As an American whose airlines are protected in every fucking possible way by our government it's so cathartic to know in other places they can have their kneecaps broken.
Well that is what happens when the government is empowered and fully funded. But you they cut the funds to the irs. So why would it takes forever to get your tax refund. Hmmm let me guest. Not one to look at the tax return. Hummm!!! I wish I am joking. But people want less tax but more benefits. Left n right.
Yeah, LLC is so stupid; also with the amount of lawyers these companies have is laughable. When the lady from McDonald's spilled coffee on her and had to have skin grafts because it was that hot. McDonald's ran the biggest ad campaign against her. I knew more about her than the actual incident because McDonald's paid millions to cover this up.
@@nostro1940 It depends, only if the flight is overbooked, if it is delayed or cancelled your out of luck. Also you would have to pay a lawyer out of pocket to bring the case in front of a judge, so unless its a clear case of the airline just refusing to refund a customer, its really not worth it.
For those saying that this should be doable in the USA regarding an airline, it is doable. There are only a few differences. The biggest one is that you do not have to go to a high court to get a judgement, your state court judgement is enough. The second big difference is rather than hiring out a private company to collect, you hire the local Sheriff's office which is LEO. That is because in the USA, you might get shot doing this type of work (as repo men who do self-help repos what happens). During the financial crisis, some banks were sued for their practices and the plaintiffs won their cases. There is one out of Pennsylvania where the bank foreclosed because the debtor refused to use their insurance company and the debtor sued back because the bank did not follow federal law. The debtor won but the bank refused to pay the judgement. The debtor then contacted the local sheriff's office, went to a branch of the bank with a U-Haul and would have started to take furniture except the bank manager locked them out. Took about 2 hours but the bank cut the debtor a check for the judgement plus costs.

Next up: Airline gate manager sues employer for 3,000 # when airline doesn’t reimburse her for paying high court judgement out of her own pocket to re-open Thief-row to NYC gate.
If I were that manager there is NO WAY I would have paid that out of my pocket. How stupid can she be. I'd have calmly sat in my office by the phone and let the company handle it themselves. That lady had no business being a manager if a piece of paper work damn near gives her a panic attack, and then she makes dumb decisions like handing over the kids' shoe money. Lord.
@@rustyneuron could have been worried about her job position as if she didn't 'fix' the issue, even if it wasn't directly 'her fault' she may face backlash for not fixing it fast(er) if she had waited for the company. Airports are fast pace places and the manager probably was well aware that delaying the plane would mean the need for more refunds/compensations for delays and fines for the company, so she may have thought it would affect her if she didn't handle the issue. Also this isn't a commonly occurring issue so there probably was no protocol or procedure she knew of to follow seeing as how she didn't believe they had the authority initially to halt check ins, so lack of training by delta as they probably have a lot of people seeking refunds so knowing what happens if someone comes to collect and how to handle the situation should be a situation for training. Thus overall I think she did it herself because it would be 'easier' for her and the company (tho it was stupid as she did it without authorization/probably wouldn't get the money back if they weren't eager to part with it for that one person who the debt collectors were originally there for and she was never 'told' to do it so it would seem she did it for her own selflessness or wahtever).
"It may seem slightly disproportionate to seize a 50 million pound asset for a debt that's only a few thousand pounds" Yeah but there's nothing better than reminding an airline that makes money hand over fist to stop trying to scam people out of a few thousand dollars when you have planes worth millions that can be seized because of ignoring your debts.
The Airlines in Canada get a way with it. Our government organizations say please and nothing happens. The Airlines and other big corporations got big hand outs during covid. Meanwhile the Canadian government has gone after small businesses and individuals that make less than 70,000 and even ones than make less than 40,000. Rents gave sky rocketed to 1500 for a 600 sq ft flat in smaller cities and rural areas to between 2300 and 3000 for a one bedroom in Toronto plus utilities. Still the Canadian government goes after them as they can't afford lawyers. The corporations that falsely claimed money during covid from the government get a free pass in their debts as the government claims it would be to costly since the larger companies and corporations have lawyers. So the rich get richer in Canada.
This stuff is illegal in the United States. It has to be THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS for any action to be taken at all. Bail bonds is the closest but they don't have the same authority as the police. Some do. Most don't.
@@Zachary.999. in my country it's very similar to the UK but here it's the courts that decide to seize assets either as leverage or to pay it off. One time a court ordered that an entire fishing trawler worth millions of dollars over a debt of probably 6000 dollars, they paid their debt real quick.
I love this! Delta was getting hundreds of millions of covid payments and is the most profitable airline in the world. And yet they have zero problem screwing their customers.
Their workers too, the government gave them money specifically to keep their workers on payroll and then they laid them all off them like 2 weeks after
@@memphiskyle yeah, blame it all on the debt collectors & not on the million dollar company lol... don't be surprised when youre next in line to get fucked over
I just find it a bit selfish that to refund one passenger, the other passengers can't get on their flight to where they need to go. It's not their fault that one person didn't get paid.
