There is one person who has some official looking IR letters which they might scan and mail to you. Change the details to, say, personal inspection in a weeks time, last 6 years cheque stubbs, pay slips, p60's (p45's?) bank and cc statements must be produced in accordance with legislation.

Would also change it a little so that on really close inspection it can be seen to be a wind-up orderwise you might get in troubl;e of impersonating one of her maj's tax inspectors or something!

Just fill in the coupons in the magazines that come with the weekend papers, with amusing names such as Mr F.R.Eakanature.

2 of my friends had a running battle with this and were getting up to 20 items a week.

Just make sure they don't have a weak heart (before you send it)

There's a site where you can subscribe to multiple catalogs. Having seen this done, it's much more satisfying when the persons mail can be measured by the ton rather than the number of items :-)

Fill in enquiry forms on Ann Summers-style websites, specifically enquiring about the more eye-brow raising products.

Its not Dave re: his wax windup

I once posted his number on a sex ads site, pretending to be his wife out looking for a good time. Their phone rang itself off the hook for weeks He knows better than to wind me up properly

And its not the £4k debtor either. That one is such a headache, its much much easier to walk away rather than battle it out

If frustration were money, Id say this one was worth about £300k or so

Can anyone email me the vat inspection forms?

The Ramblers Association started a campaign to ban trailbikes & 4X4's from legal byways & green lanes.

They had a freepost address to which you could send a donation.

Allegedly opponents to the ban sent them an enormous amount of junk mail including phone directories and other heavy items.

I believe they were subscribed to many, many catalogues and brochures, including some of the type you wouldn't want mother to see.

Heaven knows how much the postage bill was for them!!

I can highly recommend this www.spellmaker.com/revenge.htm depending just how annoyed you are?? I have an earlier version which contains all kinds of classics from Compulsory purchase orders (Had my step dad in a slanging match with local MP)OOPS! to Private clinic results envelopes etc.
My all time favourite is a licence application for a Laser Product as you believe the person owns a CD player & doesn't have a licence very well worded & catches out plenty.

At their request that I put something in writing, my girlfriend has decided to spend 5 minutes coughing the measels virus into an envelope before I post it off. We can only hope and pray

I've obviously pissed someone off.

My name is Matthew Binns and I get mailers from a few companies now and again addressed to Matthew Binnsladen

Wasnt any of us

On another note, Ive lost the "mischevious with reckless abandon" skill I so very well embellished upon the world in previous years. Other than a harmless mailer, I doubt I'd do anything 'drastic' to anyone these days.

Its before 9am so praps im just not thinking straight...
