| 474868 | 2006-08-15 23:23:00 | ... but if you owe money you owe money... Precisely. They are NOT going to pester everybody (a la spam) but will only target people who owe money - and have presumably owed this money for some time if it has reached this level. So, really, the warning is completely unnecessary. :2cents: |

My experience of one once was that I [owed] a couple of hundred dollars which I was disputing. The collector tried to repossess the goods, failed despite his hugely threatening manner, and in the end burgled my house and swiped a coin collection, although unvalued, had a probable value of several grand. They're mongrels of the lowest kind. |

| 474870 | 2006-08-16 01:39:00 | I don't always answer a knock at my door. If I'm not expecting someone, I simply ignore it. Anyone entering my house w/o my permission, regardless of who they claim to be, will be "dealt" with as a home invader, and I am a second degree black belt with little hesitation in protecting my own. I have several weapons close at hand and would shoot first, claim self defense later. When you become aware of some guy climbing through your window, who's to know he isn't an armed thug looking to do you harm? I currently have no outstanding debts that I am aware of, but I have had flatmates in the past that may have used my home address, and mistakes can be made. Any debt collector (or anyone else for that matter) that tries to enter my house will have a very bad day, and will not get any warning before hand. Why would you give an intruder the chance to shoot you first? They shouldn't be there to begin with. I would suggest that forced repossession attempts are a very risky business. |

| 474871 | 2006-08-16 02:52:00 | Totally agree with all that, Random. I've also got a few years of martial arts training from my younger years, and I'd certainly do unto the twit whatever I could to prevent him from breathing... um I mean from entering, if I caught him in the process. | Greg (193) | ||
