Just read an article from the Independent yesterday about a debt collecting company in Spain.
Apparently they send debt collectors dressed as Hollywood villains complete with top hat and tails. They turn up in a car marked debt collector on the side and also have debt collector written on their briefcase.[:0] They also send debt collectors dressed as Dracula!
The company now has a 70% success rate!

Different! Lets hope ours don't see the article and decide to do the same!
Mind you, I think if I had someone come to my door dressed as Dracula I would burst out laughing. He certainly wouldn't intimidate me![:D]

Viki,
Unbelievable [:0]
Just had a quick look to see what other Characters they come dressed as and they say that some dress up as Clowns, Monks, Bull-Fighters and one of them even plays the Bagpipes until Payment has been received [:D] I quite like the Bagpipes [:D] Presumably, this is all done to Embarass them into paying something while all the neighbours are watching?[:I]

[:D][:D] When one couple didn't pay their £48,000 wedding banquet bill, they called everyone on the guest list saying they would be individually resposible for all the lobster and chicken they had eaten, eventually the couple had to pay up!

How Embarassing [:I] would that be [:D]
I wonder if any of the Guests actually bought a piece of chicken or lobster to give back to them [:D]
