    Morning all!!! :santa2:

    Just have a question for everyone (as I find the people in the thread very helpful!) :)

    I was just doing a survey for Consumer intelligence that had a reward of £6 PLUS a prize draw of a further 100 £6 prizes. So I filled everything out... only took 5 mins. Asked for my nectar and tesco card details (thought that was ok)... and info about my car etc... then on the last page it says...

    ''You and your car Many thanks for answering these questions.

    In clicking the Submit button below, you are agreeing that Consumer Intelligence can use the details provided within this survey to obtain insurance quotations from third party companies for research purposes. As part of the quotation process, your details may be credit checked.''

    I have highlighted the red bit as the worrying part. Credit checked??????????? :eek: I have not completed the survey as really worried about that! What do you all think???? :cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Hi izzoh, if it's worrying you then DON'T have anything to do with it - I wouldn't!!!!

    Be back later everyone.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • I would very much like to be included in the sealed pot challenge. I will be using my old kenco pot until I can get myself down to the £ shop in the week and get myself one of those fancy jobbies, that you have to take a tin opener to!

    I hope it isn't counted as cheating in anyway, but I plan to give up smoking on the 1st of January 2012, and I will probably be putting the money I usually spend on rolling tobacco in the pot too! Healthy wallet, healthy lungs right? :P
