Today (19 Sep 14) RLP's practices were featured on BBC Radio 4's 'You and Yours' programme.

The repellent Vanessa Willetts spoke for RLP. Apparently RLP don't think that their methods are either aggressive or misleading, and she says that consequently they won't be changing the way they work.

It can, therefore, only be a matter of time before they end up in court. Meanwhile, let's see if what she says is true - but remember, this is RLP, so don't hold your breath - or if they do change anything.

The You and Yours piece was interesting in the time allowed, and Richard Dunstan made some good points. It did mention that the Law Commission say there is no legal basis for RLP's claims. Sadly, there wasn't time to feature:

- the Oxford case, which one of RLP's retailer clients brought, and lost spectacularly

- RLP's highly amusing demonstration of the Streisand Effect, in which they tried to stifle criticism (including reporting of the above case), by hiring expensive lawyers to send a risible letter that achieved no more than giving us all a laugh

- RLP's lies about consumer websites being investigated by the police for criminal activity

RLP's deceitful attempts to infiltrate this website by the use of sockpuppets like Frogboy

- the simple fact that no-one who has followed CAG's advice on how to deal with RLP's aggressive and misleading claims has been taken to court, nor has anyone had to pay anything to RLP unless they chose to

It Beggars belief that they are still sticking to this line. I wonder if the letters will have significant changes from next month. Time will tell.

Anyone who reads those letters will find them misleading and aggressive and not just the vulnerable.

What we will need is for someone to grab the bull and litigate against them. If that case was won, while not setting any legal precedent, it may give others the strength to do the same.

Apologies if this has been covered already, but today's BBC You and Yours programme is reporting about a welcome change in the Civil Recovery process:-
