Female soldier affects change in her community and beyond
April 15, 2013
FORT BLISS, Texas - Women in the armed forces have come a long way from the Women's Army Corps since the branch was disbanded in 1978. For Pfc. Caitlan Romanowski, serving as an armament repairer is rewarding and she hopes to pave the way for selfless service in the community and all over the world as troops fight to keep this country safe.
The 30-year-old began her journey as an active duty soldier last February. With eight months of training under her belt she added to the 14 percent of women in 1.4 million active duty personnel. As part of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, she is trained to conduct maintenance and repairs on weapons systems, vehicles, and artillery.
"I love my job," admitted the shy soldier who grew up in North Stonington, Conn. "I believe each day I make a difference where a difference needs to be made."
After years of waiting tables as a civilian, the soldier now spends her time in the community. She judges science fairs, volunteers at the El Paso children's hospital, works concessions at events and assists in local community gardens.
After locating Sgt. 1st Class Derryl Haidek, equal opportunity advisor 4th BCT, 1AD, and point of contact for the brigade Audie Murphy Club, Romanowski informed him of her desire to do more community service and asked to support the Audie Murphy Club as a volunteer.
"Romanowski has done miscellaneous projects with the club," said Haidek. "She is an awesome volunteer because she is willing to commit her time until the task is complete."
Romanowski assisted in planting trees and moving more than five tons of rock at the local middle school.
"This is really, really enjoyable," said Romanowski as she buried her bare fingers into the dirt to remove weeds from the garden.
"Whatever the club needs, I am more than willing to assist. I volunteer each weekend because it makes me feel good. It is rewarding because the club does so much in the community ... it is a great organization," said Romanowski. "I am grateful that [club members] keep me in the loop."
She created her own love story by marring a U.S. Marine she met through the "Adopt a Hero" program for deployed service members. After mailing snacks and hygiene items to one of many heroes, she became friends and decided to meet the Marine who she was falling in love with.
"Supporting troops overseas is about so much more than sending stuff, but keeping up their morale plus keeping them connected during a long tour overseas," said Romanowski. "I would try and provide the troops with whatever they needed: from correspondence for morale, to hygiene products and snacks."
Progress for women is progress for everyone. Women in uniform share the responsibility of supporting their families and the nation.
"Genuine care for the community is what being a soldier is all about. Everyone should strive to take care of soldiers and their families," said Haidek. "Women in the military add to our armed forces with their dedication and hard work."

Dear Steve,
Everything arrived on time in perfect condition and you made 12 Southerners very happy. Most had never eaten steamed clams and some were a bit squeamish but all agreed it was a most unusual and wonderful dinner.... more
Maine Lobstermen cook with sea water for the sweetest, most succulent boiled Lobster. Now you can get the same results with our Maine Sea Salt.
Table salt is nothing more than sodium chloride and drying agents to prevent it from clumping. Maine Sea Salt is 100% natural, containing 54.6% chloride and 35.4% sodium; the balance... sulfur, magnesium, potassium, iron and many other minerals in trace amounts that are found naturally in Maine Sea Salt. Each one ounce package can salt enough water for six to eight Lobsters.

"Yahoo fixed an XSS flaw in its email application earlier this week but it apparently doesn't repair the problem"
Security researchers say a patch released by Yahoo earlier this week for a serious email vulnerability did not fix the problem, leaving users at risk.
The cross-site scripting flaw was found by Shahin Ramezany, who goes by the nickname "Abysssec." The vulnerability can allow an attacker to harvest a victim's cookie for their Yahoo account if the victim is successfully tricked into clicking on a malicious link.
The vulnerability was patched by Yahoo on Monday, but penetration testing company Offensive Security and Ramezany say that the patch did not fix the problem.
"With little modification to the original proof-of-concept code written by Abysssec, it is still possible to exploit the original Yahoo vulnerability, allowing an attacker to completely take over a victim's account," Offensive Security wrote on its blog.

what level will the falcons tender matt schaub at? Personally, i would rather have him than brady quinn.
ramming speed to all

With the coaching change now in Atl imagine the possibility of the falcons relseasing Vick?
Could it happen? They have, from all accounts, a great young guy in Schaub, do they move on?
I know its a long shot but if the Falcons for some reason decieded to let Vick go who takes a shot at him?
The Jags have a possibility of going after him, and teams that dont get Brady Quinn or Jamarcus Russell(if he decides) in the draft. Browns, Lions, Texans, Raiders, Vikings. But a team might draft Troy Smith and Brian Brohm. But a lot of teams could use Vick, but I dont think the Falcons will release him. Shaub is a free agent this year so they need to resign him to keep him.Quote:

