Letting them know you have an up to date copy of the OFT's "Debt Collection Guidelines" can unsettle them as it's harder for them to feed you a load of manure.

    Best of luck.
    He'll need more than luck if he wants the police to do anything more than to recite the usual mantra, "There ain't nuffink we can do 'coz it's a civil matter, sir!"

    Requesting the intercession of St Jude is, I believe, traditional in such cases.

      If the polis refuse to deal with it then make a formal complaint to the Police Authority and the Chief Constable

          You are quite correct that it is a civil matter at the outset, but if it becomes evident that the DCA is making an unwarranted demand and such demand is accompanied by threats (menances), that is Blackmail (Section 21, Theft Act 1968). That is a police matter and any "It's a civil matter," bull should be ignored. Always ask to speak to the Duty Officer (Inspector) or, failing that, the Chief Inspector or, better still, the Superintendent in charge of the station if there appears to be a reluctance to act. Oh, you will be asked to make a written Statement of Complaint. Without that, the police have no authority or power to act.
