Default Any one fancy a debt collection job in Wales?

I have a motorsport customer who deliberately asked for some work to be sent out before the cheque arrived as they were in a hurry which i did, but actually new they were in financial trouble and had no intention of settling their bill.

Thats not really cricket.

I have had no contact from them and their phone line has been cut off by BT.

Its not a huge amount of money so not worth pursuing through the small claims court but if someone lived local to Cwmbran and fancied knocking on a door and asking for a cheque i would happily give them 50% of the debt as payment??

You would be right so only worth it if you are pretty local.

i know it's not much and the time taken to process a small claim is considerable compared to the actual cost (Ł20?), but surely that is what it's for?

Sometimes a friendly knock on the door can do the job ...If you rely on the authorities to do things for you ...well you'd go hungry in most cases

I reckon it might just work if you send Spikey round, from a pure psychology point of view.

If I had a 4 foot tall debt collector turn up, I would just assume he MUST be absolutely hard as fuck, so Id bottle it and give him what he wanted

lol laugh we may at height, but one of the rumoured 'hardest' ( yes i hate that term too) doormen in liverpool is about 5'2" and skinny.....and a fucking super duper ninja karate whatever turtle (martial arts expert extraordinaire). He looks like nothing. Got a gob bigger than anyone's i've ever met though. And no i cant remember his name.

Mate in the army for 25 years, hardest bloke he ever met was 5 foot and a bit, and 10 stone.
Often put groups of blokes on their arses if there was trouble.
Can think of a couple myself a bit like that.
