web site for non payers?

It doesn't always work though - we have had glowing references for people who turned out to be chancers quite a few times.

Yep. Those things are easy to make up anyways. So their value is limited on their own.

With the advent of ecommerce and internet,chat rooms,blogs etc. it is becoming more common for companies and individuals to bring legal proceedings for defamation,slander etc.

Once you publish,and you do this with a website,you are leaving yourself wide open to the same sanctions that the printed media would be subject to.

Once you publish,and you do this with a website,you are leaving yourself wide open to the same sanctions that the printed media would be subject to.

But if you place the full facts in writing, i.e. the fact of a debt not been settled, how or why would or should someone issue proceedings.

How would the owner of the website know whether 2 parties had settled a dispute re a debt,entered into an arrangement to pay a regular sum?

The only debts he could be sure of are those entered in Stubbs and if a debt is satisfied then our website owner will only end up reflecting the facts published in Stubbs.

IMHO it is a potentially dangerous area for an individual to enter.

The problem is the length of time it takes to register a judgement.

What if the website was a private club that you had to apply to to be come a member? All the usual disclaimers etc etc.

I am aware of one guy that copied a .ie web site with a .com domain. He copied the .ie web site exactly, but on the front page stated that they were in financial difficulty. The site was hosted in the states by a company that says its in liquidation any time they receive a complaint.

After a couple of months he called the .ie company that owed him the money and pointed them in the direction of the .com web site.

After a series of letters to a box number in the states, he got 1/2 his money back.
