    what is it with Women and Handbags and shoes for that matter?
    Whenever the question 'But haven't you got 10 other handbags/shoes' is aksed by me, the answer is always something like 'Yes, but not in this colour/size/shape/style*' *delete as appropriate.
    Can one of you explain the handbag/shoe thing to me?


    nope, and if you don't understand me by now, you never will.......

    Pepe I haven't really got any money to offer all peeps full and finals but three of my creditors have off their own back offered me settlements. However, I am a bit unsure as to how it reflects on my credit file...will it say partially settled...settled in full :confused: or does it even matter..i am not likely to want or get credit for another six years...

    On the one hand I am wanting to pay ALL debts incurred - just to have the satisfaction (nuts or what!) and on the other I want to get rid of my debt and beat buffy to the dfdate...

    You have to make it v clear to a Creditor that if you accept their offer ( try and knock them down a bit anyway:D) that you would expect your File to be showing the debt as Settled.

    Keep me posted. x

    edit; if you def dont want any Credit for 6 years then, no, it doesnt matter.

    Something ike this Sammy....

    Thank you very much for your kind offer to accept ( say ) £2000 as F & F settlement of my debt. Whilst it is a more than reasonable offer, with my Financial Situation being as it is I find that I will only be able to raise £1600 towards this figure.

    I have managed to raise this money through the kindness of my Family ( on the understanding that it is used for this purpose only and as a once only offer) and would ask you to consider this as a suitable amount for the Settlement.

    Thank you once again, your understanding of my offer would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to your early reply.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    It can't be the same for all women can it - that handbags and shoes are their biggest weakness and there is ALWAYS room for another pair or another bag?

    I am sure it is genetic as I don't get it........sorry Maz......