It does happen. Its just rare. I remember years ago, Bank of America wrongfully foreclosed on a home they didn't own. So the owner received a judgement to no effect. So he finally showed up to a bank with a lawyer, sheriff's and a moving crew to start haling furniture and and seize equipment and cash. Bank of America was able to cut a check and disaster was avoided
True irony with the airline case. The airline owes money to a passenger for delays on a prior flight. Then, the airline drags their feet causing a backup of several passengers at the check-in. All of which could sue for delays. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Maybe ironic but definitely effective. Delta is too big to be threatened financially but threaten their REPUTATION and OPERATIONS and they will crumble. It worked didn't it? There is a lesson here for the world - don't tangle with the English - you will loose. Proud of those two bailiffs.
The seizure of an airplane is effective because the delay of even one flight will cause penalties to the airline by the airport and more refunds to customers far in excess of the debt.
And they'd likely be on international news and their REPUTATION would take a huge hit. Too big to be hurt financially but putty in the hands of a small long overdue creditor in the UK. Don't mess with the English.
@@nicholaslandolina Yeah, just call the police at this point and let them find out the hard way that this kind of thing is not going to go well. And they still have to pay off their debt
A court can do this. It's called "piercing the corporate veil" This is when courts remove the "limited liability that most corporations have (this is why companies in the UK are often called "xyz limited" and companies in the US are often called Limited Liability Companies)
Because this is such a busy world most people may never realize how insanely cool this airplane story really is. These people really are heros for standing up for what's right.
I do hope that manager has better luck getting the company to reimburse her than the CUSTOMERS had. "We sold the car to THIS lady" "No we sold it to the Father". Make up your minds. And if you sold the car you should have the money!
There was a man in the USA who self identified as a vampire who actually forclosed on the bank who handled his mortgage for illegal attempting to forclose on his house because he refused to buy insurance from the company that he wanted him to. The bank cut a check for $20,000 and they got their bank back😂
I saw that. He showed up with the sheriff's and a lawyer and a judge's order and shut down a bank branch. At first they tried to argue but the sheriff set them straight. He got his money immediately
happened in southwest Florida. the bank tried to illegally take his home, he had paid for it in total. The man sued in court, won. and when the bank refused to pay up, he had the sheriffs come and repo the bank branch, until they coughed up the money he won in court,
I LOVE that they shut down check in. I got screwed out of money during covid for tickets as well. Unfortunately in Canada we don't have government officials like these.
In Canada we actually do have officials like these. In Canada they are known as the "Office of the Sheriff". They are the same body of government agents that act on orders of eviction. They are also the only government body that is authorized to carry out an eviction. So when the police knock at your door and say "you are being evicted" If they are not from the office of the sheriff and don't have a writ of possession. Then they are not legally authorized to carry out that eviction.
Closing the gate is genius, what crazy pressure from customers not getting services and the potential delay of the flight. We need this service here in America.
I remember when a bank owed a man money he won in court. They didn't pay so they sent the police with collectors to the branch and basically shut it down and was going to start taking property until they finally paid him. It was a well known bank too.
NEVER lend money to friends and family. It very often leads to problems and you'll often never see the money ever again. If you are planning on lending, try to simply give it away as a gift instead, or go to a bank and get it done with proper paperwork with signatures and a witness.
Depends on your family and friends. If they're scumbags then yeah this happens. If you actually have a decent trustworthy family or friends then it won't happen.
Ask for collateral. Take the collateral, give it back when the $$ is paid. If they say what you want collateral then you say what you want me to loan you money? I did well as a younger person and had a lot of so called friends want to barrow money. I took all their stuff and sold it of they did not pay me back. I always took double the value of stuff. When asked why I said so I could offer it at a low price to sell it fast. Then I did, sell it. People eventually stopped bugging me for loans. I was taking double the value of peoples stuff and making money selling it if I didn't get paid. Happened quite a lot. If they had no collateral I would not loan them money.
Lmao why would you think that Americans are the only ones dealing with this type of stuff?? The world doesn't revolve around Merica 😂. Ignorance at it's finest 😂
One year later, the woman who used her personal credit card to bail out the stingy airline has a court order for her own airline to pay her pack and has the check-in counter shut down.
Oh wow it seems when businesses says they dont have the money to pay what theu owe, but once you threaten to shut their operation, they all of a sudden have the money to pay.
I had a huge problem with DELTA 12 years ago. I moved from USA to Austria and have NEVER flown with them again. They have lost me as a customer which cost them a bit. I wished more people would "bud light" them.
When organizations owe people money, its common knowledge that the people will have to wait a lengthy period of time before receiving it, but when people owe organizations money, they need it immediately. The whole system is flawed. A different aspect but similar shafting of the people is fuel pricing. When a barrel of crude oil goes up in costs, the pumps reflect the increase immediately even though the fuel being increased coming out of their storages tanks was purchased at a lesser rate. I understand the same can happen in reverse but stations are not so fast to lower prices than they are to raise them for an increased profit margin. This happens mostly in rural areas where regulating agencies are seldom enforcing price changes.
