    Dear Sir or Madam

    I look forward to receiving a doorstep visit from you to discuss my alleged debt.

    Bert is excited too - he just loves visitors.

    Yours faithfully

    My dog Giselle wonders if she can have Bert's 'phone number? She likes the hunky ones! :D

    Good luck Milz - hope it all gets sorted out OK. Not a nice situation to have to face. x

    Ruth I can't stand these DCA's got another letter that came through from somone else, we can confirm that you live at this address etc. Then they called at work! I just turned around and said this is a business number and this named person does not work here!

    Stupid people. Where the hell do they get the contact numbers from and even correspondence addresses from?

    I've had them too. Trying to convince them that I'm not a middle-aged ne'er-do-well called Roy is an experience I've "enjoyed" many times... They can trace people via electoral rolls, other applications, etc. It's suprising how easy it can be sometimes... :(
