The Fraque Collector
Despite the creativity of the concept of Rental Kowaihito, the idea of the “sinister people rental” has probably inspired by the company, also Japanese, who had placed a few years ago Pink rabbit dressed at the door of people who owed money to their customers.
The embarrassing and absurd presence of the rosy rabbit to the door led, in most cases, the debtors to miraculously find money To pay your debts – and make the social pressure disappear that the uncomfortable presence caused.
The idea of the pink rabbit was imported to Portugal and adapted in the form of the FRAKE COLLERa private service that has become quite popular in our country, especially in the 1980s and 90s.
The service offered the stretches of an extravagantly manner, usually of weakness, top hat and cane, who was at the door of the house or the workplace of a debtor.
The extra could not use the forceenter the site or utter insults; only marked presence, to cause social pressure and public embarrassment and induce the debtor to pay.
Many creditors considered the service more effective than facing long debt collection processes in court, but the approach raised legal issues related to Moral harassment and public humiliation.
As the Portuguese state was reinforcing the laws of data protectionon the one hand, and coercive chargeon the other, the model became increasingly less acceptable, and more obsolete.
With the years, The popularity of the service was fadinguntil practically disappeared. So if a weakening individual comes to someone’s door, he doesn’t draw hasty conclusions – he is probably just waiting for someone on his way to a gala or marriage.
