ANYONE forcing their way into your home is breaking the law, the man is a liar or wants to be arrested for breaking and entering. £12.50/week is a VERY decent offer, so do not fear being taken to court being expected to pay more. If they threaten court, agree willingly that court is a great idea and you look forward to the arrival of the court ppapers so you can both stand before the judge and let the law decide how valid a £12.50/week is, and discuss the turning up at your work and threatening to force entry to your home
Fact is, his company probably bought the "bad debt" for maybe 10p in the pound, they probably recovered their money already. If he feels he can bully you for more, it appears he will, but if you stand up, there is simply not a lot they can do.
But then, it maybe a good idea to let him continue to bully you. The more he thinks he is getting away with it the less guarded he becomes. I could say that letting him carry on writing you notes, threatening all sorts, are just more nails in his coffin.
The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
