OH GAWD BLIMEY!!!!!

You couldn't make it up could it you!!!


I thought you were joking when I first saw this thread.

What's next - "The Charles Manson Award" for bailiffs???

The "James Maybrick Diary Award" for the best document authenticating and tracing department???

Who's presenting the awards??.......I suppose it should have been Robert Maxwell.

That's it. I'm off to celebrate with a bottle of Merlot or two, at the "Let's destroy Society Awards"....I was going to say sponsored by Po____n but thought better of it.!!

I can't believe they actually congratulate themselves - Makes me sick!
Stirling park have their own inhouse training (which is a bit like sales as they are given bonus's and they can also interrogate neighbours as to your whereabouts) and their tactics stink) and call themselves 'sheriff officers' rather than debt collectors. type their name ib google! how more autoritive can you get! they are scotland based!
they nicely told me on the phone that before buying my children new clothes I had to pay them!
Oh and they arrested my bank account for more than my weeekly arrangement without notice! I am still in the process of trying to revoke the arrestment as my income is primarily tax credits! they talk over you on the phone too! i would like to attend their in house training as they seem to be taught not to listen?They stink!

I read the site with amusement, they don't act in a professional manner at all and continue to harrass and lie about debts (three now returned to clients from Westcot, one statute barred reminder gone out to Nelson Guest....) so maybe it is a reward for the company with the LEAST no of complaints via OFT and Trading Standards in a year......

I hadn't noticed that which is not like me, and concerned me so much, I just dropped him a line to respectfully ask him to decline.

We'll see..

This lot seem to have passed me by (so far...) but then I have dealt with the Shabbey, Crapital One (still ongoing) and Westcot and their allies. Fortunately after the last round of letters they all seem to have stopped writing ... just as I was having fun too!