I don't see Vick leaving the Falcons. He needs to be coerced into playing a different position in my opinion. Resign Schaub and use Vick like the Saints use Reggie Bush.
There are some who don't like the comparison but Kordell Stewart and Michael Vick are basically synonymous. Of course, the problem is that Arthur Blank does NOT equal Rooney/Cowher.
The (Kordell)Steelers and Falcons are very similar in terms of having a good defense and good running game and both ultimately lived and died with the performance of each qb. The Steelers finally....eventually figured out that a novelty/gimmick qb wasn't the answer to a championship or even consistently winning games. Apparently, Atlanta is content with it's merchandising and attendance(?) over anything substantial.
I guess anything's possible but to me, Vick is what he is. A qb that likes to run, doesn't throw the ball very consistantly and will likely keep getting hurt. Defenses have to approach a game vs. Vick differently than other teams but it seems to me that there is an established gameplan against Vick at this point.
Vick has made it very clear how much his personal achievements mean and even focused on them after he broke the rushing(!!!) record for qb's...and Atlanta lost(again). I've never like Atlanta and the only reason I pulled for them just a little bit was because of Mora. I think he's a pretty good coach and I like his demeanor/personality as a coach. Now that he's gone, I hope Atlanta keeps Vick and their circus act. It makes them that much easier to beat.
i live in atlanta and i will tell you there is no shot of them releasing vick. he is the ENTIRE marketing of the team. blank has bet the franchise on vick, and while its a losing bet, he isnt going to cut him and i would make that statement even without the HUGE cap implications of doing so.
Meanwhile, they have no chance at keeping schaub long term. the guy wants a chance to be a starter and that wont happen in atlanta. i didnt realize until recently he was a RFA, i thought he was an UFA. Personally, i think that they should trade schaub now because it they wait until he is an UFA, which should be one more year, they will get nothing for him and i do believe he is ready to be a top flight qb.

They've been trying to trade Schaub for a while now, but they seem to have the asking price a bit too high. Supposedly they wouldn't budge from a first round pick last year, even when Minnesota offered them their second round pick. The Vikings instead used that pick to draft their QB of the future in Tarvaris Jackson. Apparently the Falcons are once again looking for first round compensation. Until they get more realistic with their demands, Schaub isn't going anywhere either.
On another note, Chris Mortenson this morning on ESPN said that the Falcons QB decision will be ENTIRELY up to the new coach. If the new coach isn't convinced that Vick can be the starter, then they will keep Schaub and that coach will have the ability to start him instead of Vick from the beginning of the season.
Nick, why do you think schaub isnt worth a #1 pick? I read in atlanta that they wanted a 1 AND a 2 or maybe a 3 for him and i agree thats too much, but tell me why you think that brady quinn is a better bet than schaub, let alone a lower first round pick around 20 or so. Do you believe that jason campbell or jp loseman for example are better bets than schaub?
ramming speed to all
general counsel
I like Schaub as a player, but he doesn't have the best arm and needs to work on his decision making. If the Falcons can find a team willing to trade a mid to high first round pick for him, then good for them. Personally I think the Lions would be a great trading partner because Martz loved Schaub as a prospect and would be likely to spend more on him. But I just think the Falcons would be wise to come down from their demands before it's too late and Schaub walks as a free agent.
We are in agreement about them coming down on their demands. However, my point is this. Mid first round qb picks are crapshoots anyway. Look at campbell and loseman. I dont see what they have done that should give anyone any faith in their decision making. I would rather take a guy with three years experience who has plenty of pedigree that a total crapshoot on a guy that you dont even know whether he can adjust to being a professional qb. To the extent that there is insufficient data on schaub, i dont see how we can conclude that there is anything wrong with his decision making that a little game time wont impact. He may not have the strongest arm, but he certainly is known to have a very accurate one. His draft selection strikes me as reasonably irrelevant at this point.
I also agree that detroit is a great spot for him..
I will probably post on a separate thread, but i have a similar view on david carr, who i really like as well. His offensive line has been terrible, i think he is an excellent guy.

