Outside the dispute window. People, quite a lot of people, have tried. The discouraging results were posted in the original GB thread.

You know.. Idk bout Corea, but if it's anything like China, you can pay for a "Collector" (local gangster) quite cheaply to either Collect, Ruff'up, or Sweep...

By USD standards this service is honestly dirt cheap for what it is..

Any Coreans up in here know some details?(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/beaten-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862490)

(Attachment Link)

They offer that sure, but I'm saying you can just get the ruff'up, or collection service.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/info-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862510)

collection service is usually the more expensive actually, because they'll probably take a large portion 50% of the take for example..

the only way to get fair-er collection, is to be a repeat customer.. OR have some sort of plan to reinvest in the gang..

This is the part that put many people off.. so predominantly, they say screw it, just go beat that guy up...
