    Jamesy... you star :D

    Can I just add (as I originally posted the prize) that this comp is purely for those with a debt so its not open to everybody, if you was to win you would have to provide documentation of any unsecured debt/loan you wanted paid off

    Just giving this a bump. Over on the comps board we really do win prizes. If you have never entered anything before, I would encourage you to give this one a go. It is long odds - but we do win long odds competitions.