"I'm opposed to the idea of pre-announcing potential cabinet members as a campaign strategy. First of all, it looks entirely presumptuous. Secondly, it places a premium of attention on an individual who is not at the top of the ticket, and in order to make the case for the presidential candidiate, that is where the attention always needs to be -- on his or her ideas, his or her vision, his or her plans for leading the country. Also, such a move can and will be perceived as a crutch, inviting criticism that the candidate is trying to paper over a perceived weakness. Lastly it invites principal-like scrutiny of the individuals named. Every utterance, association, position they have ever taken will provide fodder for the opposition to attack. In short, there's no value added to it."
Michelle Malkin:
"It might help, but I'd be nervous about the names he would name. Remember: He said he would appoint subprime crisis-enabling Democrat Andrew Cuomo to replace staunch conservative Republican Chris Cox at SEC. If he's got more like that up his sleeve, he'd be better off keeping his mouth shut!"
Martha Zoller, syndicated radio host:
"I'm in the Bill O'Reilly school that says that McCain needs to say Rudy will be the attorney general and he will go after every person involved in this meltdown, and those convicted will spend time in jail. And Mitt Romney will be the treasury secretary and he will manage the rescue. McCain needs to be bold, he needs to be McCain."
Nick Rizzuto, founder of Conservative Punk and producer of the Andrew Wilkow Show on Sirius radio:
"Considering that the prevailing (and ignorant) opinion is that this financial crisis is the fault of Republican lack of action and "de-regulation", adding more Republicans to an already faltering ticket doesn't seem to be a great idea. For example putting a Mitt Romney in as treasury secretary might read as putting the fox in charge of the hen house, considering Mitt's corporate background. Announcing Rudy as your Attorney General borders on irrelevant seeing as no one is really concerned with any legal issues on a federal level. The Patriot Act, for example, has turned out to be a non-issue."
Apparently if you ask my friends, McCain has close to a 50/50 chance of getting this one right. Those aren't great odds. It's likely McCain will continue to go after Obama's relationship with William Ayers, Reverend Wright and others. His constiuents, after all, have asked him to. But can he afford another risky campaign move with pre-election cabinet appointments? Or should he bypass this spin of the roulette wheel? I guess it depends on whether he's feeling bullish or bearish. Campaign strategy isn't exact science, of course, but it shouldn't always be a gamble either.

Does nevada have something, like in utah there was a place that I went to, had to show all the forms like medicaid, but its like a prequalifier for medicaid. based off income and family size and all they they game me a temporary card so I could show the drs that medicaid was in the process and that I was prequalified. I wanna say it was called the hope program, but its been too long for me to remember!

Sorry, it was called baby your baby there. I believe its the equivalent to california's AIM. Anyone know if nevada has something like that?
Xander 10-03-03, "Tater" 7-09-05, MaKelle 7-09-07, Lillie 6-24-09
I dont know info on it but I have heard Nevada has baby your Baby. if I can find a number or something i will post it. Also Medicaid has an emergency process as well. Go down there and tell them whats going on. I think they will also cover 3 months prior to approval but not 100% sure either.
Since spell check is gone I refuse to spell coreklie
Yes, THEY DO COVER 3 MONTHS PRIOR! PLEASE GET IN BECAUSE I LOST ALL MY IDENTIFICATION WHILE MOVING TO ILLINOIS. and COULD NOT get medicaid. FINALLY did at 30 Weeks...1st appointment...ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL UNTIL I HAD MY BABY! BECAUSE OF NO PRENATAL CARE! Youll be in my thoughts.
I love my life as a mommy and a wife!
Lovin' my monkey face, Kelsey Rae!
Yea its called baby your baby out here there is an office on Marilyn Parkway and Desert Inn. I had the pending "letter" and was able to go to the drs even though I wasnt fully approved. Good luck!!
I had the same problem a few months ago. Back in Feb my hubby was laid off and he was the insurance carrier for our family. I applied for medicaid, now this is a 45 day process. So to the person who says they have been waiting 3 months, she may wanna call and find out what is going on. After a long tedious process, I was finally approved for a pregnancy medicaid. This is good fir the remainder of my pregnancy and for my LO for the forst 30 days. I will no longer be eligible after my 3 week check up, and then I will have to apply for medicaid for my LO. I hope this info helps you ladies out a bit.
Thanks! I did find the baby your baby program here. A little different than the one I was used to. Thankfully my dr is one of their providers. I was soo close to having him paid off in full for everything! Yeah, we are trying to get it backdated. But because of income being there we will probably only be able to do april on. Which honestly everything helps at this point! :)

OH! And for any interested moms, baby your baby's #731-8703. They help anyone whether low income or not. You just have to be willing to deliver at one of their hospitals, sunrise, moutain view, or southern hills. And see one of their providers and they do have a good amount to choose from!

