    True story - happened to me. Was haranged for months by a DC who was looking for someone at my address who didn't live there and had a different christian name to the one who had formerly lived there. Told me how his company made these "mistakes"

    And I suppose he also told you
    'Two poor sods come back and pay (the one who owed it and the one who was too scared to open his front door to strangers)

    Money recieved, £2000

    Profit £1737'
