    ''£13,000 of creditcards written off so far, now only £4,500 more to have written off! ''

    Says it all really.

    Actually if you read his posting history, at one point he had a student bank account, he was then looking at getting credit cards because his credit record was so good, we then see a signature block (now removed) which refers to 18k of credit cards debt written off.

    Move on a few threads and we are now onto payday loans and basic bank accounts. No doubt next week he will want to know where to best invest 250k in an offshore account

    In essence the OP clearly has too much time on his hands and appears to have a tenuous grip on reality. T

    You can usually tell if a website is legit by the https prefix in the address bar.

    That's not true at all.

    Anyone - legit or not legit - can sign up for an SSL certificate and have the https prefix.

    In fact, it's increasingly common for scammers to do just that so that their site looks legit.

    hello.

    i need cash and quick to pay off a few debts phone bills, etc.

    i've seen a few sites which offer quick cash loans into my bank but i am worried about fraud etc. i know the apr is high but i'm only looking to borrow abpout £200 and would pay it back as soon as i paid end of the month.

    question is are there any reliable trustworthy sites like these?

    I've used Wonga.com quite regularly and always had the money paid in within the hour.

    It's really easy to use and is all done online so fast and hassle free in my experience. Obviously as you are aware these all come with a very high APR but sometimes, as we all know, needs must.

    The fact you're borrowing relatively little for a relatively small period of time should hopefully mean you don't get too whacked for interest.

    It works out (I think) about £1.00 per day for every hundred you borrow.
    When looking at the climb in front of you, don't forget to look back once in a while and see how far you have come:j
    and remember...
    All the worrying in the world won't change anything...so breathe:beer:

    I can also say that Wonga gave me superb service, money was in my account the next day (applied on a Sunday).

    Glad I read this thread tho, the OP just brightened up my day with his subsequent posts lol

    :D
