Default Signing up someone for junk mail, flyers, cold calls etc

Alright people

Mate of mine has an evil ex-wife and I was wondering the best way around signing up the cow for junk mail, cold calls etc. She is quite happy to play games , stopping him see his kids etc.

Just want to fill her letterbox with crap, get calls all the time and spend her time wading through junk.

Any good websites ?

Get her details on Readers Digest, possibly the worst place or best place, depending on you point of view, to register to get bombarded with junk mail and do a few home and car insurance quotes from comparison sites. I'm still suffering after looking for quotes from last year!!

Register her with Westminster coins, they are known for sending people collectable coin packs in the post, then leaving it with the recipient to send them back or pay for them. If they don't pay or return the coins they chase and threaten the recipient.

I applied for a loan once but then realised it was a payday loan (don't know how I made this error) and that was last year and I still get daily texts an phone calls, even though I have since registered my number to stop spam!!

That's a particularly nasty thing to do - highly illegal, but you'd have to caught.

Every time she applies for something they will do a credit search and this search will be marked on her credit file. The more searches done, the more it will have an effect, as other companies see searches being done and assume she is attempting to borrow big time.

Too many searches in a short period of time - even if money isn't borrowed - is not good for your short-term credit rating. Don't be surprised if things like interest rates on credit card go up shortly after something like this.

Go on any catalogue sites i.e. Littlewoods, Very, Simply Be (she might be insulted by that one if she's not a bigger built woman, though I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being bigger-I'd have a cheek ) etc. I'm sure you get the picture. Basically search out any sites that offer free catalogues and enter her details.

Not only is it junk, it's big junk.

The best one is to order a couple of back page birds to her house on a Saturday night takeaways are also great along with middle of the night call out by a emergency plumber etc.

That's pretty bad and just asking for trouble. Best way to wind up a woman is surely to move on and have nothing more to do with her.

I agree. I did say it was illegal. You would be committing fraud if you did this, and messing with someone's credit rating without cause is likely to cost you £1000 in compensation for each time you do it if they took you to court.

Sometimes in these circumstances it's better to be dignified and adult about it. Let them mess around as much as they want as the only people they're really hurting is the kids...and they will eventually realize what's going on.

Apologies for the credit suggestion. Didn't even think of the legality side of it. I just put it cos I get loads of crap loan offers everyday.

I certainly don't condone illegal activities either, sincere apologies.

Is that not obvious, every time there is an Apple thread it decends into slanging and gets locked or removed.

Bringing up Apple products and how good they will degenerate this thread....
