    I have just voted for Moorcroft!!! They kept increasing my payments by 10% but not informing me so I'd then get a letter saying I owed £9 (as I'd paid my normal monthly amount) and that they were now taking me to court for defaulting on my agreement blah blah blah!!!

    Oh and my bump is sooooo much bigger than Immoral Angels its not fair!! And this baby is now 3 days late and I'm very fed up!!!!!

  • Hi. have voted for moorcroft as well. i wish there was a company called global debt recovery in there . Or FV-1. Nasty pieces of work. But got my own thread on those. But not many folk seem to know anything about them or had dealings with them. Might have to put up a new thread with a new headline to get it noticed more. xxxxxxxxx good thread here by the way

    Mercer's aren't in the poll.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    i must be special as im dealing with moorcroft and wescot at the mo and they cannot be more helpful and/or nice so cant vote for them

    but i will vote for rossendales for what they are putting oberonssh through

    and for the fact that as i used to work for them 10 years ago pre kids and debt
    so i know how their nasty little minds work

    she says running for cover screaming "i bruise easily"
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    Moorcroft is the worst, when they were chasing me for money they told me that paying £6.50 a week for my daughters school dinners was too much and that I should have given her bread and butter as a loaf of bread was only
    21p!

    They are the pits
