Sorry, am in good ranting form and need to let off some steam....:mad: :mad:
How cheeky are DCA's? Constantly ringing me at work (luckily I have voicemail so ignore the phone until the vm picks it up) but they are now witholding their numbers, leaving messages on my home, work, and mobile answerphones pretending that they have important messages for me and to call them back - do they think I am stupid? One even left a message to say they were a friend of mine. Another said that they were going to take stuff from my mum, which is fine if they want to pay for a flight to the US and pay the cargo costs to ship all her stuff back but apparently they said they know where she lives. Good for them, I say! Not speaking to them on the phone, actually quite fun listening to their threats, espcially if they are willing to fly to the States to recover their money!! Cost them a lot more than 1.5k for it all.
Anyway, posted on here a few days ago. Am on a DMP with CCCS but a certain few "creditors" can't seem to accept it. The funny thing is, the creditors that I owe the most to have been largely quiet, but it's the ones that I owe the least to that seem to have a problem. Right, rant mostly over now! Apologies for this, needed to let off steam.

Only been on DMP a couple of months but I give them as good as they give. I'm not bothered about them, it's just their attitudes and lies. Luckily I'm quite strong but it's the more vulnerable that they prey on that concerns me. They managed to last about 30 seconds before putting the phone down on me which is the longest yet! I did say that if they were going to the US to remove my mums stuff that I needed a holiday and hadnt seen mum for a while so I'd go with them. Not sure they appreciated that very much.
