Debt collectors using embarrassment?
I was wondering if there are any companies like
THIS ONE in operation in the UK
and if they are any popular there.
The main difference between that company (very popular in Spain) and a conventional debt collector company is that they make use of people's
embarrassment rather than court.
Thanks for any help

I think he'd be the embarassed one if he came onto my estate dressed like that, plus the druggies would think his bag was full of money and
kindly relieve him of it.

He looks like the b@$t@rd from the Go Compare advert, I would personally beat him round the head with a 3x2 if he started singing.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My brother is a repo man, has been for many years. The best way to get a result is to be inconspicuous. He used to take a dog with him. Is that the
repo man? nah, just a bloke walking a dog. Or he would ask at neighbours houses if so and so is in as he has a delivery for them. Get lots of info on
people that way.
So, I can't see the embarrassment factor working

Sorry about my English, "repo" man? I'm just too curious not to ask, sorry!

"Another plays the bagpipes until payment is received. "
I wouldn't have to pay them one of the next-door's would be having a word with them!
Someone like that followed me round I'd go wandering down some little alley and then politely tell them if they follow me back out they
won't be able to do so next time!
Mind you last time debt collectors came kicking off here (British tactic appears to be "send a letter saying you owe us money pay up or
we'll rape your dog" ) I sent them a letter demanding to prove it and they vanished. Oh well
