    Hi there

    This is the insurance forum, so I doubt anyone will be able to give you advice here.

    My personal opinion: In this time of credit crisis and where people are worrying about how they are going to make ends meet, posting "I'm in the money" messages is tasteless. I think you would have got a better response if you had actually used your digit to dial the number on the letter and asking them rather than pressing little black buttons on your pc.
    In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.

    Can barely read what your typing. Maybe take an English class? Or stop typing like your texting your mates?

    normally is it considered rude to correct spelling and grammar on a forum. However, you did yourself bring the subject up when you asked Oscar "can u read".

    You dont need an A level or an O level/GCSE. However, your post #3 was truly awful and on par with a 7 year old. If you have writing/learning problems then everyone would be sympathetic and work with you. Your "can u read" comment suggests you dont have writing problems as you wouldnt have been as rude in your response. The lack of grammar and awful spelling looks more like laziness and "txt spk" rather than actual ability. Your past posts also carry a similar, although nothing quite as bad, style. Using txt spk on forums never goes down well.

    Your question has been answered on one of your duplicate threads (another thing that is frowned upon). So, take a look at that one.
