I have never collected at 6am however I have been known to block a car or 2 in with the van :)

first time i have done it, i had tried the txt,  email and knocking for my money in the evening to no avail.

i  will have to try this method of collecting again as it seemed to work.

Agreed. I think you are putting yourself in a potentially dangerous position ???

could be contrued as harassement.  If someone did that to me, money owing or not, I'd call the police.

There is always some who will see the dark side. Till it happens to them. I wish all your cuties don`t pay soon and then try telling some one that cares. We have another budding attorney in our forum.

if people mess you about, they have to expect you to try to  get your money that is owed to you, lets just say a threat to put me in a&e would be laughed at, i am never threatening but my message gets put over, the ones that usually try it on are women.

i did think it may be seen as haressment, thats why all i did was ask for money owed, the police always knock at that time of the morning when they want to find someone in :)

so you think its right to knock at a door at 6am , i understand where you are coming from about being owed from them , im just saying from my point of view that if people were to knock on my door that early i wouldnt be happy and it wouldnt have been a threat to put you in a&e i would have just smashed you in the face for waking my grandkids up .

DS is on the interweb, I know, but he's probably the hardest window cleaner in the World.

just for future if you are going to collect at 6am you can end up in a bit of trouble for haressment legal times for going to collect a debt are between 8am and 10 pm .
