Response to Harrassment (continued)

from Andy Turner (andy.turner@ramesys.com)
Hmm, not wanting to rain on anybody's parade particularly, I doubt that a letter for private consumption would constitute harassment unless it was more than 'personally disparaging'. There is a big distinction between private/public material.

However, from experience and those of people I know, any publicly indiscrete acts from debt collectors intended to embarrass their debtors are covered under the harassment legislation and courts and the police take this seriously. For example: a debt collection agency cannot call at your house in a large white van marked 'We collect bad debts'. Equally, they cannot approach your employer, and if (as happened to me) they write to you at the office, you can ask them to desist immediately, and if they don't... that's harassment.

Nonetheless, an interesting thought. Bindman also represents Keith Vaz btw... but he does have a fantastic reputation as a human rights lawyer.
