Hi Outofcash,
Thanks, nope, didnt own my own house, I wsa prepared to enter into a DMP to pay the debt off in full, but they refused and they haven't got a penny from me, as no IPA in place!! Serves them right!!Saving target £6k by Aug 2011Raised so far £350/£6k0 -
Well said Out of cash. Houses should be bought as houses to live in not as a get rich quick scheme. Any fool knows that a countries economy cannot be run on house prices, yet the same fools keep harping on about the housing market recovery, while the manufacturing base ( what little there is ) gets shoved to the bottom of the pile. A country has to be able to make and sell stuff.out_of_cash wrote: »hi all,
only my opinion but i do think rupert bear is from another galaxy.
Banks lent way 2 much,they were extra greedy adding huge charges onto peoples accounts,not willing to negotiate fairly"ie" i am unemployed sorry sir we can help you we will shove your interest rate up from 4.9% to 34.9% i had 3 accounts with a major bank and they all done this to me in one way or another,it comes down to peoples circumstances can and do change .All the banks need to wake up smell the coffee and start earning their living when they underwrite loans because they are all to late and i for one wouldnt cry a single tear for any they are now getting a good kicking rightfully deserved.
only thing i regret is i didnt do it 5 yrs back, its 8mths into my br and still kind of toys with my mind have the extra stress of splitting with my partner of 16yrs and the sale of the house yet to come.I will really miss where i live,its just a 3 bed end of teraced house shared ownership obviously bought to live in and not a get rich quick scheme,just a home.Will walkaway with a bundle full of great memories and much sadness.
There is a cost in bankruptcy and i dont mean to the creditors its the emotional fallout that sometimes can come with this
Regards to all
out of cash.
Making piles of cash out of property is hardly the stuff of entrepreneurial genius and takes little or no imagination to achieve. It is no wonder then, that we now find ourselves being being out gunned by Europe, who sensibly did not follow in the great British disaster of home ownership at any cost.Better to be poor than a slave to wealth