Strange scene in the Eagles locker room as the earthquake that rumbled up the East Coast hit.
Several people in the room thought they were getting light-headed, until someone noticed the lights above the locker room swaying.
Reporters were mingling with players, some mid-interview.
Jason Babin, in the hallway, said he realized it was an earthquake and urged some teammates to get outside. Jamaal Jackson was on the floor in the weight room, finishing a work out. Jackson said Todd Herremans was also working out, and bit his tongue, but Herremans downplayed the effect.

I'd like to see a permanent shut-down of all "non-essential" government services. I'm betting my idea of "non-essential government services" would be different from theirs. For example, I'd eliminate the NATIONAL Board of Education, and the EPA, among others, and I'd make the energy companies comply with the "Clean Water Act". I could go on and on.

I hope I don't sound crazy, but I think a government shutdown might be a good thing. With $1.6 trillion annual deficits, $15 trillion of official debt, and $90 trillion of off balance sheet debt, the best anyone is offfering is $60 billion in cuts. There is no talk of sufficient spending cuts and tax base increases to generate surpluses to pay off the official debt, and no talk of entitlement reform that would allow abrogation of off balance sheet debt we can never pay without debauching our currency. As drastic as it sounds, a government shutdown might be the shock therapy Congress needs to take the hard fiscal steps required to solve the problem before it becomes so big we can never solve it.

Stephnie Weir

November 28, 1967
Odessa, Texas, USA
|Actress, comedian, writer
|Years active
|Robert Dassie (2001-present)
Stephnie Carmel Weir (born November 28, 1967) is an American actress, comedian, and writer. She is best known as a cast member on MADtv from 2000–2006.
Life and career[edit]
Stephnie Weir was born in Odessa, Texas. She attended Odessa College where she majored in theater and broadcasting. Weir then transferred to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where she majored in anthropology and women's studies. After moving to Chicago, Stephnie Weir began performing at the ImprovOlympic and later on The Second City's main stage and the Goodman Theatre. Weir teamed up with her husband, Robert Dassie, to form the comedy duo WeirDass.
Weir joined the cast of MADtv in 2000 as a feature performer. However, she was later promoted to a repertory performer status the following season. Weir left MADtv in January 2006, midway through her 6th season of the show. Weir had announced in 2005 (season 10) that she would be leaving. However, fellow cast members Aries Spears and Paul Vogt would leave as well, and Ron Pederson would be let go by Fox due to budget cuts, so in order for the viewers to feel a sense of continuity, Weir was persuaded to stay on the show until half way through season 11. Some of her famous characters included Angela Wright, Dr. Kylie, Dorothy Lanier, Leona Campbell and Dot Goddard. Weir also gained notoriety for her offbeat impersonations of Anna Nicole Smith (with whom she shared her birth date), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Laura Bush, and Marcia Cross.
Weir writes and produces for television, most recently for the sitcoms Raising Hope and The Millers.
Weir also has a YouTube channel called WeirDass, where she has a comedy short sketch titled "Eleven Year Itch." She starred in FX's mockumentary style sitcom The Comedians alongside Billy Crystal and Josh Gad created by Larry Charles of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm fame.
Movie appearances[edit]

Emma: Spider-Man's 'First' Lady
The actress joins the cast as Gwen Stacy - not Mary Jane Watson, as had been expected
After much speculation, Emma Stone has been confirmed as the latest cast member to join the production of Spider-Man - but she's stepping into an unexpected role.
Earlier in the week, the 21-year-old-actress was said to be the choice to portray Mary Jane Watson in the prequel, which stars Andrew Garfield as the title character. But now it has been revealed that Stone will instead be playing Peter Parker's first love Gwen Stacy.
"The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice," says director Marc Webb in a statement. "At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own."
The anticipated 3D movie, which goes into production in December, is due to hit screens on July 3, 2012.

