The figures are what they are

As you might expect, by interviewing subjects at their home address we often find and see details that they have omitted to tell our clients...the new car on the drive, the home multi media centre, the valuable antique collection.

On one occasion we were asked by a bank to visit a customer who owed them £2m and with whom they had had no contact for 9 months.

We expected to begin by having to trace the subject but, on visiting the last known address, we were delighted to meet with him there. He told us that he was surprised the bank had not been in contact because he had not moved and had received no correspondence from them.  

When we interviewed him we were able to ascertain that he had assets of £1.9m and was very happy to prove his worth and show all documentation to the bank. A mutually acceptable agreement was reached.  

So, not everything is bad news. Sometimes it is simply a case of lack of communication.