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but “contact your friends and family to help pay it” is what the scammers use. So now we know where they get their script from. 😂
We do, it's generaly done by the county sheriff. This is most commonly seen in the context of them doing evictions (i.e. siezing possession of a premises and returning it to it's owner). They also do collect money judgements, but that's often less flashy since they can sieze money directly from bank accounts, which is way more convenient. If other methods fail, they do have the power to do the "show up and take stuff" thing. That said, it's ironically less common for people and businesses to go to court over small-ish debts, which is what leads to this process.
The airline case reminds me of the videos where police foreclose on banks who tried to foreclose on homes they had no rights to and then refuse to pay the court judgement. They go into the branch and notify the banki they are there to foreclose on the bank and start collecting anything that can be auctioned/sold off to satisfy the judgement (computers, phones, cash in drawers, etc). Meanwhile the bank manager is in a panic trying to contact his/her superiors for instructions on what to do. In each case, the higher ups quickly authorizes full payment. Here the manager took the initiate to pay out of her own pocket than waste time trying to get in touch with someone above. I hope the airline didn't force her to jump through too many hoops getting repaid. Of all the places an airline doesn't want to have a flight delay Heathrow is almost certainly one of the top three because of the tight take off/landing schedule they have. If a flight gets delayed too much they could miss their takeoff window causing all kinds of delays and expenses for the airline (flight being cancelled, plane not getting to where it needs to go for its next flight, fines for the extra plane on the tarmac, etc). The airline certainly didn't expect the debt collectors to try and collect the debt at Heathrow or they would have quickly paid.
My KUDOS to the Honorable Bailiffs in the UK for the High Court. You are wonderful people and my relatives too. I was a bailiff in Scarborough Ontario Canada and It is a thankless job. Good on you Mates.
That's because at most 90% of the time you are representing big businesses that have made it a practice on how to legally grift consumers with fine print. I know this as having worked for a huge company that was more than delighted to walk over the little guy. We are all parts of an increasingly corrupt system
Go to Dubai or Saudi Arabia, you owe money you better leave the country you can go to jail for a long long time and it is like Child Support in that the interest keeps accruing while you're locked up and you still owe the debt.
Did you watch the video? The vans need and should be stealthy. A neighbor calls someone to hide their cars bc they knew the collector van was coming is exactly what would happen if they did that stupid suggestion. It’s enough that someone owes money. The collectors could wear shirts with company info. But that’s a very big target on them, not many love their stuff taken though force. Some get beat trying to do the job you should have seen in this video. No one wants to owe someone anything. A tow truck, or moving van pulling up is plenty embarrassing.
Wish they had this kind of recowere in the United States. I have a lot of people that owe me money from being tenants but I like can't retrieve it because I don't know where they moved to. Something like this would be absolutely great
That's how it should be! Everyone should have to follow the law and be treated equally under the law. If you or I don't pay our bills, our cars and homes can get reposessed. Is it that much of a stretch to say that if an airline doesn't pay then they should have their planes repossessed as well? Fair's fair.
I’m an American. I live in upstate New York, and we have tons of problems with people not paying a rent and stuff like that. It amazes me that this sort of tactic is used overseas and works very well. We have similar techniques here but people always find a way around the system How it works over there.
It's a TV show. They cut out anything that's boring or disappointing, like driving around for hours to find a car, or when they were given a fake address.
This is why suppliers and contractors have to have the client pay for every step of the project upfront, and pay for the materials themselves. I told a client, "Order the paint, rollers, dropcloths, and buckets of plaster, from whichever store you want. Let me know when they arrive, pay me half the fee upfront, and the other half on completion." They refused, and I refused too. The next guy who took the job paid for the materials, did the plastering/painting, and the client didn't pay up for whatever reason. He lost $500 on the paint/plaster which he'd paid for, and never got paid for his work. As for the client, it was a corporation that declared bankruptcy and was dissolved. He was last on the list of people to be paid.
20:04 Now this lady is going to have to invoke the bailiffs to get paid back for coving Delta’s debt! 😂😂 Delta will probably tell her thank you for stepping up, here is a meal voucher for your dedication!
As a British citizen living in the US, I have no problem with the way the UK collects. Embarrassing or not, you know if the collector will be knocking at your door. If you can’t pay, make payment arrangements before it gets to that point. As for the Delta employee using her own credit to pay for Delta Airlines debt is ridiculous. I wouldn’t have paid it because who’s to say they won’t leave me stuck with that debt?
We need this in the US. Even judgements are basically unenforceable unless you go through a ton to get a declaration of assets and enforcement by the Sheriff's department.
These do exist in America, but there is a slight difference. In the UK these are separate (sometimes privately contracted) agencies whose sole job is to collect court judgements. In the US, this task is usually carried out by county sheriff's offices or local police departments.
