    Question. Where was the dating DFW-style thread?
    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

    Payday Loans has tracked already on Quidco! The money will be in my bank account tomorrow, I'll just let it sit there until they want it back and then I'll wait for Quidco to pay out. Excellent result, £40 profit!

    Terrible that they are already trying to get me not to pay it off in one go - this is an email I've literally just had - before the money even hits my account!

    "Did you know you don't have to pay off your loan in one go? Our client login area will allow you to defer payment of your loan, or take a new loan once this one has been repaid. Take a look and see how easy it is to use. Why not save the link to your favourites for the future?"

    and then, the options available

    Option One - The minimum you would need to repay this month would be the charges of £20.00. We would then defer the principal balance of £80.00 to your next payday, on which you would be due to repay £100.00 including charges.

    Option Two - We do suggest, if you can, that you pay some extra off of the principal balance in order to reduce next months repayment. Option Two is that you pay £70.00 (£20.00 charges and £50.00 off the loan). We would then defer £30.00 to your next payday, on which you would be required to repay £37.50 including charges.

    As my Grandad would say

    "They are taking your eyes out then coming back later for the sockets":rolleyes:

    Payday loans keep emailing me. I'm guessing my credit rating must be REALLY bad :o

    Ahhh... No, it's not that. Due to the clarity I received while cleaning and posted in my thread, I am now looking at taking on the world ;)

    I've thought about doing it, but somehow applying for a loan just feels wrong, yet pre LBM I used to do it regularly :o

    Hi All

    Daily Chat Thread 'lurker' here!

    Mention of the Leeds Meet has prompted me to stick my head above the parapet. I did say that I would be coming to the meet but I really don't think I am going to be able to make it. :cry: Because of (a) serious lack of money (b) DS will be with us that weekend (c) I don't know what OH will be doing that weekend and so I don't know whether he will around to look after DS (d) we will probably have to go my Dad's on the Sunday as it is his birthday on the 4th.

    I really wanted to come, especially as I missed the Birmingham meet after I broke my foot.:eek:
