Well, we still have not had a reply from Santander:mad::mad: OH has given me permission to talk on his behalf but of course Santander are saying they never received our letter (flaming typical, same old same old!!)

Anyway has anybody got any standing order details for Santander they could pm me?? OH is refusing point blank to talk to Santander himself so I might have to bite the bullet and just ring up and ask outright??? surely they want their payment??

And one of my standing orders for HSBC has come back:mad: so something else to sort out!!!!

grrrrrrrr!

Hi it's nice to know I'm not the only one around with a great big newbie sticker. All I've done at the mo is left my old bank account, I think once they realise ur on a dmp then they will add charges onto it anyway. Also I think Natwest is owned by rbs who are owned by lloyds so I don't know where u stand there with off setting. I'm sure someone will be along soon that can give you some more detailed advice x

Hi Joyanne I am just waiting for a load of charges, knowing Lloyds

Oh no- I was under the impression Natwest and Lloyds are not linked?! Could anyone shed some more light on this for me please?! Thanks

Help...the car's playing up, juddering when standing at traffic lights and junctions. We're taking it to a garage tomorrow but I'm scared it's going to cost money that we don;t have. We need it over Christmas...but haven't yet had money taken out from cccs. Would they allow us to move the first payment to the next pay day if we need it?

Call them, they will probably suggest you defer ands make a month of two of tokens. It wont make any difference to the start up as that's often rocky anyway. You need the car, it's not for a champagne Christmas.

I hope you get it sorted

Hiya Blushing Rose
Does your car judder when in left in gear but with the clutch dipped?Or is it all the time.?

It could be the cambelt, all the Vauxhall cars I've had have experienced that at some point in their life. See what the garage say and the cost involved.

If a cambelt slips a tooth or two, the engine would be very, very lumpy all the time, power would be lost and it would be a pig to start. If the cam belt breaks the engine would stop dead suddenly and probably smash some valves into the pistons wrecking the engine. I very much doubt if this is your problem BR. But you are right curioustom, Vauxhall's do have a Achilles heal, being the cam / timing belt.

Thanks folks - have just got back from the garage and it turns out that it only firing on 4 cylinders. They have replaced a spark plug and a lead, and only charged £5 - so all the mechanics got a Christmas hug from me!

*phew*
