Getting Even More Desperate

  • Rubie, a poster called Vicola posted in your thread claiming to be from a TV company asking if you wanted to take part in a programme. All media types MUST get permission to tout on here from MSE HQ. Vicola obviously hadn't so I posted to tell the poster and also as information to other posters that this is what should happen. I also reported them to abuse. RAS reported to abuse as well. Abuse have now been in and removed the offending post.

    As for MBNA they won't be able to grab your wages.

  • Think MBNA use Coop as a clearing bank/to receive payments via. But they are not actually linked to Coop, so you should be fine re your salary
  • okay thanks - is necessary to start a new thread because of it?
  • No not at all carry on with this one.

    How are you feeling?

  • Not too bad thanks for asking...., very tired now as was awake most of last night. A bit worried about tomorrow and Friday because those are 2 Direct Debit dates that I have cancelled - keep thinking I'll be getting some phone calls, but I suppose being as its only the first missed payments should have a wait before all that starts??

    How are you?

    It takes a while to reach the right department when you cancel a DD, they may just write and ask are you aware it has not been paid, or ask you to call them up. Please do not worry and try to get some sleep, I know that is easier said than done but please do not make yourself ill in the meantime.

  • Don't count on it, some are pretty quick off the mark. If you have call viewing on your phone just ignore any numbers you don't recognise.

    Been better but am surviving, going to attemt to get some sleep in a minute :rolleyes:

  • Just wishful thinking....... haven't got viewing facility, but thinking of unplugging phone and changing sim card in mobile......

    Anyway, sleep tight, catch up tomorrow
  • Rylynn, sorry didn't see your reply..... been reading your thread and you don't sound too good today, so ditto to you as well. I am ready for my bed now, so will speak tomorrow, sleep well x

    Oh sorry did not mean to give out the wrong info but I thought as it is Thursday and then Friday there may be no calls, but then they work weekends!

    You get some sleep TF and you Rubie.

    I have a major weapon, my voice is very deep and most people on the phone think I am a man, so when I used to answer (no call viewing on my phone) I would ask who was calling when they asked for me, and say oh she is not here right now and wont be until Sunday evening! Sunday evenings I then switched my phone off, all the important people knew never to call my home phone on a Sunday, if they needed me urgently they called my mums line or my sons mobile. It kept them at bay for a while at least!

    Chins up you two.
