    And your reasons are.......

    1. registers to come on here to admit fraud.

    2. to not post back, but have a look at progress the thread has made at 9pm that night realised the bait had not been taken, and never came back to have another look.

    3.experience of these forums i avoided the thread when it was first published because i suspected it was a wind up, as many others who probably did the same.

    All based on speculation. However taking a positive stance on this it is a good exercise if anyone is in that position and not sure what to do.
  • I haven't been back on the forum as I've had a lot to be dealing with right now in my personal life. Yes it is a first post under this name however I'm a regular on this site and had no intention of asking this question through my usual username.

    Its less than a year and I don't receive much per month however I owe it back and I intend to repay it.

    Thanks to the posters with the positive advice. I intend to deal with it on Monday and I'm not sure when I'll have access to a computer to double check on comments if that's okay with some of the other posters.

    Just tell them. They will probably only backdate it from 06/04/12

    They will backdate it from the error/lie date.