"Yes, yes, you have cancer and are living in a gutter, it is true. You don't have the money? I have a suggestion, just a random thing to make this whole debt thing go away. Do you have any family? Children? Parents? Maybe a friend? Is there anyone you could scam the money off of? Wait, you have two kidneys, right? I know a place. Just trying to help."
It amazes me that these horrible people have absolutely no shame as all!!!! Pay what you owe, simple!!! It's quite funny that the 2 characters in this episode that gave the finger ended up having to pay what they owed!!!
OMG, I wish we got some of these shows in the US. I just love these. There would be so many of these guys on the streets of the US if the US did things this way. But they don't... They call you but never do anything but be as mean as they can be by law, lol.
O M G !!! I LOVE you guys. I LOVE the powers you have and wish that More Countries had the same. Less money would be owed if we ALL did !! I’m now your Biggest Fan !🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
I think in the US the courts should assign the person who commits a crime the financial responsibility to make restitution for that crime, then ad on fees to collect and then do so. Can you imagine criminals being on the hook for causing all the problems when the commit a crime against another person? The debt should be like a student loan, you are not able to discharging the debt any other way then to pay it. Sure won't work in every case but it would have one hell of an negative effect on crime of the perpetrators can be adjudicated financially responsible to the victim and the money taken from them for as long as it takes to repay. Whatever income they have from whatever source a percentage is taken even if it is welfare.
"i can't understand how the court can force us to pay money and shut us down" lmfao. Imagine calling the police when the gov agents you don't believe have power, have more power than the police you called
Same with the UK Customs Service. They have more power than the police in many instances, particularly power of entry, and when I worked for them we were often called to help out.
People have this same conundrum when it comes to Security guards. People have NO CLUE just how much power that "mall cop" actually has. When taking into account the law, a Security guard has the same authority as the owner of the property and can actually force the police, yes the police to leave a private property (such as a mall), until they come back with a warrant (signed by a judge, particularly describing the places to be searched or persons to be seized). In much the same way the law allows YOU to do the same to the police, if they are at your home. No warrant NO entry (except in certain legal situations, exigent circumstances ect.). Not recommended if you dont understand the law well. Since the exigency standards can complicate things and get dicy if you attempt to block the police entry physically (Legal in Court NOT street smart in practice, can get you seriously injured).
When these debt collectors show up to banks and corporations for wage and tax theft let us know. Until then they’re just shaking down hard working people who are underpaid and overworked to pay those same thieving corporations. It’s abhorrent.
It shouldn't matter if you're a corporation or an individual, if you lie and dont pay what you owe you're trash. No two ways about it, it's one thing to forget a payment or underpay, that happens and is understandable. But when you're told multiple times that you owe money to whoever did work for you and you don't pay it after being asked and told then yes you're genuine trash. If you don't like it then you shouldn't live in a capitalist society. I'm sure Venezuela and it's totally honest incorruptible government would be happen to have you.
Or you could be living well within your means and loose it all because of the decisions of others. Going from something as small as 40 to 15 has a drastic change on priorities. But please continue to lump everyone together.
@@1chemban Sadly it doesn't help the employees of a business that failed that the business failed. They need the money they gave their hours in return for payment for. They have bills and stuff as well. Regardless of the circumstances.- misfortune or ill will, things have ripple consequences. :(
There’s gotta be a better way to collect money from airlines. I’m surprised it even has to come to this. I am glad there’s actually a way for a normal person to collect from them though.

Exactly, but as I understand it, the name on the car is still the debtor, so they would require proof in this case that the cat was in fact sold and not under ownership of the debtor
@@youngeshmoney Of course I'm not denying the part where they run the car through their system. But still, imagine if the person's home is like in another region, how would they get the proof of you impound the car they used to get to this region in the first place...? In countries like the US, there are rules that prevent obstruction of defender's proof-gathering. Law officers cannot prevent you from getting your proof, and here this would be highly illegal to prevent the person from using their car.
For the airport employee that paid her employers debt: they have refused to refund the customer their money for years, good luck getting the airport to pay you.
As a Yank, I'm surprised the Brits can't just run the license plate to see who owns the car. Any police officer anywhere here can do that nearly instantly from the computer in their car. It'll show the registered owner, and if the car is financed, what bank is carrying the loan.

"It may seem slightly disproportionate to seize a 50 million pound asset for a debt that's only a few thousand pounds" Yeah but there's nothing better than reminding an airline that makes money hand over fist to stop trying to scam people out of a few thousand dollars when you have planes worth millions that can be seized because of ignoring your debts.
Bet that airline manager is going to need the Bailiff's to get her money now, what a fool using personal credit card like that
They should have to pay interest
The Airlines in Canada get a way with it. Our government organizations say please and nothing happens. The Airlines and other big corporations got big hand outs during covid. Meanwhile the Canadian government has gone after small businesses and individuals that make less than 70,000 and even ones than make less than 40,000. Rents gave sky rocketed to 1500 for a 600 sq ft flat in smaller cities and rural areas to between 2300 and 3000 for a one bedroom in Toronto plus utilities. Still the Canadian government goes after them as they can't afford lawyers. The corporations that falsely claimed money during covid from the government get a free pass in their debts as the government claims it would be to costly since the larger companies and corporations have lawyers. So the rich get richer in Canada.
