    Be clever, play the game mate! Apply for paper one, wait 10 weeks then appeal something on it and they must send you a new one. Then do the same again and you get a free report whenever you want lol....

    I paid £2 to each the CRA's when I SAR'd them - never since ;)

    This is what Village said

    Good Afternoon Innocent,

    As discussed I will agree to removing our search on you on the Equifax credit system, As stated there client I work on behalf of have the wrong details for the subject they are trying to locate. This person as a totally different date of birth to yours and I have contacted them and asked them to remove your address's from there systems. I am in the process of generating a report as an investigation company stating the facts that they have the incorrect information.

    Any problems do not hesitate to call me.

    I'm such an idiot. My iPhone has been playing up and the silent switch broke. I stupidly signed a contract today while out in town for a N97 for 24 months at £40 (though it's showing £34 on the sheet).

    I got home and it dawned on me how much of an idiot i have been. Vodafones return pollicy (looking at their website) is no returns for phones purchased in store unless you dont receive a signal.

    I'm going to try and go to the store tomorrow, claiming I cant receive reception in my house. If they say no, then it's £800 to end the contract (Sell phone on ebay, pay £500 from my own money).

    I don't know why I did it. I'm such an idiot. This is going to be a bloody expensive lesson to learn. I'm kicking myself now, as I always buy things without thinking. I need to start acting like an 18 year old not a 12 year old.

    As you can tell, I'm kicking myself now.
