My brother and sister-in-law ordered an Indian meal from a local take away a few weeks ago and paid by cheque, unfortunately it bounced. Member of staff called from take away, bro said he would drop cash in, sadly his mother in law died unexpectedly the next day, so he forgot.
Fast forward to this morning, a police office arrived at their door in a marked car with a copy of the cheque and wanting the cash, £27.50. This seems to me to be an outrageous waste of police resources, I know of people who haven't even had the police call when they have been burgled!
So, are the police now debt collectors now too?!
