I came across this when somebody bounced a cheque on me and I 'mentioned' it to a mutual friend. I got my money but also a stern warning from the mutual friend, who happened to be a solicitor.
That's why debt collectors use unmarked vans and letters are marked for addressee only, It is an offence to 'shame' a debtor, like the practice of pinning bounced cheques on shop notice boards.
Had the debtor known about that, whoever placed that public notice on the website could have been in hot water.