I would take this matter to court ASAP. You're fighting a losing battle with those unscrupulous money grabbing gits.
In the meantime - make sure your mum doesn't let them get a foot over the threshold.
Hi guys,
My mother, who is registered disabled, has been pursued for a couple of months now by a debt collection company alleging that she owes them, or rather their employer Sky TV, nearly £100.
Her Sky account is in perfect order, something Sky themselves confirmed. They even stated that not only had they NOT referred on such a "debt" to an enforcement agency, but they'd never heard of the company claiming the debt exists!
I wrote a letter, which mum signed, putting the collection agency to strict proof as per the OFT's guidelines for holders of credit licences. I demanded that they furnish all data they held in relation to this alleged "debt" (balance statements, documentation from the originating creditor, the referral from the originating creditor - ie Sky - authorising them to act as collection/enforcement agents etc).
I also CLEARLY stated that their conduct was being construed as harassment under the Administration of Justice Act 1979 and that should they continue to ignore statutory guidelines by demanding money whilst the debt was now officially in dispute, we would refer the matter to the OFT and the police.
Meaning, we felt that such continued threats of court action and bailiff attendance, "personal visits", phone calls demanding money etc would escalate this from a simple civil pursuit to a criminal offence under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
They replied two WEEKS later simply with a threat of court action if she did not send them the sum demanded within 7 days of their most recent letter, along with ANOTHER letter a couple of days later stating that they would not send any proof of her alleged liability, nor of the debt's existence, unless she provided the statutory £10 fee for a data subject access request under the Data Protection Act.
I replied saying that the OFT guidelines for holders of credit licences REQUIRED them to furnish such information for free, as it was an exemption from the usual data subject access requests in that if they want to demand money, it is up to THEM to prove WHY the money is due.
To summarise, they have continued to pursue my middle aged, disabled mother for money she doesn't owe and indeed doesn't have! They have been advised twice in writing that she disputes the debt, and that she doesn't owe it and has proof from their "originating creditor". They were further warned frankly and transparently that any further action taken by them to attempt recovery of monies would be construed as harassment. I did state however that should they be able to demonstrate liability she would be more than willing to pay.
They continue unabated.
I have contacted Consumer Direct who have left instructions for Trading Standards, and I have been advised to follow up my threat to report them to the Office of Fair Trading (who have the power to remove their consumer credit licence) on Monday. The local police station however, says that even under the Protection From Harassment Act 1997 this is a civil matter and no matter how much they continue to threaten, write to and telephone her she just has to "contact the CAB for advice".
No offence, but I've done quite a lot of legal work and have at least the qualification of a lay advisor at the CAB. All the right letters have been sent them, and short of them going away or actually having the balls to sue (with no evidence!) and us counter claiming for harassment and the striking out of this non-existent debt, I don't know what to do next?
Should I just file an N1 claim form pre-emptively with a copy of all the correspondence between them and my Mother, with a copy of the letter from Sky confirming she owes nothing and indeed never has owed them?
At the moment they're just a big, faceless corporation bullying a single woman too old and physically incapable to do anything but worry herself stupid at nights. They still refuse to comply with my/our request to prove their legitimacy in the debt's existence and their ability to enforce it (because it doesn't, and they can't!).
HELP please!
I would take this matter to court ASAP. You're fighting a losing battle with those unscrupulous money grabbing gits.
In the meantime - make sure your mum doesn't let them get a foot over the threshold.
I think this is one of those rapidly growing events where companies buy the debts from organisations then they just try and find all the people whose name appears to be the same and use intimidation and stress in the hope of getting them to pay. Its been reported upon many times but nothing gets done for some reason .. but imagine someone in a pub getting in your face in the same way and demanding money !!
I would suggest you write a simple and straight forward letter, your mother does not owe any debt, you have obviously got the name and details wrong. Then from that point on not respond to any correspondance, unless court in which case you can show no debt exists.
Good luck
Honestly its only my opinion, and doesn't mean its right
Whats the name of the company chasing her? Could it possible be Sky Card (Barclaycard) that is saying she owes the money? It could be case of the a debt (somehow) being run up and then sold on to a collection agency.
Is it someone such as Cabot? Buccanan Clark & Wells? Wescott?
They also said it's not the first time they've been made aware of such fraudulent "collection" attempts. The company is Red Debt Collection Services, Leeds. They are (after a bit of digging online by myself) a part of the Lowell Group, and indeed based at the same offices.
They have instructed Hampton's Legal to commence legal proceedings, which frankly I am rubbing my hands together for. I DARE them!
There goes my theory then....
I wouldn't really know how to advise any further, but I guess you're in the right place. I work in collections so thought I might be able to offer some help, hope you get it sorted, and please keep us posted!
2. - (1) A person who pursues a course of conduct in breach of section 1 is guilty of an offence.
(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or both.
(3) In section 24(2) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (arrestable offences), after paragraph (m) there is inserted-
- "(n) an offence under section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (harassment).".
The problem is that the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 says
Section 3 gives debt collectors a lot of leeway and makes it hard to use this act against such people unless they really overstep the mark by physical intimidation.
1. - (1) A person must not pursue a course of conduct-
- (a) which amounts to harassment of another, and
(2) For the purposes of this section, the person whose course of conduct is in question ought to know that it amounts to harassment of another if a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other.
- (b) which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a course of conduct if the person who pursued it shows-
- (a) that it was pursued for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime,
- (b) that it was pursued under any enactment or rule of law or to comply with any condition or requirement imposed by any person under any enactment, or
- (c) that in the particular circumstances the pursuit of the course of conduct was reasonable.
I think you may have been a bit quick in condemning the CAB. Some branches deal with a lot of this sort of thing and can be very expert indeed because of the practice they get.
They often have contacts with the head office staff of the debt collection agencies and I am aware of a case that was stopped dead by one phone call from the CAB to their regular contact at the company.

