Today, the property I live in recieved a Telemessage, addressed to the Occupier, informing me of an overlooked Npower account. I rang the number on the letter, although worried that it might have been routed via Bangladesh at £2.50 per minute, (Ilook forward to seeing my phone bill.) The lady at the other end was pleasant and all the facts seem to tie up. I felt that she made a good representation of Wilcot.However I was concerned that the Agreement between Npower and Wilcot came into being approximately 1 month after I had arranged a direct debit agreement to Said Npower. The Rep at Wilcot then asked me to provide proof of all my payments made. I am dissapointed of the fact that the burden of proof is upon myself and also that the previous occupier (Known to have done a midnight flit) has left me the dubious pleasure of an unpaid bill to my property. I have to confirm with Npower exactly what the circumstances are, and will do tomorrow. So why am I here? Call me suspicious but i typed into Google "temessage Scam", and lo and behold was brought here. Hmmm thinks I, must be something in it. I feel personally aggrieved that people from Wilcot choose to post responses of a defamatory nature in this forum, assuming that anyone who recieves correspondance from themselves must be :(posted 7358 days ago)A: Unemployed B: In Debt to the eyeballs C: that thick skined that a slur on their character will not offend.
I understand that employees of Wilcot have the right to reply, but to get involved in childish name calling, hardly helps the image of a company that appears to have a rocky image to start with.
I anticipate a torrent of abuse and spam e-mails, from those within the Debt collecting community who feel the need to seek retribution via the internet.
People do move, fraud can happen, and The Occupier is not the name I was Christened with. Funny how debt collectors never get called in when any company can make contact with an individual, like before they emigrate...
