    Im putting in a complaint with the sun due to the factual inaccuracies in the article and the implcation that all women who go bankrupt are behaving similarly.:mad::mad:

    I am so angry!!!!!
  • cant believe that story, that has really upset me, silly bint, the second one I had sympathy for, even if she was incorrect about the debit card situation

    and my oh wonders why I dont want it made public that we were made br, its because of the rubbish that comes out of the first girls mouth that makes all people think that br are nothing but ponces, as what was shown on some of the comments :-(

    You do have to wonder how truthful that article is?

    Of course the Sun never exagerates or makes things up. ;)

    I may be naive, but surely someone can't be THAT stupid?

    Sadly, I'm probably wrong. :(

    I doubt she got that level of credit by being honest.

    If not, then she may well end up in court for more than the BR?

    This story must be a joke - surely! If not I hope SUN didn't pay her for her story and she gets everything she deserves in life... GrrR!

    Kerry - what did they say when you phoned them?

    I fear there will be a backlash against BR's thanks to this article - watch for the trolls!!

    Also,I have already had a falling out with someone who I used to think of as a friend over going BR, this will just help to make her feel all the more vindicated.

    I hope that this lady gets a nasty shock when/if she does go BR, and I hope that it is made public, in a ooops I got it wrong and look at me now kind of way.

    The thing is...and i know im repeating myself....without having a glass of wine...but i worry for England about going BR. I over analyse every detail. But there she is showing off and delighting in it all. I truly hope it doesnt make things worse for us BR's-to-be and im also hoping that she wakes upto herself. One minute shes saying she doesnt want her parents to know then she is in the sun. However, my husband ended up in the the News Of The World, Sun, all the the papers a few weeks ago (not his name) but he was a person that was helping the police on a case and they got all his details and most of the story wrong too...so you never know. Im only pleased he didnt do a story with them or else god knows how it would look:)

    I normally dont like to judge but today...
