The revolution against capitalism has started

The really sad thing is that the minions who send out these threats are probably on a minimum wage.

And many of the debt collecting companies take the piss.

450 for a late bill of 60? That's an international company who won the Whitbread Cup many years ago. No wonder they had the money for that.

He's probably going for the line "There's no such thing as bad publicity".

[EternalOptimist]

maybe he was a cold calling victim. and wanted to fight back

Fair play to him. I'm going to try that next time one of them calls me.
