    well done snoopy.......AD will pass with but a murmur...and an update eventually on your IS record.....

    next step to look forward to, is the complete removal of your details from the IS site...after about 3 months...

    after that, you can undergo the joys of a credit file clean-up......


    regarding credit?....Doesn't BR actually make you realise how much this credit lark really is a con?

    We don't actually need it.....but what would our erstwhile financial institutions do for a living, if they didn't/couldn't convince us all, live is not worth living unless you have a line of credit?
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    i agree when u go trough hard times then you see the light, who needs credit cards and there high rates for the low income people. my son moved to a flat with girl freind, within a short time it was the brighthouse store for tv, oh second hand and they charged 3 times more than a new tv same spec. got them to return it, and found them a tv for 130.00 32" flat screen from m8, they whent to secondhand pornborkers, giveing there bits in for a small amount and paying back a large amount. i have helped them as well this year to get out of that, and now they see just how stupid it was. if only we could see the future and change the past. ;)

    May I wish you all the best! When I had a letter this month saying I had early discharge the feeling was one I could not discribe! But yea it does make you re-evaluate your life! For me wish I had done it yrs ago! But young enough to re build my life and some savings as guess what NO Crdits cards or debt just the usual bills and mortgage and guess what if we have not got the money for then we dont have it.

    But ebay has been such a blast and done most the kids shopping on there and got them 10x more than for toys r us!

    A big thanks to all on here who helped me too

    I am nearly discharged and agree with you, I will never hold a credit card in my hand again or borrow money on a loan, no cars on HP I am so much happier without it xx I think we should all try and educate the public on the danger of letting a bank rule your life :T After all our grand parents never had plastic:A
    If you woke up this morning congratulations, you have another chance :j
