    That is outrageous and you have every right to be :mad: Like you, I don't mind paying an appropriate admin or cancellation fee, but not THAT much!!

    I hope you get a result.

    Any word from Ricardo's cousins - the car insurers? Outrageous behaviour!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Glad you all agree with me, you can sign my petition. Have emailed them from works email addy which is a Solicitors ;) Can't believe they honestly think they can get away with it!

    BTD - I think it is much better to have the smaller things in the signature, makes things more manageable.

    Mac - tapering is going ok, have a slight injury at the moment so trying to be good and rest but it is so hard because I feel I should be out there training harder! I am running a Marathon next week :eek::eek::eek:

    Positive news is that I have raised £170 towards the car shortfall so only £30 left to get :j which means that it doesn't have to go on a credit card :)

    Will try and catch up with everyone's diaries in the morning, I have been very very negligent :o
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!
    08/06/09 - [STRIKE]£11,497.68[/STRIKE] NOW - £9,757.75
