I would be very very careful about going down this route as it could open you up to being sued by her. Most countries have laws limiting what you are allowed to do when pursuing debtors, I'm not sure about the limits of NZ law, but a minute's googling found the UK rules http://www.bankruptcy-insolvency.co.uk/debt_factsheets/harassment_of_people_in_debt_by_creditors.php which includes "19. Creditors cannot try to embarrass you in public or threaten to tell a third party about your debts." as NZ law is often similar to UK law I wouldn't be surprised if the rules here are similar. -- Bruce Clement Home: http://www.clement.co.nz/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/Bruce_Clement "Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field."
