    I know someone with an array of convictions including deception/fraud, and they have got everything they could want legally, (good accounts etc), also a good job with no checks etc
    For everthing else there's mastercard.
    For clampers there's Barclaycard.

    She LEFT me, she LIED, and she made me foot the BILL ! :mad:
