cant pay we'll take away compo

broswing bbc news and came across this:

quite a fan of the show, think most of them do a good job in difficult circumstances. the way these people where used for entertainment purposes maybe is a bit low but welcome to trash tv!, wont be the first or last.

the fact theyve been awarded compo is madness and opens a massive can of worms. how does this effect traffic cops etc, or because theyve committed an offence wont it count?

do you think they'll pay the arreas with the 20k compo? me, id start another claim against them now theyve got assests to pay with!

I hope they use the money to pay the landlord who was out out pocket by their selfishness

I have watched pretty much every episode, and not once have i felt any symphony for a debtor.

They bring it on themselves.

this was pretty much my take on it.

whereas you can have empathy for someone falling on hard time through illness etc you cant have something for nothing. they wld have been several letters and notices before the ballifs came.

someome else was poaying for their house, and whereas alot of landlords are scum themselves - see nightmare tennents and landlords, another quaility channel 5 show - in alot of cases its just your normal joe renting out 1 house, accidental landlords.