This stuff is illegal in the United States. It has to be THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS for any action to be taken at all. Bail bonds is the closest but they don't have the same authority as the police. Some do. Most don't.
@@Zachary.999. in my country it's very similar to the UK but here it's the courts that decide to seize assets either as leverage or to pay it off. One time a court ordered that an entire fishing trawler worth millions of dollars over a debt of probably 6000 dollars, they paid their debt real quick.
I love this! Delta was getting hundreds of millions of covid payments and is the most profitable airline in the world. And yet they have zero problem screwing their customers.
Their workers too, the government gave them money specifically to keep their workers on payroll and then they laid them all off them like 2 weeks after
Welcome to America.
Is the CEO supposed to buy a smaller yacht?
We just watched a bloke rob an airline employee's personal bank account to pay a debt owed by a multi-million dollar company. Gross.
@@memphiskyle yeah, blame it all on the debt collectors & not on the million dollar company lol... don't be surprised when youre next in line to get fucked over
Bravo on enforcing the airline issue. I had no idea you could do that. Surprised it doesn’t happen elsewhere.
Yeah. Even if it's an Airline from the United States, they're still subject to British Law and the High Court Bailiffs avoided canceling the flight.
I just find it a bit selfish that to refund one passenger, the other passengers can't get on their flight to where they need to go. It's not their fault that one person didn't get paid.
It makes no sense an airline worth millions of dollars owns you anything
@@YousTubo airlines are scum.
It does happen. Its just rare. I remember years ago, Bank of America wrongfully foreclosed on a home they didn't own. So the owner received a judgement to no effect. So he finally showed up to a bank with a lawyer, sheriff's and a moving crew to start haling furniture and and seize equipment and cash. Bank of America was able to cut a check and disaster was avoided
True irony with the airline case. The airline owes money to a passenger for delays on a prior flight. Then, the airline drags their feet causing a backup of several passengers at the check-in. All of which could sue for delays. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
If it was real.
Send 2 units to shut down an airport bs.

They could have seized another plane and not the one about to board . I believe their act was wrong in this instance .
I wouldn't be surprised. Stingey companies.
@@CkCmilliemoothat would probably be fraud.
The seizure of an airplane is effective because the delay of even one flight will cause penalties to the airline by the airport and more refunds to customers far in excess of the debt.
And they'd likely be on international news and their REPUTATION would take a huge hit. Too big to be hurt financially but putty in the hands of a small long overdue creditor in the UK. Don't mess with the English.
The moment they realize the new business has mail and correspondence from the old business, they should call them out for fraud
That actually makes sense kind of but it should only maybe be used as evidence
@@nicholaslandolina Yeah, just call the police at this point and let them find out the hard way that this kind of thing is not going to go well. And they still have to pay off their debt
A court can do this. It's called "piercing the corporate veil"
This is when courts remove the "limited liability that most corporations have (this is why companies in the UK are often called "xyz limited" and companies in the US are often called Limited Liability Companies)
Because this is such a busy world most people may never realize how insanely cool this airplane story really is. These people really are heros for standing up for what's right.
I do hope that manager has better luck getting the company to reimburse her than the CUSTOMERS had.
"We sold the car to THIS lady" "No we sold it to the Father". Make up your minds. And if you sold the car you should have the money!

There was a man in the USA who self identified as a vampire who actually forclosed on the bank who handled his mortgage for illegal attempting to forclose on his house because he refused to buy insurance from the company that he wanted him to. The bank cut a check for $20,000 and they got their bank back😂
I saw that. He showed up with the sheriff's and a lawyer and a judge's order and shut down a bank branch. At first they tried to argue but the sheriff set them straight. He got his money immediately
I don’t understand how that works but it’s awesome
happened in southwest Florida. the bank tried to illegally take his home, he had paid for it in total. The man sued in court, won. and when the bank refused to pay up, he had the sheriffs come and repo the bank branch, until they coughed up the money he won in court,
@@gijane1996 I saw that too a few years ago. Awesome.
Because he is a vampire he is technically immortal so a mortgage (death treaty) in Latin can't apply.
I love this stuff I love when airlines and billion dollar corporations are held accountable for their shady actions
Doesn't happen often enough
I LOVE that they shut down check in. I got screwed out of money during covid for tickets as well. Unfortunately in Canada we don't have government officials like these.
South Korea need this system. There are a lot of people who refuse to pay tax debt though they are affordable enough. So shameful.
In Canada government officials debank honest citizens who oppose their leftwing fascist rule.
In Canada we actually do have officials like these. In Canada they are known as the "Office of the Sheriff". They are the same body of government agents that act on orders of eviction. They are also the only government body that is authorized to carry out an eviction. So when the police knock at your door and say "you are being evicted" If they are not from the office of the sheriff and don't have a writ of possession. Then they are not legally authorized to carry out that eviction.
