They decided they would try and belittle someone in front of everyone else to try and feel better about themselves. In my eyes thats bullying and it's bang out of order. Why couldn't they have posted constructively like everyone else?
For the simple reason that, in my opinion, Beetlebug knows FULL WELL that she has no business what . . so . . ever getting a backbreaker mortgage.
Yes, my post was blunt and with hindsight, perhaps a little harsh but I quite simply refused to believe that anyone with an IQ above 40 couldn't see why they shouldn't have a mortgage that weighed in at 5 X their joint income when they've got debts with unsecured creditors at £29K AND bad credit history.
It's not about belittling people, it's about getting the message through.0 -
I think we're all missing the point here. And that point is - 'what do you think of my new avatar"?0

there are ways of sending messages. But anyway, it's over with now.0

There you go again ! :mad:
This is exactly why I was harsh before. You have no respect whatsoever. I think you borrowed that money in good faith. No one twisted your arm, you just wanted what you wanted and the money was there so you took it. You sound like you actually resent them for wanting you to repay the money you borrowed.
If you're as young as I suspect you are (early - mid 20s), your attitude represents exactly what is wrong with today's celebrity-worshipping, binge-drinking, spend-spend-spend-for-tomorrow-we-die society and is morally reprehensible. As long as you get what you want and what your equally morally bankrupt peers say you should have then that's all that matters . . . F*** the lenders.
If you do get this mortgage, I positively GUARANTEE that you will be repossessed within 3 years.0 -
