The Consumers' Association of Finland told in provincial daily Kouvolan Sanomat on Tuesday that it is concerned about the new payment methods introduced to the markets by debt collection office Intrum Justitia. From the beginning of the month, shops have been able to offer customers the option of paying by invoice. In practice, the customer is in debt to the debt collection office who then charges them the invoice in addition to a billing charge. According to Tuula Sario, the association's head lawyer, the invoicing system allows consumers to spend more than they can afford. Source: Helsinki Times