Not sure if you are allowed to post other advice forums details, but if not I'm sure a mod will advise
http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/ goto the search box and enter Lowell Group. Loads of info and advice.
If you havn't already, I would ensure to get a tape recording of the call the next time they contact her... I'm not certain of the laws over there, but you should be able to record the conversation so the court can hear the attitude of the caller and the "company" - sounds like a scam to me...
I used to be a heavy gambler but now I just make mental bets.That's how I lost my mind...
I wouldn't be too sure that they'll actually issue procedings. At work the company is in dispute with some alleged debts, and they send a "letter before action", solicitor's letters, notes that they're just preparing the summons...
Then give up and sell the debt on to another agency which starts the process over and over again.
Personally I'm fed up with them, and if I had my way would record as much as possible and try to bring private prosecutions (as the police can often fail to differentiate between the civil matter at the centre and the potential criminal matters around the periphary) against the debt collectors PERSONALLY, rather than their company.
The companies don't give two hoots about anyone, but if their employees are found guilty by the mags (and thus get a criminal record etc) the companies will have a far harder time persuading their employees to harass alleged debtors.
I'd agree with oldcodger that it may be hard to make a Protection from Harassment Act charge stick, but I'd have thought that a s40 Administration of Justice Act charge would be provable in many of these cases?
I'm not necessarily suggesting people should do what I've described above, but it is stressful enough dealing with these people when its only your employer, let alone if their target was your mother. What I'd like to do to them is almost certainly illegal, so I won't go there.
The fact that they are carrying on with their intimidatory threats is harassment and should be dealt with as such by the criminal justice system.

