..............Before doing that you may want to check what date of birth you gave them.
If they think you mistated your date they might report it as fraud - if they do that then you won't get credit for a long time.0 -

I think id spent it all by the time i turned 18 to be honest but i could check. plaease can you explain why you think it's a non-starter? Obviously if they have done something they are not allowed to do i want to sort it but if there is a clause you know of i dont want to go down that route for it to be for nothing!Debt Free by Xmas 2014!
