To the guy above you say - "don't tar all debt collectors with the same brush!" and I note that you look forward to our postings in reply.(posted 7370 days ago)Well here goes,
1:You say you know your business inside out but then state its up to a 'debtor' to prove to you that they dont owe it! I guess like many others in your 'industry' you havent read the OFT's guidelines to debt collection where it clarifies that if a debt is disputed the proof lays at your clients door and not the alleged debtor. i.e have you ever heard of 'innocent until proven guilty'.
2: You quote, 'real losers in life and do scrounge benifits' well that says it all really, doesnt it? You mean people who refuse to pay a debt based upon a reference number and a quoted 'outstanding debt balance' scrounge benefits!
3: The best of all is that you claim to hate the job because of the suffering but then go on to say that 'shit happens' and that you are there to earn money.
4: Do you really beleive that your approach to the world of debt collection brings a smoother running place as based upon your posting i fail to see this.
5: You admit that you only help 'most' people who are honest, what happens to other honest people.
Unfortunately, your comments have simply cemented peoples views of debt collectors - i.e. that most are biased, narrow minded, arrogant and cant spell!
Thankyou for your insight.
