    No - reading your (I assume) corporate website!

    Where does it say that they are bailiffs?? And No, I don't work for them.

    I'm not going to get into an argument over this - you clearly haven't understood what I (or you) have said

    I love Michael anyway, very funny and doesn't need to resprt to swearing or being vulgar to get a laugh.

    Good on him if that article is true! I suppose it wasn't wasy to walk away from 28K!


    And Foxy, as far as I can see, you are the only person who has said 'bailiff' on this thread!

    They do not demand money and do not charge interest rates. They actually help people who have got THEMSELVES into debt.

  • It was the media that called them bailiffs, which is why everybody thinks they are a bad company!!

    How on earth do you know what everybody thinks? :rotfl:

    Nobody on this thread for starters has mentioned anything about them being bailiffs.

    And not everybody believes everything they read in the media anyway.

  • So he walked out half an hour before he was supposed to perform and that means he's got a conscience? If he signed a contract they should sue him for breaching it.

  • Well I'm not a shill for said company, and I think that, being honest, McIntyre walking out on the performance he agreed to do is a bit off.

    He's already said on a number of occasions that the reason he got into debt himself back in the day was that he was silly and irresponsible, so I don't know what the relevance of this is.

    Nobody likes debt collectors.

    But then, nobody really likes paying their debts. This is why we have debt collectors, because some people will default.

    This move is populist, pointless nonsense - McIntyre's gone down in my estimation for cancelling the gig at such short notice; after all, it's not as if Cabot are suddenly going to have a Damascene conversion to a wishy-washy, "cancellation-of-all-yer-debts-no-worries-matey-just-try-not-to-spend-money-you-don't-have-on-cr*p-you-don't-need-in-future" modus operandi, is it?
