Re: asm76's UE Diary

TBH I haven't got a clue how they've got my work phone number. I've never given it out for anything other than work related guff.

Another DCA managed to get hold of my work desk phone number not so long back as well. Had to get that changed!

Pack of pests.

Are you on LinkedIn or other social networking?

Last couple of weeks I had my profile viewed by a couple of 'anonymous' LinkedIn users, and very shortly after (coincidentally) was when the phone calls started.

What Capquest are doing with me is calling my employers main number and asking them to put them through to me. I know they have tried to get my mobile number from reception, but its company policy not to get numbers out so they haven't had much success with that.

They are very stupid, because they are calling my employer the calls are recorded so I have evidence of how they operate!

Re: asm76's UE Diary

I am on LinkedIn but my profile is private and can only be viewed by people I accept. I've only accepted people I know in real life.

The only phone number on there is my home number, so they obviously can't see that info otherwise they'd have been calling it, I expect.

What about your public profile?

May even be worth googling yourself, its amazing what people can find out about you on the net, even if you're pretty internet security savvy.

And of course theres always nHunter as well who can pass across info...

Re: asm76's UE Diary

send a letter to cease phoning work which is against guidelines or a complaint to the Regulator will take place, send to Ms A. SIMMS, Quality & Assurance Officer @ Capquest.

Re: asm76's UE Diary

Yep, Googled myself and the company I work for. Nothing comes up. There are no work related phone numbers on LinkedIn. At all.

I've had no calls for a few days now, before I'd get at least one a day. So hopefully it has stopped now.

Just wait for the next letter, I guess!

Re: asm76's UE Diary

All quiet on the Crapquest front

Re: asm76's UE Diary

Still quiet.

I am now "debt free". I applied for, and got, a Tesco credit card with a £4500 limit on Friday. I'll be using it for work expenses and paying it off in full each month when reclaim them from the company I work for.

Get some good stuff built up ready for a mortgage next year.

Re: asm76's UE Diary

Had a couple of phone calls from Capquest, which I expected as my home phone number was put on the credit card application I made - obviously an National Hunter job!

Anyway, I missed the first two calls and caught the 3rd one. I politely informed them I wouldn't be confirming any security details over the phone, after he'd tried to explain the DPA to me. He said "OK, thanks. Bye" and hung up.

Not had anything since.

This one is a "Letter Before Action" saying my account will be progressed to their pre-litigation department, mentions their solicitors MAY commence legal action "around 8th June 2012" (yesterday lol!). Mentions "Order of the Court", "Warrant of Execution" and then goes on to threaten all the things Bailiffs will do to me, removing my possessions, extra fees etc. etc. Then they tell me that to avoid this action I should call them.

It's "not a gimmick" or "nothing sinister" and I can "save a considerable amount of money doing so".

And, if I contact them before the 16th, they will offer a settlement figure (around £1300 less than the original balance - yet I've already paid more than that off in installments since 2008 - they are chasing the original amount and haven't taken into account what I've already paid!!) to clear the account, which I can pay in 3 monthly installments.
