Debt - OFT Calls For Improved Debt
Collection Methods - 09/04/2008
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has warned 13 debt companies that they need to improve their debt collecting practices in relation to consumer credit agreements. The move follows
an increase in consumer complaints about debt collection methods.
The OFT says it has received complaints from consumers who have been chased for payment of debts they do not even owe.
Some companies have failed to properly investigate debt disputes, or carry out sufficient accuracy checks on data received
from creditor clients and/or credit reference agencies. Consumers in debt have been contacted at unreasonable times and intervals, and have been threatened with home visits
when debts were disputed. Some companies have also refused to deal with, or bypassed third party consumer representatives,
such as the Citizen's Advice Bureaux.
“It is unacceptable for debt collection businesses to engage in unfair practices and we will continue to take action
where we find evidence of this,” comments David Philpott OFT Deputy Director of Consumer Credit. “One of our main
priorities is to protect consumers who may already be vulnerable as a consequence of serious debt problems.”
Orange UK Head Office Address
Orange deliberatly makes it impossible
for us to search their head office address in the UK because the law requires us to send our complaints to a non-p.o.-box
address before we can request court action against Orange no matter how badly Orange has screwed up. I've written to
their Correspondence Department (P.O. Box 10, Patchway, Bristol) and they ignored me. Their head office address can only
be found if you search for career options with Orange on their website. This address will then appear in a JAVA box.
That's why no search engine result will bring this up.
As the weather improves the time has come for us to rise up again and hit the streets with the gospel.
The opposition is growing and our liberties eroded so while we still have the freedom let's get equipped and encouraged and
take the gospel to the people of our nation. Don't wait for folks to come to you "GO OUT" with the gospel.
