These ideas are interesting, (I guess that's one way to describe it) but they won't be this effective in due time. In this time of crisis, too many people have debts and they honestly can't pay. And to these people, it doesn't matter how much you humiliate them.
Last year, the debt collection company had a wedding business contact them over a couple who didn't pay the $83,000 bill for their over the top wedding. The agency obtained a wedding guest list and began calling up guests one by one on the phone and asking them if they had the chicken or the lobster, and then asked them where to send the bill. Eventually the shamed couple paid up.
For the company, the new and most popular business is coming from constructive trade which is experiencing a huge slowdown. Homeowners owe funds to contractors,You are not allowed to view links.

One company,You are not allowed to view links.

Official figures show that the unemployment rate has sky rocketed through the roof, reaching 19.3 percent. This figure is one of the highest rates in Europe. Around four million people are not employed. That is the same number of jobless people as France and Italy put together. One business is flourishing however, that business is debt collection.
Would you be mortified if someone in a top hat and tuxedo followed you into a restaurant and quietly joined your lunch date? How about three men with more to love dressed like superheroes asking your neighbors for donations to help you in your financial situation?