For legal advice, consult a lawyer.
My biggest problems with these types of company, is they have a tendancy to ignore responses from the alleged debtor other than "sure I'll pay, my credit card number is...."
I've got a few cases where we just shred their letters now, as they've been told "The debt is disputed and will not be paid unless a court orders us to" enough times that we could defend a claim for costs, and the only paperwork we'll reply to over the matter is a summons.
I would dearly love them to sue us (because we'll win easily in the case I'm thinking of) but I can't see them actually doing any more than continuing their harassment.
When they won't back off, but won't sue, what should you do?
Pay under protest then sue for the money back?
Try to prosecute for harassment?
Ignore the rainforest of paperwork, incessant phone calls, visits to work etc?
I wouldn't normally tell people this, but I figure I'm on the right forum where people can see things from both sides of the table - given that coppers often get a hard time from people, but then when you look at it from their POV you can see where they are coming from.
This is in no way related to this bogus debt - I'm talking about legit debts where people have been burying their heads in the sand.
I work in collections and deal with debts that are between 5 & 7 months delinquent and on the verge of sale. The way we see it is that by the time 5 months has come round, they have had time to sort things out and get help, during that 5months they have had offers of help and advice, they still havent taken those offers of help, or they've thrown them back in the faces of people offering it to them.
When it gets to 5months, we aren't going to get involved in disputes, usually by this time they are closed anyway, in which case if the customer isnt happy, they need to go to the FOS, which they rarely do. It then becomes an issue of pride and I think perhaps they feel gutted that they've tried to fight something where they are in the wrong, or at least not right - theye wasted time and incurred loads of charges and now feel silly that they have to pay it all.
When it reaches us, all we are interested in is securing a payment or an arrangement. They've had ample time to sort disputes out (usually, this is reliant on the customer doing some work, e.g. sending back statements with disputed transactions highlighted, and quite often they don't bother. Or they don't bother chasing it up to see what the situation is. It could be they've missed a letter, or their letter hasnt been received by us) or get advice, we just want to stop them charging off and being sold - also meaning they get a default.
Obviously if the debt is bogus, or the dispute hasnt been fully investigated and closed then please ignore everything I have said above!
Oh btw, I'm not sure that they can legally visit you at work, they mustn't cause unneccessary embarassment.
Oh, and in answer to your last questions, I'd say talk to them, it may be the case that once the arrears is cleared and the account is up to date, thats when its possible to speak to someone who isn't programmed to collect, if there is a dispute after that and you've paid when you didnt need to, you will get reimbursed (if its a legit debt - this probably doesnt apply to the original post).
Sorry for babbling, I hope that makes sense.
*puts on flame suit
Doh, double post, please can you delete the first one, I hadn't finished tweaking it, it was only a first draft!!!
The debts I'm fighting are on behalf of my employer, and it is the ltd company being chased, so naturally the visits are to the office
I can see where you are coming from, but the attitude of "the time for disputes is over, just pay" is the entire problem. Probably the alleged debtor shouldn't have gotten into the situation, but I've got an uphill battle on my hands where the office was without a manager for a year so the disputes weren't resolved, and now the only line seems to be "Well thats a matter for the courts, we will be issuing procedings soon" but they never actually do.
We've tried convincing the original creditor, but to no avail
We're in the process of taking the original creditor to energywatch
We're fighting (succesfully) disconnection warrants as and when they're being applied for (over 50 separate meters on this site)
We've given up trying to convince the DCAs, as if one agrees to refer it back to the creditor as "disputed", the creditor sells it on to someone else and the cycle starts again.
First one I say not wanted and return to sender.
If they insist they get it back in plain envelope with no stamp and the amount of junk mail I get now is very small ..
Honestly its only my opinion, and doesn't mean its right
Eek, I don't know anything really about business debts, I assume the basic principles are the same. My first port of call would be to spend a (forgive my ignorance, I'm just assuming you havent already) decent amount of time talking to them and making sure everything possible has been done to settle the dispute. OBviously document everything (stating the obvious I know, I'm sorry!) get names, times extension numbers, if possible record the calls - but notify them you are doing it.
What did the original creditor say when you spoke to them? It sounds like you need to get in quick before they manage to pass it on again.
I don't really know what to tell you other than the above Sounds like the old manager left you in a world of ****.
I'll try and explain as best I can:
The debts are electricity bills, my employer is a landlord.
Each flat has 2 or 3 rooms, rented individually. Some tenants have contracts inclusive of electricity, some exclusive. Flats are mixed between the two types of tenant, but the metering is only done on a per-flat basis.
All the disputed accounts are on deemed contracts.
With some accounts they have the name of the ltd company, with some the name of one of the current tenants (who invariably by sods law have an inclusive contract with us) and for some they've resorted to "The Occupier"
Arrears are being rolled forward, despite the frequent changes in tenancy (nobody seems to have told the creditor about people moving around), and include arrears from before the company took posession of the premesis (The builders didn't pay for their power either)
Each disputed account has the possibility of the company being liable for none of some of it, all of some of it, and varying fractions of the rest.
The directors are convinced that making part-payment against a disputed debt accepts full legal liability for the lot. Personally I can't see how this makes sense, but they're the ones with the cheque book and no matter what I want to do, if they won't approve payment, nobody gets paid.
Most of the tenants are international students, so the DCAs are very unimpressed to be told to chase someone in China for the money.
To add insult to injury, apparently the bills didn't arrive for the first 8 months, meaning a whole batch of tenants on 6 month ASTs moved out before the bills were sent, and the ex-tenants are not too keen on paying up either.
