    Doing a search for roxburghe debt collectors suggests they have a, treads carefully, reputation...for instance:
    SayNoTo0870 in 2006
    Consumer Forums in 2009
    Pepipoo.com in 2007

    None of the quoted items actually ended with Roxburgh actually doing anything more than send a few irritating letters, tha'st all they can do. If you do owe anything they may well remind you to pay, As you don't OWE the ppc anything they can be ignored as previously advised. They work on scaring people into believing that they are in the wrong and should pay.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    You shouldn't be so hasty

    Check the title of thread - four words, 2 mistakes [hence my prev posting], one of the four words [and one of the mis-spellings] is ................................




    .......wait for it...................




    ....any minute now...........



    ...can you guess what it might be.............





    COMMING!!!!!!!! [hence my previous previous posting - ie spellchecker]



    [I deliberately re-use the 'error' to nod to the 'error' - otherwise the posting wouldn't make sense]


    Obviously far too subtle for your needs [again] and way, way over your head [just like the last time...].



    Do try and keep up.:D:D


    No apology necessary, just so long as you know you're sorry and you've learnt from your mistake; that's enough for me.

    Nice try to attempt to cover up a spelling error on your part ;)
    If you are going to complain about spelling in other posts, make sure you don't make basic errors in your own.

    This happened to the Daily Mail just recently. They had a go at the BBC for having "dammed" on a caption, instead of "damned". It didn't take too long for eagle-eyed readers to spot several spelling and grammatical errors on the Mail's website.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Dear oldone,

    Especially for you, a quote: "Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

    Here's a link the last time I was too subtle for you, and you jumped in [with both feet] to point out my 'mistakes' [which yet again were the same as in the thread title, gee, it's almost like it was planned]

    Bizarrely, your senses of humour and irony have both shown no signs of developing in the meantime.

    Must try harder. And again, no need for thanks. To know I have enlightened your dark world, even fleetingly, is enough reward for me.

    Enough bickering and nit picking with dullards, onward and upwards, I have higher work to do............[did I just say that out loud??]
