    Did you warn them before you borrowed that you couldn't repay?

    Yes but I am angry because they could have at least warned me they were going to take such a large amount out.

    They could have warned you.....and then no doubt you would have removed the money before they could.

    I did ask for my money back nicely originally but this was totally ignored.I only got heavy on my correspondence after this.

    Well that's one interpretation of events.

    Another is that Lending Stream got their money back, and now you would like them to lend it back to you again.

    Now given that when they lent you £480 you couldn't afford to pay it back to them, what are the chances they'll lend you £789, even if you "get heavy" with them?

    Classic.

    Still, at least that is chunk of your debts repaid in one fell swoop.

    Have they trashed your credit record into the bargain as well?

    Those letters where you got "heavy" will be floating their way to the bin as paper airplanes.

    .You have obviously all been caught at sometime.

    Have we? What evidence do you have to support that claim?
  • The fact that you are on this forum.