Because most of the eventual-debtors are in China (inc Hong Kong) collecting against them is nearly impossible, so my employer wants the electricity company to separate the bills, and chase the ex-tenants themselves, whilst the electricity company wants us to pay the full amount and then if we feel we can collect from our ex-tenants, thats down to us.
As far as I can tell, both the electricity company and the directors refuse to budge from this position.
If the matter goes to court it will be resolved quicker than if it carrys on bouncing around the debt-collectors.
Sorry, I stopped getting reply notifications for some reason - I thought this thread had died!
I called the company back and stated mum's case (again). The guy got really snotty, pointing out that he could only speak to the account holder. So, I cheerily pointed out that (1) there WAS no account as this was a bogus debt, and (2) if he referred to Mum's letter of 8th May 2007 he would see that she's nominated me as her agent/litigation friend which more than entitles me to speak with him.
So, now we're going. He again asks for some of her account details with the alleged originating creditor. I point out that had they actually bought the "debt" as they state, they should have the account info in front of them. Ahh, he says, not so - we've referred it back to the originating creditor.
Hm. So, why is mum still getting your threats of legal action and snotty letters? Apparently, that's because she hasn't paid
I tell this "person" that as the debt was placed in dispute on 8th May 2007, and they didn't send a court threat until 22nd May 2007 (two weeks after the dispute was filed) they had CLEARLY broken the law. Further by refusing to divulge details of the alleged debt, including the balance statement and the referral from the originating creditor, they had broken the Consumer Credit Act - a CRIMINAL offence.
Ooh, he didn't like that one. "I KNOW the law thank you very much..."
"Great! So why did you break it not once, but TWICE?"
"What do you want us to do?"
"Quit harassing my mother, or else."
"Can't do that until she's paid"
That was when I mentioned that I had recorded the call and would be forwarding this latest piece of evidence, along with the full portfolio of correspondence, to the OFT. Cue panic attack at the other end. Didn't I KNOW it was illegal to record phone conversations without permission (actually, no, as one party of the call was aware of the recording, AND they'd already said THEY were recording at their end, making an SAR under the DPA easy access to their tapes anyway).
The OFT have said that so long as I can send a complaints form (which they emailed to me inside two minutes - impressed!), along with the dispute letter, its proof of delivery, AND their later threat of legal action which breaches the law, they WILL contact this "debt collection company" AND investigate whether they are still fit to hold their Consumer Credit Licence.
The guy at the debt company didn't sound too happy about that, and hung up on me The OFT promise that not only will they investigate, but possibly give them a huge fine, revoke their licence, AND instigate criminal proceedings
So, that should be the end of them, or at least their pursuit of mum
DaveG: That's quite a tangle!!!!!! Who's responsibility is it to notify the suppliers? e.g. when I moved in to my house I was told by my solicitor to phone up the supplier on the day with a new metre reading and anything prior to that I wasn't liable for paying. I was even told my the leccy supplier that they would chase the previous owners for any outstanding balance.
Rainmaker: It sounds like you've got them by the short and curlies, I hope that works out for you, please keep us posted?
To be honest, I don't know. It is not written in any of our contracts that the tenant should notify the supplier, and it isn't written in that they shouldn't. I don't think my predecessor notified anyone either.
As they are deemed contracts, my understanding is that the "occupier" is liable for all usage during their occupation, and when the flats are vacant, the landlord is deemed to be the occupier.
I don't know if the "inclusive contracts" actually make the company liable to the supplier, or whether they make the company liable to the tenant, who is liable to the supplier.
As and when a flat changes hands we are doing our best to transfer it to another supplier, with whom we've signed one contract for all flats, and the whole lot are sent through as both individual bills and a monthly summary for all bills (on this system) which is then collected by DD. We can then invoice anyone we have to for electricity we're not ultimately paying for, although the new supplier gets paid in the interim.
Its just the old bills, and arrears that are giving me a headache!
Would private renting be the same, e.g. if I rented a flat I owned out to someone and they didn't pay the bills, would they be held responsible for paying the bill? Or would I be cos I owned the property that used the leccy? Would I then be responsible for chasing up my tenants for the outstanding?
I would assume, that it would work the same way privately as it does in your business's case? Surely there must be a rule of thumb that is only different if stipulated by contract? i.e. owners are responsible for rates used unless contracted otherwise?
I'm only kinda making an educated guess here - I hope someone can tell the facts.
please let us know the final outcome.
as in.......what happens to the Debt collection agency.
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CRAP, SHE'S UP"! ..
Sorry for the long time frame between replies, but I didn't want to jump the gun while the OFT were looking into proceedings.
Not sure what they did with the collection company (read: extortion racketeers) in the end, but I can happily report that since the OFT received the complaints form, Mum hasn't heard from the company since
Funny thing is, this exact scenario happened to me last month with a different collection company. Non existent debt, threats, loud abusive phone calls, telling third parties I allegedly owed money etc.
Virtually the exact same thing as my OP. Dispute letter sent, a week and a half later a court threat turns up (in breach of s40 of The Administration of Justice Act - a law that was clearly quoted to them in my dispute letter!).
Again an OFT complaint, and again no word back from the company involved ever since. This kind of thing seems to be on the increase (two people from one family, living 30 miles apart, with no financial connection!). It happened to my friend's partner this year too.
Makes a change to emails from Nigerians who have recently come into some money after their uncle died, I suppose
Thanks for the update.
I guess these prople try it on and if they get 3 out of 10 people to pay up for something that they know nothing about, then they are still making money.
Pity there is no way of stopping this sort of thieving !!
