Good way of putting it i think i held on to the belief that i would be able to pay even though the interest was crippling to be honest. I guess you bury your head in the sand but eventually you have to face it head on when you realise you actually have no life.:cheesy: K2nga :cheesy:

Little Update.
Call from Mint today as they were still chasing money. Goes to show it can take a while for the OR to get round to everyone. I get surprised when you tell them that you are BR how flustered they get on the phone. Again i just gave them the details.:cheesy: K2nga :cheesy:

I was still getting calls up to 6 weeks post BR. I was quite happy to give them the BR details, but I'll admit to getting a little bit stroppy with the ones that kept on calling, despite being given all the relevant information.You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that
