The Art of Debt Collecting

Abstract

Times have changed since the days when debtors languished in the Fleet prison, but how does the law affect undercharging on invoices for example? The customer may now have recourse to the small claims court but the retailer is protected by the Attachment of Earnings Act 1971. “Wise retailers”, writes our legal correspondent, “take the law on debt collecting carefully into account” — and that includes recent changes in the legislation.
