    In case anyone missed it, an entertaining discussion about DL BID using Stubbs Gazette to collect their levy from local businesses was on Liveline yesterday. Starts about 35 minutes in.

    FWIW, an Irish company calling itself stubbsgazette.ie will, for a fee, write a letter to your debtors demanding that they pay up and the letter contains an empty threat to have them named in Stubbs. That's all they do - use the name 'Stubb's gazette' to intimidate people into paying up.

    Yes but your creditor has to take you to court and get a judgement before you get listed in Stubb's. The company which publishes the gazette would not a party to such an action so they have no business whatsoever writing to you demanding that you pay your debts. It's none of their fcuking business if A owes money to B.

    It's a slightly more legal version of hiring a notorious former criminal to call on your debtors demanding payment.

    Writing the threatening letter is a 'service' which uses or abuses the name 'Stubbs', depending on your viewpoint and whether you are the debtor or creditor.
