FREE Classical Music CD Collection
I received one of those free sample classical music CDs in the post. Then, attracted by the next installmant of 3 more CDs and free gift storage rack for just the cost of the postage, I ticked the box. Every month 3 more CDs arrived along with an invoice which I ignored. This went on for about 9 months and I still hadn't paid a bean, when finally the red letter arrived demanding over a £100 plus further costs if I ignored it. I wrote back to them explaining that I was the new tenant at the address and said I'd marked all the deliveries "return to sender". Finally the debt collection agency wrote demanding an exorbitant amount and also threatening a court summons, so this time I wrote back pretending to be the landlord of my fictitious new character and backed up my previous story. And guess what...

...I never heard from them again, I've got a spanking Classical Music CD collection that I love playing every now and again, which makes me laugh out loud! The added bonus appears to be that I also get very little junk mail at this address these days?

Chances are
you now have a dodgy credit rating though...

On the other hand
I'd rather not have a classical music collection and avoid the possible risk of having two burly debt collectors take my stereo and tv in exchange for something that's woth tuppence ha'penny.
