    Did they slap on payment protection insurance? You can usually get it removed easily within 30 days if they did.

    To many that seem not to like my posts......do you really think you are helping the OP by offering advise without knowledge of his situation. How do you know anything to help him without knowing a full SoA. I'm sorry you may have some sincere feeling of TLC and LOL but that wont pay his bills. As he goes bankrupt he may sing your phrases or he may not.
    Friend,. post your full SoA and get good quality advice or choose to receive TLC that wont pay any of your bills.
    This board is full of people with their heads in the sand....dont be one of them

    I dont do TLC or LOL but I do read the numbers ....choose whatever...I wont post again.

    I understand where you are coming from. I think it was the way you said it that could be interpreted as being 'off handish'. I was not aware of an SoA and other members might not have been, yet it takes the tlc and lol to give you confidence in wanting to ask and find out more rather than running back to sticking your head in the sand.

    I have now realised earning more money won't make me richer but clearing my debts will!!

    I asked whether this would affect the decision..whether I would be more likely to be accepted if I agreed to it but they guy said no. To be honest he was really helpful and saw that even though my financial situation at present is not stable..after the three month payment deferrment I would be better off and comfortably make my loan payment.
