    If you've only been here 2 months you got no chance of getting credit mate, regardless of your income.

    Not so sure of that. I'm a UK citizen and have spent 28 of my 44 years in the UK, and I went to my bank today and they said they can override the faceless computer which obviously doesnt take into account different circumstances like mine.

    The bank manager also guaranteed me a mortgage facility if I need it :rolleyes:

    You have only been in your current residence for 2 months, previous address outside the UK and its unlikely your registered on the electoral roll yet. Under these circumstances it would be extremely difficult to pass a credit check - even pre 2007.

    I am not pro rioting - I am just surprised we aren't seeing any and I suspect it may be due to people being quite scared.
    Not so much scared, the ingredients aren't all there yet, but later this year, as I have said before there will be a lot of angry people, with more time on their hands than they expected, a Govt less than a year from an election, so increasingly lame-duck. All it needs is a minister to appear arrogant and uncaring, a sultry hot August and the rent-a - mob will make sure that any legitimate demo turns into an orgy of destruction and anachy IMHO

    TROLL ALERT ..TROLL ALERT.............. THERES A TROLL IN THE ROOM..................... :rolleyes:

    Just to put you right, im a HA tenant, born and brought up on council estates, self employed, work hard save hard, never received a penny from anyone.No silver spoon, NO debts.Don,t feel superior to anyone.Im working class and proud of it.. so im a "glorified moneylender"???

    GET A LIFE !!!!!! ......................

    Oh dear we are a very angry saver aren't we? Don't get your knickers in a twist love. How do you define a troll? Someone who doesn't agree with what you think?

    I keep reading on this board how savers who have profited with large interest payments are "prudent" and deserving and have a halo over their head whilst people who have made money out of property are greedy moneygrabbers who are morally wrong.

    Off you go and count your cash you Shylock. :rotfl:
    The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best

    No, I didn't get it wrong. Thought you might be wearing knickers anyway.