@@timothystone3360 cool I didn't know that. Thanks
I love that they can do that to delta. 😂😂😂
the thousands more needed kicked the ball rolling
This is all staged
Sorry Love, The airline wouldn't pay, so we've seized this 747 for you. When can you come pick it up?
😂😂😂😂😂
Or take it down the auction rooms or pawnbrokers ;-)
It will be sold off in auction, the debt will be paid and leftover returned minus any fees.
The agent who speaks (?Romanian?) is amazing! What a perfect person to work with this community.
Closing the gate is genius, what crazy pressure from customers not getting services and the potential delay of the flight. We need this service here in America.
I remember when a bank owed a man money he won in court. They didn't pay so they sent the police with collectors to the branch and basically shut it down and was going to start taking property until they finally paid him. It was a well known bank too.
NEVER lend money to friends and family. It very often leads to problems and you'll often never see the money ever again. If you are planning on lending, try to simply give it away as a gift instead, or go to a bank and get it done with proper paperwork with signatures and a witness.
Depends on your family and friends. If they're scumbags then yeah this happens. If you actually have a decent trustworthy family or friends then it won't happen.
Ask for collateral. Take the collateral, give it back when the $$ is paid. If they say what you want collateral then you say what you want me to loan you money? I did well as a younger person and had a lot of so called friends want to barrow money. I took all their stuff and sold it of they did not pay me back. I always took double the value of stuff. When asked why I said so I could offer it at a low price to sell it fast. Then I did, sell it. People eventually stopped bugging me for loans. I was taking double the value of peoples stuff and making money selling it if I didn't get paid. Happened quite a lot. If they had no collateral I would not loan them money.
Quickest way to lose a friend
Is when you borrow or when you lend.
Can I say something, getting physical with the agent is not going to fix anything.
😅
Imagine having your travel itinerary completely screwed because the airline didn't pay their bills
I hate people who buy stuff and then refuse to pay for it after.
You mean people don't provide a service or product and don't pay a refund. Because the people who are buying the stuff isn't the problem
Like college students who don't pay back their loans. No consequences, although responsible people pay what they owe.
Love this show! Glad to see we Americans are not the only ones that have to deal with this insanity!
Lmao why would you think that Americans are the only ones dealing with this type of stuff?? The world doesn't revolve around Merica 😂. Ignorance at it's finest 😂
One year later, the woman who used her personal credit card to bail out the stingy airline has a court order for her own airline to pay her pack and has the check-in counter shut down.
Oh wow it seems when businesses says they dont have the money to pay what theu owe, but once you threaten to shut their operation, they all of a sudden have the money to pay.
Seemed like that the delta manager used her personal card. Hope she gets the money back.
This is wild .. could you imagine being a delta passenger in that terminal
That is the genius of that tactic. If a shyster American corporation operates in the UK then it operates under the UK's jurisdiction. Suck it up.
Can you imagine being a Delta passenger? That's horror enough.
I had a huge problem with DELTA 12 years ago. I moved from USA to Austria and have NEVER flown with them again. They have lost me as a customer which cost them a bit. I wished more people would "bud light" them.
When organizations owe people money, its common knowledge that the people will have to wait a lengthy period of time before receiving it, but when people owe organizations money, they need it immediately.
The whole system is flawed. A different aspect but similar shafting of the people is fuel pricing. When a barrel of crude oil goes up in costs, the pumps reflect the increase immediately even though the fuel being increased coming out of their storages tanks was purchased at a lesser rate. I understand the same can happen in reverse but stations are not so fast to lower prices than they are to raise them for an increased profit margin. This happens mostly in rural areas where regulating agencies are seldom enforcing price changes.
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but “contact your friends and family to help pay it” is what the scammers use. So now we know where they get their script from. 😂
We truly need this in the United States. It would be wonderful.
You have lost your mind
We do, it's generaly done by the county sheriff. This is most commonly seen in the context of them doing evictions (i.e. siezing possession of a premises and returning it to it's owner). They also do collect money judgements, but that's often less flashy since they can sieze money directly from bank accounts, which is way more convenient. If other methods fail, they do have the power to do the "show up and take stuff" thing.
That said, it's ironically less common for people and businesses to go to court over small-ish debts, which is what leads to this process.
and debtor laws and consumer protections and price control
Until it's your flight that is being delayed haha
They do.. for private citizens. Not businesses.
The airline case reminds me of the videos where police foreclose on banks who tried to foreclose on homes they had no rights to and then refuse to pay the court judgement. They go into the branch and notify the banki they are there to foreclose on the bank and start collecting anything that can be auctioned/sold off to satisfy the judgement (computers, phones, cash in drawers, etc). Meanwhile the bank manager is in a panic trying to contact his/her superiors for instructions on what to do. In each case, the higher ups quickly authorizes full payment. Here the manager took the initiate to pay out of her own pocket than waste time trying to get in touch with someone above. I hope the airline didn't force her to jump through too many hoops getting repaid.
