Now...onto the MSE news...

Well, first up I should confess that I didn't fall of the MSE wagon...it was more a double backflip whil holding a credit card and cackling....:o

What's different about this time, is that I *ahem* came to quite quickly, took back virtually everything I'd bought

:T It's not the mistakes you make, it's how you deal with them that counts.

Back to 'Depositgate'...given that I was expecting around £21 back from my £1200 deposit (you'll remember the hassle at the time), you can imagine the look on my face when I saw the cheque for over £500!!

Ohhhhhhhhh Missus Knitty, how blimmin' wonderful.

I am absolutely, completely, utterly, genuinely and deliriously delighted for you :j:j:j
It's nearly as good as being debt free myself. What a fantastic feeling it must be :T

But *throws eyes round in a wild panic* you're not going to leave us are you? What will I do without you???? I shall have to hunt you down and stalk you with my purple lycra on demanding you come back to play.:)


The NSD crown has been transformed into a DFW crown with sparklers and silly string adorning it and it is yours, all yours. Wear it with pride. :T

Silly string, you say...:D Lordy - no, I'm here for the long haul!! Previously I wouldn't have taken back the stuff I bought on my credit card bender, and I'd have been spending that ppi money rather than using it properly (even now I have to stomp on the urge!), so I figure you lot have been a huge factor in my shifting throught pattern and I'm not about to give you up any time soon! Ooo, does this mean I'm not allowed a DFW diary anymore?? :eek: *plots to stay where she is and keep quiet*

I've still so much to learn - I've never been debt free as an adult, so I've no doubt I'll need help! First stop next week is at the friend who's fab with money - I've asked her to sit with me and help me plan what's best for the settlement etc so I start as I mean to go on.

As for the rest - tbh, haven't really got my head round it yet. Doesn't seem at all real.

Insanely easy. My main one was with Tescos - and though I followed Martin's advice from the main site, I actually ended up ringing Tescos as that's their way of dealing with the claims. So for the cost of a phonecall, I had nearly £6.5k returned. Took a little longer than either Tescos or I anticipated as I moved house (twice! ) right in the middle of it, but since the general advice is not to count on getting anything, I didn't mind the wait.

Have others to follow which I suspect will be less straight forward, but this was the biggie. Cannot recommend the MSE reclaim pages and forum thread highly enough.

This apparently pleased the MSE Gods, as on Tuesday this week, I got my ppi cheque from Tescos, received my Tescos clubcard vouchers, got a cheque from Zapper for some things I'd sold, got the remainder of my rental deposit back (more on that in a mo), AND got notice that I'm finally to be given my redundancy - 29th Feb!

Back to 'Depositgate'...given that I was expecting around £21 back from my £1200 deposit (you'll remember the hassle at the time), you can imagine the look on my face when I saw the cheque for over £500!!

Huge Huge congrats really pleases for you that is such great news:j:j

Im on a DMP and have some time to go yet but have to admit its stories like your that keep me going and knowing one day it will be me

I have been thinking about trying to reclaim my PPI on an old loan and credit cards, still reading up on it.:o

I went to see the doctor yesterday and have been signed off for a further two weeks so it will give me some time to get organised.
