    all you would have to do with quidco is change the paypoal it pays to to the account of the member your paying off then each month once it starts paying you change the account each month to the next member.

    in effect quidco would pay off the persons debt. ill join this i need my morgage paying off.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
    Mortgage - £2,000

    Will you still be up for it when you receive a list of ppl to send it to that is 1000+ members long?

    Not everyone would need 35p from everyone to pay off their debts. If 35p was broken down into 7 payments of 5p then each person on the list would say how many members they need 5p from and then once their total is achieved an opening would occur for someone else to join. Those whose debt has not been paid off remain on the list ,..... and so on

    sounds like such a good idea but as i only joined in august (i think) i would probably get nothing as every1 would be skint/bored with the idea when it came to my time and my debt is only around £5500 so i'd be better off just dong loads of searches on quidco myself to make the £3500,
    right i wont be back for a week i will be on quidco!!! lol