Of all the places an airline doesn't want to have a flight delay Heathrow is almost certainly one of the top three because of the tight take off/landing schedule they have. If a flight gets delayed too much they could miss their takeoff window causing all kinds of delays and expenses for the airline (flight being cancelled, plane not getting to where it needs to go for its next flight, fines for the extra plane on the tarmac, etc). The airline certainly didn't expect the debt collectors to try and collect the debt at Heathrow or they would have quickly paid.
Well, if they don't pay her, she can always sue them and get the aircraft seized again if they refuse payment :P
The biggest lever is that of DAMAGE TO REPUTATION and that was certainly happening there...
My KUDOS to the Honorable Bailiffs in the UK for the High Court. You are wonderful people and my relatives too. I was a bailiff in Scarborough Ontario Canada and It is a thankless job. Good on you Mates.
That's because at most 90% of the time you are representing big businesses that have made it a practice on how to legally grift consumers with fine print. I know this as having worked for a huge company that was more than delighted to walk over the little guy. We are all parts of an increasingly corrupt system
"Mate, it is your responsibility to show me, not mine to find out" lmao
I think I just figured out why airplanes get delayed 😂😂😂. This is so satisfying
😂😂
I love the fact that they blocked the airline untill they paid.
Don't mess with the English! 👌
Go to Dubai or Saudi Arabia, you owe money you better leave the country you can go to jail for a long long time and it is like Child Support in that the interest keeps accruing while you're locked up and you still owe the debt.
Why show the office of a Chinese airline and blur out the actual airline that is owning the debt?
Free ad for the Chinese airline?
May be the debt collectors should put BIG decals on their vans spell out loud 'DEBT COLLECTORS' to embarrass the debters.
Did you watch the video?
The vans need and should be stealthy. A neighbor calls someone to hide their cars bc they knew the collector van was coming is exactly what would happen if they did that stupid suggestion.
It’s enough that someone owes money. The collectors could wear shirts with company info.
But that’s a very big target on them, not many love their stuff taken though force. Some get beat trying to do the job you should have seen in this video.
No one wants to owe someone anything.
A tow truck, or moving van pulling up is plenty embarrassing.
Embarrassing debtors like that is harassment and is illegal.
I hope the airline has to pay court costs also. 😡
All costs are built into the debt, if the debtor fights and obstructs the costs and therefore the debt go up.
Wish they had this kind of recowere in the United States. I have a lot of people that owe me money from being tenants but I like can't retrieve it because I don't know where they moved to. Something like this would be absolutely great
Sprit still owes me money for losing my bag 4 years ago :/ we need those people here
Imagine they walked in and started taking delta TVs 😂
This is a first and probably not the last, to have an airline kow tow to the law 😂
That's how it should be! Everyone should have to follow the law and be treated equally under the law. If you or I don't pay our bills, our cars and homes can get reposessed. Is it that much of a stretch to say that if an airline doesn't pay then they should have their planes repossessed as well? Fair's fair.
As a small business owner here in Canada, I really wish we had a High Court empowered the way they show in the video.
I’m an American. I live in upstate New York, and we have tons of problems with people not paying a rent and stuff like that. It amazes me that this sort of tactic is used overseas and works very well. We have similar techniques here but people always find a way around the system How it works over there.
The problem with the USA is that we are too liberal, so we often get f****ed most of the time!
I’m in the city, and we have the same problem.
It's a TV show. They cut out anything that's boring or disappointing, like driving around for hours to find a car, or when they were given a fake address.
new York has gone to pot
also, that's why your loan is higher: to pay for the ones that default
I don't think I would have paid that airline bill if I was her. They didn't pay the customer they may not reimburse her.
Wow, that tow truck driver looked really rough! He should've been given a breathalyzer test.
Tow truck drivers are not delicate little flowers ;-)
This is why suppliers and contractors have to have the client pay for every step of the project upfront, and pay for the materials themselves. I told a client, "Order the paint, rollers, dropcloths, and buckets of plaster, from whichever store you want. Let me know when they arrive, pay me half the fee upfront, and the other half on completion." They refused, and I refused too. The next guy who took the job paid for the materials, did the plastering/painting, and the client didn't pay up for whatever reason. He lost $500 on the paint/plaster which he'd paid for, and never got paid for his work. As for the client, it was a corporation that declared bankruptcy and was dissolved. He was last on the list of people to be paid.
Stage payments...
20:04 Now this lady is going to have to invoke the bailiffs to get paid back for coving Delta’s debt! 😂😂
Delta will probably tell her thank you for stepping up, here is a meal voucher for your dedication!
I seriously hope it wasn't her own "personal credit card" -- hopefully it was her Delta corporate card!
As a British citizen living in the US, I have no problem with the way the UK collects. Embarrassing or not, you know if the collector will be knocking at your door. If you can’t pay, make payment arrangements before it gets to that point. As for the Delta employee using her own credit to pay for Delta Airlines debt is ridiculous. I wouldn’t have paid it because who’s to say they won’t leave me stuck with that debt?
