My sister was getting hassle from them and they didn't listen to her at all! I told her to get one of the call block apps for her phone, so she doesn't get bothered again by them. http://frugalways.co.uk/life.php/equidebt-now-eql#c1115 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:53:56 +0000 visitor [Visitor] c1037@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Q.

With a return address with postcode CV35 9GA. Return all corresponding mail back to sender with a polite note that this person no longer lives at this address. If they continue to harrass you, write a formal letter requesting removal of your address information and keep copies. If they persist you should get in touch with OFT who are already investigating these bullies. Just relax, they cannot do anything to you. http://frugalways.co.uk/life.php/equidebt-now-eql#c1014 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:57:00 +0000 Anon [Visitor] c975@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Equidebt is A high pressure debt collection company who will try to give you a hard time but have no real power. They bought your original debt off another company for pennies on the pound. Ask for a copy of your original consumer credit agreement, you are legally entitled to this. They will not have a copy in most cases and without it the debt is unenforceable in law. Do not enter into any ageement with these clowns under any circumstances untill you have a copy of the cca. Also if your debt is over 6 years old any you have not entered any agreement with equidebt, the debt is off the statute of limitations and once again unenforceable. They try to win with intimidation tactics so just ignore these idiots and relax. http://frugalways.co.uk/life.php/equidebt-now-eql#c975 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:47:03 +0000 BlG DADDY [Visitor] c974@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Good afternoon, Equidebt are currently writing to me, as they have purchased a previous debt. The debt in question was dropped i believe, as when calling the previous company they claimed to have no record of my account reference number or name. either way this was in 2008 when the debt vanished until October this year, is there anything wrong with this? as i do not know if thy have the right to do this, I am only on Jobseekers allowance and pay £30 a month to my daughter as mainenance. Any help would be welcome http://frugalways.co.uk/life.php/equidebt-now-eql#c974 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:33:58 +0000 bawbag [Visitor] c897@http://frugalways.co.uk/ Had a call from them. Said he was from Equidebt at first then changed it to EQL. Wouldnt divluge what call was about. Lots of silences from his end. Hesitant, not a slick operator. I asked if hewas cold calling and he replied "no, i'm not selling anything". Asked again if it was a cold call, ie unsolicited. No reply. Told him the call was going nowhere and hung up. I dont have any debts. CC debt was 8 years ago ffs. http://frugalways.co.uk/life.php/equidebt-now-eql#c897
