    the reason we are going BR is because when I opened my door one saturday afternoon an agent from a company just came walking in without being invited or showing ID - pushed me out of the way (please note I use a walking stick)and then starting going on about wanting more than what we are paying. Then asked to see my wage slip. I was in on my own and scared - he soon left when i rang 999.

    the next day he came back and went to my next door neighbour and told them that he had missed payments etc but was talking about us and then said he had the wrong house. and left an urgent letter for us - the same as what he had left with me the day before!

    funny things was that was one company we had never missed a payment with, they just wanted more money!:mad::mad:

    When I rang the office they said he was new and it won't happy again - to dam right it won't I've moved out and not given my new address !! :D
