uty6543 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So it seems the kidnapped man brought these events upon himself. Not the right way to get a debt re-payed but no sympathy for the so called victim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I bet these debt collectors aren't licenced or registered. Normally (in civilised countries) staff (process servers/debt collectors) at debt collecting companies have undergone training, extensive criminal history and working with children checks. Normal procedure is to send correspondence and to arrange an appropriate payment plan, failing that the process servers will serve a summons and the matter is referred to the courts. Kidnapping is definitely not an acceptable or legal method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charges such as use threatening words and unlawful assault (placing a person in fear of being assaulted) All an agent can do is request and if the person refuses then civil court action is instigated. Agents are only the 1st step prior to an expensive legal process. Anyway that is Australia and getting a little off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little mary sunshine Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Attempt at a new kind of scam here in Thailand. Make a moint that this will not be tolerated. The Police and Immigration should, if found guilty put them in the Bangkok Hilton for a minimum of 10 years....Just to make a statement this will not be tolerated.

Get a life LMS!!! Only 20? Oh the poor guy. He didn't know what he was doing he is only a child. There are men his age fighting and dying for their country in place like afganistan. Mature responsible men at 20 yrs of age but I guess this is Thailand where they don't take personable responsibility for their own actions. Look at the Red Bull guy, 29 yrs old and still considered a poor kid who needs a hug and mummy to wipe away the tears because the bad man yelled at him for making a mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Australia, but in the UK ,if you take someone to court for non payment of debt, you will be wasting your time. Nor so. County Court or the Small Claims Court judgements are noted. If the debtor does not pay up within 28 daysof the judgement being handed down then notation of the case is entered in the records of the credit history companies and remains there for 6 years or until the Court authorises the amendment of the record. Thus not settling debts means that avenues of credit are blocked. I agree that it doesn't get your money back in all cases. At the court hearing the defendant has, on oath, to show all their sources of income and outstanding debts. When a scroat that I unwisely lent money to defaulted and I took legal action, I made a note of the creditors that included two banks and I informed them of the judgement. Most loans and advances by financial institutions have a condition that the debt must be immediately repaid if the debtor has a court judgement against them. Now that I had two banks working for me the money was received within a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagwan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 This is the Ukranian mafia , same same as Russian Not a student of history are we? Do research the fact that that Stalin took all the produce that the Ukraine produced and left those that grew it left to starve to death - as many did. You'd go many a country mile to find a Ukrainian that harboured rosy thoughts against Russia, and Russians. You can of course prove the correctness of your facile statement. You might also like to make clear your interpretation of that most overused word 'mafia'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little mary sunshine Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Can't believe anyone would have sympathy for these Criminals. Attempting to rob B1M ?? and now some ass holes on this forum think they should not be held responsible for their actions because of their age; let me tell you 20 years old is not kid today. These MEN must learn that this is a crime, let them get away with this, and they will be killing people with guns in a year, Get a Life People, this is not a joke or prank by a 12 year old, these are YOUNG CRIMINALS...Put 'em in jail for a long, long time. Minimum 10-15 years....lesson learned, the hard way. Shouldn't kidnapping be a charge too !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 A very simple and clear message here, very well stated by Shakespere I believe. "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" ! and yes, it is pointless trying to recover debts through the legal system. The court decision will be 100% in your favour but the court does not enforce payment hence back to square one. Best thing by far, when someone asks for money, just say you are sorry, you,d like to lend, but all your money is tied up in cash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
