    I had a look at my equifax a few months ago and it was fab - enabled me to get that well needed bank loan:D though thinking the credit report has somewhat changed since the ex left me with the debt but I take blame to as I didn't even try and sort it, I just buried my head in the sand as usual and only decided to panic when the DC letter arrived on the door:mad: Never the less I am proud to be dealing with this at last - got to pay £340 tomorrow:( but at least I will get there!
    Do have a look at Experian, won't cost a penny through credit expert. Check cashback sites it may even pay you :j
    Really been good to learn of your experiences, off to bed now but hope to see you ON HERE (Ignore the rest) tomorrow.
    Sleep well x

    I've just read that thread (knowing that I shouldn't have) as I guessed what it would be about.

    It always leaves me fuming. Some people don't know how lucky they are not having to 'rely' on some sort of benefit. I'm sure most people don't just sit on their backsides all day watching sky tv :mad:

    At least this thread is friendly lol
  • Thanks C8ndice! Yep I was fuming and when it comes to people like that there is no reasoning with them but on topics like that I am like a dog with a bone - never let it go :D :rotfl:

    The sad thing about it is that the same people who slate others for claiming benefits do not understand the full financial situation of the person, if you are entitled to a benefit then you should claim it, many people who work full time claim working and family tax credit - which is a benefit.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Was looking at Sky HD last night, £49 for existing customers sounds like a good deal even with the charge for HD pack and multiroom for free installation.
    Been with Sky 30 months now, never had an offer, newbies got sky+ free, may sign up for hd then cancel, see if I get a sky+ for nothing :j
    I've had 2 loans with Provident, first one paid over the year £300, £9 per week then took another same terms but paid back in half the time. Now reports to Experian so good for credit score if nothing else :D

    hi everyone!!!

    hope we are all well!!

    brian we applied to upgrade to sky hd last week, its not worth bothering mate. you cant order it you have to be prossesed and then they send you a email to let you know when you can order 3 months!!!!! so i told em to stick it!! why advertise when they dont have the boxes to go round!!:mad:

    Thanks for info Louiser, Sky really annoy me in that existing customers get nothing for loyalty.
