This any of you lot?

Now I know that PH is made up mostly of powerfully built company directors who often come up with very inventive ways of potentially getting one over on someone that annoys them. So wondered if this might have been a case of someone actually taking advice from this forum? laughwink

Shame he got sued in the end. But it brightened my day somewhat smile

Was trying to weasle out of paying his dues and when all else fails tries to fk over the guy he owes money to.

I'm sorry, why is it a shame he got sued? He wasn't sticking it to the man he was sticking it to a self employed accountant, hardly a legitimate target for this sort of thing. I'm glad he got sued and lost more than he owed, maybe next time he'll pay up rather than try to fk someone over to whom he legitimately owed money.

I remember reading about when someone did something similar at a tax office so they made him wait several hours while they counted it hehe

Now that's funny "sticking it to the man" and him sticking it right back!

I think the real story here is it's apparently illegal to pay for anything more than £10 in coins! Next time I break a £20 and the shop says "sorry, we have no notes" and begins to hand me a mountain of coins I shall now inform them they are breaking the law. And sue them. hehe

Can't agree. Most self employed accountants are legitimate targets for almost anything, I am sure there is more to this than meets the eye.

Now, that is a shame, I can think of the perfect wording.

It isn't illegal. The limits for different denomination coins simply set out the maximum amount in those coins that has to be accepted in settlement of a debt, and is known as legal tender. The accountant could have accepted the coins in payment of the debt if he wanted to - it is still money after all, but he was not obliged to do so.

I read that more as the vendor not being legally obliged to accept payment in coins above a certain value should they not wish to?

I got a train fine once, very unjustly IMO so I went to the bank and changed up a £20 into 1 pence coins, so glad he wasn't aware of this
