You borrowed the money you should pay it back, people can only be conned/scammed if they are trying to be greedy(you should watch hustle). You were being greedy by trying to get out of paying back the money YOU borrowed and YOU spent.
Outcome you could say is justice, your credit rating will likely be trashed, and you have paid an admin fee for the privilage.0 -

As I've said in a previous post I always make any payments and payback in full whenever possible, I've never had missed payments. I've not got any probs with paying it back and I'm certainly not greedy:eek:. I'm normally very astute with finances so If anything I've let my guard drop for a moment and have been scammed, it can happen to the best of us (obviously). My post on here was to see if anyone else had posted details regarding to Highbridge etc. and to seek any sensible advise. Also posting so if anyone else has the same happen to them then hopefully information posted will be useful.0 -
Fair enough Blord, I think Smithers' tone was a bit unnecessary and you're right, it's important that these scams are publicised.
Do talk to your lender, they may be lenient with your credit report and the fees (although they may not, after all you did try to get out of paying them even if it was through a third party).I'm a qualified accountant but please make sure you get expert advice as any opinion is made in a private capacity.
