    Do you have any life besides this message board? I am stuck 60 miles away from my family. Whats your excuse?

    Directed at me I take it? When I'm trying to help you?

    Well, the reason I'm online is that I'm sat in with my OH, watching the telly - instead of being out blowing money that I can't really afford to spend at the moment. I know the limits of my finances.
    My posts are my own opinions based on my experiences and info gathered from sites such as this.
    They are not a substitute for professional financial advice - but you knew that already didn't you? ;)

    After I was rejected a mainstream loan suddenly I was flooded my post/email/text a million companies who somehow KNEW i was in financial difficulty, and knew full well I would give in to them.

    My OH has never had credit and his e-mail is flooded with these as well as "debt problems? we can help" emails. Its called spam everyone gets it. Its not a conspiracy!
    :AWhatever it is - I didn't do it!:A

    Offering someone £5000 is embarassing? Best I can offer, sorry...
    If anyone wants to saddle themselves with £20k of unsecured debt I'll offer £5500 (MSE pricewar starts now)
