    Dont let them get away with it! If they are happy to sell debt on for 10%, why dont they offer a settlement to the Debtor first?
    and if its not a properly founded debt ( incorrect/incomplete paperwork ) that leaves them wide open for us to use the Consumer Credit Act against them.....particularly when they threaten Bankruptcy or Forced Sale.
    Even the biggest bullies have a weak point.:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Think David and Goliath. There is a way to solve every problem, however big, smelly, angry and frightening it may at first appear to be.
