Evening..... currently scraping around the forum to get up to speed!
I see n-i-d is still as active as a kid on orange smarties!
I was a bit sad to see that my credit ref thread has been neglected by noah
I will take it back if it isn't refreshed soon.

I think I will take the thread back over - there's been no more updates since noah took it over! It's a useful thread and don't want to see it go by the wayside.
How's things with you? See you're still lusting after an iPhone..... I'll pi$$ you off now.... I've got one!! Best phone ever
If you can wait 9 months I'll sell you mine at mates rates!!!

I'm defiantly lusting for one, she's one hot babe.
I'm jealous!! And annoyed! LOL
I wonder what they look for on people's Credit Files, do they have to be completely clean?
I wonder if it's my satisfied default. Mmmmm :rolleyes:0 -

According to a friend of mine who works in an O2 store the credit scoring is slightly higher for iPhone because it is a high value handset. And leave it at least 3 months between applications.
I've declared my ownership of the CRA thread once more!!
Is PROLIANT still about?

Good, it's nice to have it back.
I've seen him about recently, I think he may still be !!!!!! off about a few things (people)
.
I'll wait until October then before I apply for an iPhone. If I wanted a different handset on O2 I may pass then?

May be worth getting your foot in the door with O2 with a Simplicity first?

ahhh how sweet of you to remember me!

Thats a little harsh, he was last on last month (remember he's just had a kid and stuff)..... anyway Underground hasn't been in for 2months (since May lol) :rotfl:so I personally think it's wrong to come in and try to take over a thread that is 2 months old, cancelling out the most recent version. It defeats the purpose of what we are here for - that is not to compete with one another but to help and who runs the thread doesn't matter one iota!
I for one will continue to use the newest one, created by (doesn't matter), found here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1678785&highlight=
Proliant seems to hang in the loans/credit cards threads although I did chat politely with him the other day, which I guess was a first for both of us (I even thanked his very useful post)......
I have nothing against him, let me clear that up. We just disagree on certain things and that is perfectly normal. I agree with unenforceability and the 'law' whilst he agrees with repaying what you borrowed. Nothing wrong with that, just differnce of opinion.
To be fair when I joined, along with several others, Unenforceability was kinda new so there wasn't that many arguments but now more and more people come just to get specific unenforceability help so I think we have added a lot of useful input and long may it continue - regardless of whether we agree, if it helps others then that is all that counts......
