A knock on my door today a woman was stood there and asked me if i wanted to sign up for high street vouchers, she said the money would be collected on a friday.
Has anyone else had people knocking on their doors from these people?

    Never buy anything at the door. Tell them to get lost. Works for me.
    If you will the end, you must will the means.
  • This is completely bona fida and you should not be worried. On Friday morning when they come for the dosh, just put on a pair of trousers with deep pockets, or better still decent holes in them, and your money should be safe.

    This looks like the company :-

    http://jrnaylors.org.uk/index.html

    They seem to be a cross between Bright House and Provident.
    They are offering loans at a staggering 523.9% APR. The goods they sell seem to be overpriced. For instance a Henry vacuum cleaner for £130, when you can buy them in an "ordinary" shop for less than £100.

    They are also in the dreaded Christmas hamper market.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
