    It would be much better if people just took the time to type in full. There is something in my brain that just resists these abbreviations and I can't follow the threads which is a shame given the fantastic advice that is usually given

    For those of us who have been on here for ever I am afraid we do get a bit complaicent and expect people to understand BUT in our defence when we are answering the same questions every week then it becomes so much easier and quicker to write. I am afraid it would do my head in if I had to keep writing Official Reciever, Beneficial Interest, Bankruptcy Restriction Order, Individual Payment Agreement etc. etc.
