Are you living in fear of Banks and Debt Collectors letters and phone calls? Do you worry about Bailiffs visiting your home? 
...got home today and there was a parcel on my doorstep. It was a hamper. I opened it as, sometimes, my lovely sister sends me foodhampers. Inside was 2 bottles of whisky, a years supply of chocolate, cakes, biscuits, coffee, crisps etc ...
I'm trying to keep my husband off the whisky as i still think that by accepting it, i might be shooting myself in the foot so to speak. Why would they be doing this ?? Banks are tite fisted shisesters!! I feel really thrown by this.
Is it worth my pursuing a harrasement claim with them ?? How would i go about it ??
(also got a really nasty reply from council about ctax in the post, so struggling to stay off the chocs and whisky myself rite now)
If it was me I would still send it back to them though as I would see it at as an attempt at bribery to make a possible problem for them go away. If they were really sorry they wouldn't have caused the problem in the 1st place. You could also raffle it off or something at work and raise some money for charity but make sure you make them aware that you are not accepting their gift upon the basis of settlement and you hold them liable should you proceed with legal action against them. Remember also, these Banks have their "public image" to think about and I would imagine it's a bit of a PR exercise on their part as well as the entire Banking industry would be affected by any adverse ruling in court, so yet another chink in the armour for the little guy and a "jolly good rodgering" by the media. The choice is yours but do what you feel is right. That's all that matters at the end of the day.
