  • No I was not aware of the loan when it was taken out. She used the money to help out her mother and father who live in the UK.

    In what language does 24.9 mean something else?

    Language has nothing to do with it. Can we assume she knows enough about numbers to request a loan.

    The racist card you have placed is disgraceful.
  • Why has it taken her 10 months to realise the APR? Surely this is one of the most important figures to look at when initially taking out a loan and making your decision on whether to proceed?

    Exactly my thoughts.

    Why also are threatening to report us all? Is it because his Mrs can't read? If so, we are all guilty!

    I know we cant do anything in our own country.

    At my local gym there is even a womens only section so the Muslem women who arent allowed to see men can work out in.

    When I went to Rome to look around the Vatican my partner couldnt go in wearing a vest top and shorts. No one changes their countries to suit us!

    Will say goodbye to you now then :wave:

    There is a thread on the business forum where someone has moaned, quite unfairly as far as I can see, about a leasing company which is run by a Chinese lady (in the UK) and she wrote a very good reply to the complaint which the mods deleted. It now looks like all her posts are deleted in that thread while the biased complaint remains.

    There is some very worrying moderation on these forums which i think is not going to reflect well on Mr Lewis in the long run.

    Quite right too. How insensitive to think that would be OK.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    Definitely.
    The mods do get a little trigger happy when they use their own personal view rather than look at the bigger picture.
