    P.S. Am proud to say I signed that petition as soon as Martin set it up... I don't think she took any notice of it though, did she?! :confused:

    I used to think Carol was quite a nice lady...:o now I point out to anybody and everybody who will listen to me just what low moral standards she has (trying to encourage others into debt just to keep herself in a lucrative contract!)...much to Mr Piglet's embarrassment!!;)

    well at least this debt isn't all mine personally ... just feels like it

    I make it about £20,000 for each person, so you are well below average :)

    I've been down the loan route a few times and even put the cc debt on the mortgage a few years ago. You realise you are in trouble, panic and it seems like the easy solution.

    I am home during the day, I don't put the tv on anymore, these adverts are so wrong they use the words "pay your debts off with one simple loan" etc and "for home owners" mean that it will be secured on your home :mad:

    p.s I think Martin asked that we don't discuss Miss Voderman whilst the petition is running due to legal reasons?

    dont worry piglet i dont have work 2morra and i have the bottle of wiskey out so my typing and spelling has went out the window. :)

    personally i think daytime targets the Housewife/husband the one whos not at work, the person that has free time to go out and spend money.

    im realy shocked at how easy anyone could get credit. im sure everytime i go into argos they ask me if i want a creditcard. Or everytime i go to town, OR the damm door knockers from provident, telebank oh and them idiots from buy as you view that willnot take no for a answer
