  • who NEEDS to know?

    no-one really, any "body" (official or trading) wont look in the local rags will they, they check the IS site, the London Gazette site and do credit checks if REALLY interested.

    BTW, you are ALWAYS gonna be on the LG site, forever, even after death, how that isnt punitive i really dont know.....

    enjoy!

    At first it was only my close family and my best mate that knew. Once I'd got over the worst and began to come to terms with what had happened I wasn't afraid to let others know. I didn't walk about with a sandwich board or anything like that but I figured that going BR wasn't a crime and, although not necessarily proud of it, I'm not ashamed of it anymore either.
    If people want to judge me, then that's up to them. But in all honesty I don't care what other people think, the most important people in my life know the score and have been totally supportive.

    Bang on chap! absolutely no need for joe public (who wont be lending you anything, or you owe anything to) to know, it should be as protected as your personal finances are by the DPA, but it isnt.

    credit givers should have trade sites to rely on, not your local papers, which they dont use anyway!

    its the modern equivalent of the stocks
