    Debt Collection agency

    I got pulled for speeding in Southern Oz about 5 years ago.

    a month or so later I got a letter from OzPlod saying I owed a hundred dollars or somesuch fine. So I sent a cheque, but they said barclloyds was not a part of the oz scheme so I had to join an oz scheme bank and then pay them.
    naturally, I didnt bother.

    so a few years down the line, I gets a letter from some oz debt collection outfit demanding 500 bucks to pay the fine and cover the costs.

    The question is
    1. Do I tell them to stick it up their @rse
    2. Do I tell them to lick it on one side and stick it up their @rse

    Technically it can be contempt of court as its a fine rather than a debt, whats your Ecuadorian like?

      Don't even acknowledge it. You're probably one of the many "Mr E Optimist"s they've tried it on with over the past five years. If you even respond, you'll only find the 'debt' sold to some chancer closer to home. It's a bit like people who send you spam: the aim isn't to get you to buy, it's to get you to confirm your address is real.

                of course.

                But there are eight states, and I have only been done in five of them
