Visit from DCA

[iancognito]

Quick question for a mate

She has a letter from a DCA threatening a visit on Thursday, this is a small disputed debt and this is about the 6th agency it has been to and each time she tells them its disputed another one contacts after about 2 weeks.

I have advised her to send them a fax to stop them calling but I know theres a few things she should include:

1. their licence as a bailiff
2. the CCJ relating to the debt
3. the warrant?

sorry, I just need the above clarifying as its only from stuff i've read, never actually been in this position.

I think she should also ask them to confirm they actually hold the above documents in writing before thursday so she can refer the matter as a complaint if not?

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Visit from DCA

I can't help much directly here, but I can tell you that I've had these cards like spam in the past, yet never had a visit. Just sending them seems to do the trick with a lot of people who panic and contact them to offer payment.

I know that Welcome F do sometimes send people around, but its really quite rare for others to actually do it, especially for a small debt of questionable legality.

As I understand it without a court order they have no powers and you have no obligation to speak to them, certainly not to let them in your house.

No Kaf, you're correct, they won't show up, just want to wind them up a bit......
