    precisely Gemmzie.

    If you read the Ob article, Vince Cable has said this is not a good idea. Think he has understood the wider implications which a stakeholder group mainly of creditors lawyers would not appreciate.

    We can only try, but the more we get behind this the better the chance they might

    I think the whole thing is sick, people have been lead to believe that their home could be reposesed only if it was a loan secured on their house and that credit cards and the like were different.

    If you go to any home loan site you see a warning similar to this:-

    "YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT."

    However if you go to a credit card site you will see no similar warning. The obvious implication is that your home cannot be reposesed if you don't keep up payments, and that is why they can charge you the extortionate rates of interest they charge.

    If is an absolute con IMO and basically a sophiscated fraud which the government seem to be 'in on'.

    If this sick government passes this it can kiss goodbye it's chances of ever getting re-elected again, however I think it kissed it's electorial a** goodbye some time ago :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    However on a somewhat brighter note, there is one huge problem if this does take effect, which the credit card companies appeared to have over looked, it will mean their huge ndustry will be virtually wiped out :T because there will be absolutely no point in any homeowner taking out and form of 'unsecure' loan such as a credit card.


    So I wonder if they have done their sums? I would estimate they would lose more than they would gain and that their industy would be virtually wiped out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway it's absolutely disgusting and unfair, and I believe basically illegal, an unfair contract with inadaquate warnings and basically changing the rules after the contract has been signed.
