I had the same concern/confusion about that bit?
I was considering emailing the OFT for clarification, as that would be an quite outrageous thing for the OFT to consider acceptable. [EMAIL="dcguidance-review@oft.gsi.gov.uk"]dcguidance-review@oft.gsi.gov.uk[/EMAIL]
I didn't read this in quite the same context as I thought the section mentioned in the box related to i.(a) & i.(b) whereas h. is a completely seperate example of improper communication (same as a. Use of official looking documents etc).
I don't think this changes anything in relation to making F&F offers and the standard advice still applies; that is that you should never include a payment with an offer letter as the DCA/Creditor can argue the case of Inland Revenue v Fry.LBM & Debt July 2010 [STRIKE]£19,000[/STRIKE] now - £11,619.60 Long Haul Supporter #247
