    I did consider putting a bounty, no not the choccy bar, on my head.

    My good lady writes back and says "we've had a falling out and he owes me so if you want to know where he is it will cost you"

    Well I thought it was a good idea however the light of my life said no chance, alas some people never see the funny side to my hair brain schemes.


    Regarding writing to them with the £1 asking for proof etc im just going to leave them to it, I went through a period of sending loads of these letters out with cheques even to the stage where I was sending the letter to different compaines for the same debt.

    Anyway Im sure some fun will ensue.

    All the best

    The bear is always around my good lady, or as mrs phatbear just pointed out im just round.

    The update is there is no update, no more letters regarding this debt, oddly enough I've had another letter from scotcall regarding a seperate debt, but im not too fussed because this one is well past the 6 years, these people just cast their nets far and wide and im sure for every person who is savvy to their scheme there in another person who gets the willies put up them and therefore just pay the debt off.

    But if owt else happens i'll let you know.

    all the best
