Fantastic! I thought I had a way with nuisance calls but this guy's a genius. Bookmarked! I have to see how it pans out.

Crap, I just read that start to finish. 11 pages of the thing. Good read, but I wasted a decent amount of time. Ah well.

             I think I've won.

To cut a long call short - I called them this time and gave them the account reference...

Debitas: Sorry sir - we are no longer dealing with this account
Me: Has it been passed on?
Debitas: The only notes I have on my screen are telling me we are no longer pursuing this debt
Me: Does that mean it's been passed back to capital one or you've sold it to someone else?
Debitas: It appears that we still have the debt but are no longer chasing payment

Absolutely astounded - though, they still need to remove the default from my credit record.

I'm not gonna know what to do with myself - maybe I should set up my own call answering company?

All good things must come to an end, I still can't believe Debitas have rolled over though.

That was an amazing read. went through all pages last night and have been forwarding the link round the office here today.
I could hear a few people laugh out loud.

Sorry?
You're forgiven!   :roflmao:
