    From Arnold Clark? How did you get so much on finance with such a low wage? No offence meant but thats 11 months wages is it not? Without overtime i mean. Im looking at 5-6k car over 2 years. Hopefully my dad will put his name down as i wont be able to.

    should have been £8995, i put down a £1500 deposit

    but because i was conned and on the forms i was told to ignore the value, but yea they addeed £800 of stuff i dont need :( so would be around £9600 ? not in the mood for counting money with being mucked about with the bank right now :(

    have no idea ? they passed me onto a company called ge money, i guess cos after the loan was through i couldn't get the £800 they conned me

  • So i phoned the fraud department says its closed, its only monday to friday 9-5, yet i phoned late at night on the 30th december my first call, maybe they were open longer hours over christmas with more fraud with christmas ?


    So that means i have to wait till monday now:(

    I can't even thing of someone who has waited this long in getting it sorted out.

    Haven't posted on here for a while. My target was 40,000 by June 2011 and I'm doing really well so far. Just got up to the 34,000 mark today so hopefully could reach target by end of this year:

    Isa: 14,330
    Bond: 12,000
    Savings: 7,700

    Good luck everyone!

    Thanks. Some of it is down to eBaying but most is from frugal spending. TBH, I have been saving like this for so long I wouldn't know what to do with my whole salary if I didn't have to save!!!!!!! :rotfl:

    I am glad I'm not the only one who is a sucker for ebayer! :rotfl:
  • I said i wouldn't post untill everything is sorted, my bank phoned today saying they want to make an appointment for a phone interview, and it will take 45mins.

    I have tried searching online about it as i have never heard of this.

    am so annoyed, i regret putting my bank details online, to go through this:mad:

    Lol well done on taking the plunge to ebay though! Try and keep the starting fresh aproach to it, i went off of it when i realised i didnt have much to sell and im still trying to think of what to sell to make me my first million! After a days grafting packaging stuff up is not something i personally would look forward to for 99p a time. Wheres that soa then? Lol. Thats such a good amount to save...more than is in my current account :( Well until friday when its payday.

    Soon be valentines day :kisses2:
