  • I am SOoooooooo sick of ebaying - it's so tedious!

    I'll do anything rather than get on with it - even the garden leaves are a good alternative at the mo. :rotfl:

    Never mind - there's always tomorrow. ;)

    CAB chap on Nationwides case - so cross fingers he can sort them out. If I write anymore letters to Sally Davies I'll have to put her on my Christmas card list :D

    Haven't got any useful to add I'm afraid, but wish you the best of luck in sorting things out :)

    I've experienced Nationwide's wrath before - piling on bank charges for unpaid direct debits due to someone at my Uni not doing their job properly, so my loan installment was paid late. Despite a long letter explaining the circumstances, the :mad: at Nationwide piled on £300 of charges :eek: I got them though ;) They had to refund all charges plus interest and my court fee :D

    Stick with it, there's loads of helpful people on here and we all want you to do well :D
  • Thanks digitalphase. Need all the support I can get at the moment.

    Good luck with your own quest. icon7.gif

  • Just to let you know I am still around.

    Have been quite ill for last few weeks so not been on here. Haven't fallen off debt free wagon though which I think is really positive. Will post update in next few days - but things moving along ok and guy from CAB is brilliant.

    Hope everyone on here is ok - I've missed the contact.

    I was wondering about you too - glad to hear you're back - and that you haven't fallen off the wagon! Good for you, and I'm glad CAB are helping, it makes such a difference - I've been tearing my hair out with Virgin Media and its a nightmare - its little things so often - and then I spoke to one guy who actually understood. Hurray!
