Pleasure - would be interested to hear your thoughts. I only saw it for the first time tonight.

While i think the subject and clinic was strong - i was concerned there was too much of me and too much voice over in it - and not sure how well it flowed - a little slow starting I think we had so much info that the producers used voice-over as it takes less time rather than the clinic stuff which probably flowed better.

i thought it was well done but was too short it would have been nice if it had been an hour i liked the clinic i think it worked well to see real life examples
it would be good to have seen where the guy from the credit ref agency got his figures from

but i gained a lot out of it

Missed this, will watch on ITV player. Caught Martin on Countdown though and in my opinion he didn't talk enough on that.

I agree i think it could have been a bit longer; 45mins/1hr would have been perfect. But it was still really helpful:T

martin i know your ever so busy but would it be possible for you to do a big event with lots of different experts etc somewhere like the nec where people could get all this information that you give but also help themselves with workshops in day etc
with q and as with you during day etc ..

i would definatly book tickets

yes i thought it was to short. as someone who could possibly be going bankrupt in the near future, it really helped me, im only 25 and thought i would never be able to get a mortgage, and thanks to martin and the show its really opened my eyes. cheers (really suprised that bloke could get such a good credit rating)

robpw2

yes but that after 7 years but your still young stokefan so start saving now .. and in 7 years you should have enough for a decent deposit

I was amazed about the unused store/credit cards affecting credit rating. I am going to be writing to cancel 7 over the weekend. All have 0 balances on them.
