Disgraced Garda Snooping on Debtors

[Wishes]

Hence the reason Gardai should not be working two jobs. Completely inappropriate a working Gardai collecting debts on the side as well as working for the State.

Can anyone point to an instance where a current Garda has worked as a debt collector ? Was the OP not about an ex-Garda ?

Some off topic posts concerning CAPITA moved to Capita

This thread is about the use of former Gardaí by IBI on behalf of ACC bank.

And the appropriate legislation / regulation of the debt collection / PI sectors.

How is this postcard being delivered?

There would be privacy issues involved.

The problem is you would be the one in legal trouble.

 

[seantheman]

can a postcard be used to collect an outstanding debt that's long over due......with the amount on it nothing nasty just facts.

Are you the one sending or receiving?

 

[Time]

He is the sender.

 

[Bronte]

What offense would he be committing?

We had cases of suppliers putting notes about debts due in their shop windows, in these cases the Town knows not jut a Postman?.
I cannot see a real legal issue here on a postcard.
Worksman is entitled to be paid, asking for what is due is not a crime.

Am I wrong?

Can ye not stick it in an envelope rather than on a postcard?

There be the main problem. They must act within the law.

Legislative change required. NO acting or former garda should be allowed to work as a private investigator. If they are already on the force, guess where most of their info will be sourced? If they are retired, again, guess where most of their info will be sourced? State systems should not be at their disposal.

The trouble is there are serving Gardaí at this racket also. Handy money on the side.

Not hearsay at all. The money being paid is extremely good.

Anyone who has information of serving Gardai 'at this racket on the side' should report it to GSOC.