True true true. She saved the company tens of thousands of quid by preventing a delay, and she thinks she'll get thanks for that? Not bloody likely.
Maybe the credit card belongs to the company since she’s a manager.
@@frenchustube I hope so, but I thought I heard her say it was her personal card.
We need this in the US. Even judgements are basically unenforceable unless you go through a ton to get a declaration of assets and enforcement by the Sheriff's department.
They need agents such as these in America. Businesses would stop doing stealing from unsuspecting customers
These do exist in America, but there is a slight difference. In the UK these are separate (sometimes privately contracted) agencies whose sole job is to collect court judgements. In the US, this task is usually carried out by county sheriff's offices or local police departments.
These are called “Repo agents”.
@@Canleaf08 WEll, we need "Repo Agents" that will repo other items than cars to repay money owed.
I’d rather see the FBI than the high court! Absolutely love the fact they went after the airline thinking they too big for refunds!

Breach of contract is illegal. Enforcing it is how we keep from rule by mafia or cartel.
I think in the US the courts should assign the person who commits a crime the financial responsibility to make restitution for that crime, then ad on fees to collect and then do so.
Can you imagine criminals being on the hook for causing all the problems when the commit a crime against another person?
The debt should be like a student loan, you are not able to discharging the debt any other way then to pay it.
Sure won't work in every case but it would have one hell of an negative effect on crime of the perpetrators can be adjudicated financially responsible to the victim and the money taken from them for as long as it takes to repay. Whatever income they have from whatever source a percentage is taken even if it is welfare.
20:06 wow the manager paid it with her OWN MONEY?? she'll never see that money again lol
"i can't understand how the court can force us to pay money and shut us down" lmfao. Imagine calling the police when the gov agents you don't believe have power, have more power than the police you called
Same with the UK Customs Service. They have more power than the police in many instances, particularly power of entry, and when I worked for them we were often called to help out.
People have this same conundrum when it comes to Security guards. People have NO CLUE just how much power that "mall cop" actually has.
When taking into account the law, a Security guard has the same authority as the owner of the property and can actually force the police, yes the police to leave a private property (such as a mall), until they come back with a warrant (signed by a judge, particularly describing the places to be searched or persons to be seized).
In much the same way the law allows YOU to do the same to the police, if they are at your home. No warrant NO entry (except in certain legal situations, exigent circumstances ect.).
Not recommended if you dont understand the law well. Since the exigency standards can complicate things and get dicy if you attempt to block the police entry physically (Legal in Court NOT street smart in practice, can get you seriously injured).

When these debt collectors show up to banks and corporations for wage and tax theft let us know. Until then they’re just shaking down hard working people who are underpaid and overworked to pay those same thieving corporations. It’s abhorrent.
It shouldn't matter if you're a corporation or an individual, if you lie and dont pay what you owe you're trash. No two ways about it, it's one thing to forget a payment or underpay, that happens and is understandable. But when you're told multiple times that you owe money to whoever did work for you and you don't pay it after being asked and told then yes you're genuine trash. If you don't like it then you shouldn't live in a capitalist society. I'm sure Venezuela and it's totally honest incorruptible government would be happen to have you.
You must owe a lot of money if you can’t pay it back don’t take it in the first place you reap what you sow
Or you could be living well within your means and loose it all because of the decisions of others. Going from something as small as 40 to 15 has a drastic change on priorities. But please continue to lump everyone together.

She's not an airport employee. She works for the airline. Heathrow did not owe the passenger anything. It was the airline.
As a Yank, I'm surprised the Brits can't just run the license plate to see who owns the car. Any police officer anywhere here can do that nearly instantly from the computer in their car. It'll show the registered owner, and if the car is financed, what bank is carrying the loan.

That sounds scary as fuck
They should need to be armed in the US. One thing to note is that these "Agents" are not private companies but high court officers
from what another commenter posted apparently they do this too in the states, but there it's actual LEOs from the sheriffs office that are sent out
@@rafalpilat4229Ultimately those agents are enforcing the directions of the King or Queen of England. The debtor's cannot win, though they may try to.
Amazing that it is foreigners that are the debtors. Surprised? No, they play the system like a violin right up to the last note.
Also amazes me how so many of them have solicitors on speed dial, many of whom seem to think they know UK law better than the high court sherrifs.
As an American I find this unreal because unless it's a car, boat, ATV, jet ski or rented furniture no one comes to your door over a debt.
Do these debt collectors work for the government and companies only or can any individual that is owed a debt but cannot collect employe these ppl? Are these debt collectors limited by the law or do they have permission to use methods a regular citizen cannot?
I apologize if my questions sound silly or stupid there just isn't anything comparable in the US.
If they did that in the US... getting on someone's property using cameras to try and look in one's garage they could get seriously hurt.
In the State of Florida...doing what you said would result in someone getting shot and floating in the Florida Everglades.
The blame for that lawless situation lies with your constitution and lax gun laws. Up to you to change it.
