Proceeding contribution from John Leech (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Debt Collection (Consumer Credit Act).
Debt Collection (Consumer Credit Act)
I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way. When I tried to intervene, he was speaking about solicitors' letters. Companies use solicitors and try to give the impression that the solicitors are independent, whereas they are often in-house solicitors who are used to try and scare vulnerable people into acting and giving them the money straight away.
