Post Office pursued sisters after case thrown out
The Post Office continued to threaten two sisters over a £34,000 shortfall even after a criminal trial was ruled out over faulty computer evidence, the BBC has learned.
A Glasgow prosecutor rejected the case in 2014 because of "issues" with the Horizon computer system.
However, the Post Office did not tell Jacquie El Kasaby and Rose Stewart the reason for the failed prosecution, and threatened to involve debt collectors.
The sisters eventually paid £10,000 to settle the debt, even though they had not taken any money.
The Post Office said it would not be appropriate to comment on the allegations.
Their story is told in a new BBC Disclosure programme, Scotland's Post Office Scandal.
