    My husband and I both had calls this week saying that a change in the terms and conditions of our credit cards had been made, and as the companies hadn't told us, we could get the entire balances written off! When they asked me to give details of the balances on my cards, I said I had no idea who they were and wasn't prepared to give that info, and the gentleman hung up! Nice!!

    Crazy idea! Didn't you know the MSE boards are now all about bleating on about 'mis sold' and 'compensation' for things like, well, having an insurance policy in place, or a lender sticking to terms and conditions the borrower agreed to.
    Also be sure to use multiple !!!! and the words 'rip off' where possible, thus making the thread look even more pathetic and risible.

    Someone has just rung me saying I have been mis-sold my manhood and they can get me a much bigger one as compensation. Is it true?
