Threat to pass to Door stop collection agent?
skylight
Posts: 10,720 Forumite
Another letter (had a lot today!) from another creditor.
Several threaten that the next course of action is to pass to a door stop collection agent (oooooh, really scared now.....:rolleyes: ) but it gets up my nose that they ignore my offer, send me nasty letters stating I am ignoring the problem and then threaten me. :mad:
Anyway, my point (eventually) is I need some wording to tell them to get stuffed. I am sure I read somewhere here that I can write and tell them not to bother sending anyone round cos they are not allowed to (or have I got my wires crossed) etc.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I would write (registered mail) something like (spell check it - I am dyslexic):
"Dear X,
With regard to your recent letter dated X, I welcome the prospect of meeting your agent, and inform you I am available on the X between Y and Z. I ask that you confirm this appointment in writing within 7 days of recieving this letter.
Please note I will only discuss personal business with your agent if he carries identification, and if you confirm the date of the appointment as I request.
Contrary to the content of your letter I have already sent you a copy of my SOA, and a proposed schedule of payments, and that I have asked you to freeze any interest and / or charges. For your convenience, I include a copy of the letter dated X. Further, I will not meet any expense incurred by the visit of your Agent.
I also ask that you send either your authorisation to pursue this matter for CLIENT or a true copy of the assignment of the debt, and inform you that I will make no payment to your company until I recieve this information.
Yours Sincerly,
