  • Evening ladies, the phone barrage has started: 4 witheld numbers since I got in from work at 6, answered one and it went dead, no messages left on the others. Pathetic, aren't we supposed to be adults?
    Oh, there it goes again. :naughty:

    Evening Prof

    I have a theory that if you speak to them they will go away, its certainly worked for me, mind you, only had 4 phone calls, but they were all talkable to, not too bright and some of them are clearly clinging to a script, but able eventually to get through to them.

    Good luck, let us know

    I'm really up for speaking to them, as if you remember BoS are my main creditor (3 CCs and a loan) and they advised me to contact Payplan. Anyway, it would appear that it's all part of the game we seem to have to play. :cool:

    Well, we all know they like to try and make us squirm.

    Thanks for birthday wishes for my DS he had a lovely day. Even his Dad turned up to see him. He got lots of cash from family and friends so I know who to go to for a loan :) Not that I will need to this month because fingers crossed by payday this Thursday I will have some money left over for the first time in ages. Feel embarrased about having to get a DMP but strangely good about not having used any CC's this month and not going overdrawn. I have even started to write down every penny I spend in a book as I was always switching here and there and forgetting what I had spent. :j

    Glad he had a good birthday :)

    I know what you mean about keeping track - a friend of ours is king of the spreadsheets with his own (immaculate) finances, so he's going to set one up for us to help us track everything.

    Morning everyone.

    I gave my last five pound note to DH today for petrol. The 60p left in my wallet should buy some biscuits… what an extravagant life I lead!

    Also going to pop into Specsavers to transfer my direct debit (contact lenses).
