skinned and when I phone it just goes over my head but they can be very pushy. I am the type of person that rises to people being nasty and I give them just as much back :)

    I'd ruin you :D J/K

    Who did you speak to ? Some very timid characters there, some very fit young ladies, some very coked up ones as well. I'm only round the corner as we speak.

    Best memory of that place was some boro bloke threatining to kill me out of the blue, saying he's coming to get me, his wife taking over the phone and telling me he's just come out of a nut home and he's a very dangerous man and he will shoot me, it was so far fetched it was probably true, had me in stitches, I'm 99% certain they were acting out some sort of fantasy in an attempt to put me off ringing them.

    Haha it was a woman didn't take her name but she gave me the why did you take it of you knew you wouldn't pay it back so my answer was simply that circumstances change which you clearly no nothing about she went quiet after that :)

    The fit lasses are very weak, they're all scrawny little 18 - 23 year olds that work for the weekend.

    Would CRS accept a reduced payment to pay it off and how much do you reckon we would be looking at on £320

    They wont accept anything, they will take it, but this wont stop any processes, they're not allowed to make any arrangements etc as per their contract with who they're collecting on behalf of.

    As I say pay whatever you can and it will do you a favour in the long run as you've done your bit of showing willing. Just expect it to get lost at some point between companies so make sure you have your records.
