"GILLIAN, don't hide from your free Experian credit report"

Says today's load of aggressive spam from this supposedly reputable company.

For the record, I'm not hiding from it. I just don't want it any more since I found out they 'needed' my debit card details and a monthly payment setting up in order to give me this 'free' thing.

Pah. It's not credit anyway. It's debt. And I don't want to take on any debt, so why should I care whether they want to let me or not?

I think I might spam them back.

I'm not hiding from it. But since you seem to mysteriously need my
credit/debit card details to give this 'free' thing to me, I don't want it any more.
Stop hassling me, or I'll report you to the relevant authorities.

Sold my details on yet?

So, it's ok to be rude and harrass people mercilessly, as long as it's an automated message. The computer's fault, I suppose!

I'm just thinking, that email title made my eyebrows rise. A more vulnerable or paranoid person might have been bullied into parting with payments by it. And this is the mainstream, 'acceptable' face of British business.

It's not a good way to treat people, but it's routine and endemic now.
