For those of you who've missed this, she went over-drawn with her bank and was subjected to 31 seperate contacts be it by phone or threatening letter at all hours. She is a 31 year old single mum from Plymouth, and despite Halifax bank agreeing to waive the charges, they get pestering her for £775.

Her response?

She's sued for harrassment using some aspect of stalking legislation as I understand it (caught a snippet on the news) :laughing:

Suffice to say, Halifax have agreed to settle out of court. :clap: Fair play to her. Alison gal, I salute your ingenuity and determination to take a stand. What I want to know is what implications might exist for the numerous nuisance telephone calls we all get from various financial services companies or telecomunications outfits. I suppose since it never went to court it hasn't yet been tested, but I do like the idea of being able to sue these call centres for repeat intrusions, and to do so under the guise of stalking, just tickles me
 
Try being in a road accident - the bloody phonecalls never stop!! I've had at least two solicitors firms, two insurance companies and at least two intermediary outfits contact me daily for ages now! At least the letter came through from my solicitors today to say "the other driver has admitted full responsibility so the only thing that remains is to decide on the amount of damages you are awarded"...happy days!
 
No prizes for guessing Dom's response to the insinuation. Me thinkz there might be a critical word in there in Kriz :D
 
Hang on a second peeps, I didn't smash anything up! More pertinently, it was the guy who rammed my backside on the A3 one morning who smashed up my new car....
 
Would you possibly care to re-phrase that, Shadz, or otherwise explain EXACTLY how that happened? :suspect:
 
Just so long as she doesn't contradict her statement. :brows:

Another thread threatening to fall into the "God forbid Phil Waters finds it category"
 
Oh ha di ha!! For those who are unable to read anything without finding some kind of innuendo :P here is the safest version! Another car was driving too fast and drove into the back of mine nearly a month ago - my car is at the menders....
 
Not as interesting as the first version, to be honest! :D That's a shame, Dom, that's the new, fast, sporty jobby already dinged? Couldn't you have outsped the toerag?
 
That's the fast, sporty jobby dinged, yes. So I now have a middle aged turbo diesel hire car instead!! Actually to be fair it's quite nice to drive if a little slow off the mark! Couldn't have outspeeded him to be fair as it was in heavy traffic and he came on me so quickly the first I realised about it was my head hopping off the headrest due to the collision.
