    Can people on here be a bit more caring before laying into newbies.

    The OP states " but i am very sceptical of this, as you get nowt for nowt in this world"

    If they were saying how wonderful this firm was from go, I could agree with the cynical nature on here, but they are not, and are asking for help.

    Oh dear oh dear ! Get real and don't be sooooooooooo naive ! :rolleyes:

    Looking at your previous posts you obviously don't spend much time in the credit card forum. If you did you'd realise just how much of this tripe is appearing here on a daily basis along with the multitude of fictitious posts.

    Not to mention the post author almost always mysteriously vanishes never to be seen again on the boards

    If they mention the name of the company, then of course people are gonna look at it on google, it doesn't matter if they slag it off its still generating hits, the op might only be an advertiser for that company, paid by the number of hits, and either way its advertising. I just don't know why they try it on this forum (but then again since 5:02 today the poster has probably posted something about 'cartel' on 20 other forum sites).

    Forum members may also want to be aware of this prior to posting on this thread.

    I wonder if the Advertising Standards Agency have also been threatened with legal action :rolleyes:

    Hi all, I stumbled across a website explaining how a card or loan opened up before April '07 could be written off if found to have any discrepancies in its contract etc. I have 3 that spring to mind - a loan for £2000 (which has recently disappeared from my credit file & the company has stopped contacting me!), a Credit Card with £2200 on it & another which only has £690 left on it.

    What I wanted to ask was, has anyone done this yet? I know that you can pay agents to do this for you - i.e. get hold of the contract & payment history of the account & look for anything 'fishy' but is this a scam? I hope not!!

    many thanks guys

    James

    OK zappafan - here's a reply in a language you may understand.

    "This is the central scrutinizer
    It is my job to enforce laws that haven't been passed yet.
    Paying money over to dodgy firms who claim to be able to write off your debts is wrong and you should not do it.
    You will lose your money.
    Be a good boy, go to church regularly, and if you cannot afford to pay your debts then seek the help of a not for profit organisation such as the CCCS.
    Otherwise, pay your way like the rest of society.
    Here, have a donut."

    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.
