Has anyone here ended up just sticking 'two fingers' up to the DCA?

'Morals' shouldn't come into it when dealing with a DCA. Even if the 'debtor' were to behave 'morally' then this 'morality' would most certainly not be reciprocated by the DCA.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Hi all,
I just like to update this post every six months or so to let you know how my 'sticking my head in the sand' strategy is working.
A few months ago I started getting texts from some DCA in Newcastle (I googled for the info) that 1st Credit had passed me onto.
I ignored them and have heard nothing since.

It's been nearly two years since I made the original post here; and I've heard nothing since my January post.
My 'sticking my head in the sand' strategy is definately working.
Just an update; and I'll continue to do so.0
