HollowPoint Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Stupid thing is, as many of the comments indicate on the video, I believe AU has a law against paying fines over $35 in coins, which sort of kills it for him. To my knowledge we have no such law here. I was once told by a debt collector when I was very young, that the best way to get him, or any other debt collector off my back, was to offer them 5pence. The reason being, that our law in the UK, states that if someone attempts to make payment with a silver coin, with the queens head minted into it, it's actually a crime to refuse it, regardless the size of the debt.

You can use £1 coins, which would really defeat the point of it I guess! "Coins are legal tender throughout the United Kingdom for the following amount: £5 (Crown) - for any amount £2 - for any amount £1 - for any amount 50p - for any amount not exceeding £10 25p (Crown) - for any amount not exceeding £10 20p - for any amount not exceeding £10 10p - for any amount not exceeding £5 5p - for any amount not exceeding £5 2p - for any amount not exceeding 20p 1p - for any amount not exceeding 20p" Taken from: http://www.royalmint.com/aboutus/policies-and-guidelines/legal-tender-guidelines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollowPoint Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Interesting info. I think the debt collector was talking about partial debt payment as opposed to full payment of the debt, i.e. if I offered to pay part of the debt, he had to accept it, provided it was 'legal tender'. Considering the phrase 'legal tender' appears to only apply, if you're using the denomination that corresponds to the amounts above, provided you're paying part of the debt that's small enough, the payment must be accepted? In theory, that can be applied to paying any debt, in part, whether the creditor likes it or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref the vid: Pouring the change over the table was a dickhead move, and as videos say, he still owes the $60, probably more considering I'm sure that was an early payment fee.
