    Hi amr547 - my mum was in a similar position as you with the debt collectors. A guy who lives 1 mile down the road used her address for letters and she kept returning them as "Not at this address" & even wrote the correct address on them but they ignored her. The debt collector turned up on her doorstep and was really friendly and apologised for the inconvenience. I opened one of the letters as I was so cross and rang the people hassling my Mum and threatened them with Trading standards. We haven't heard from them since.

    I am sure there are others on here who can help.

    thanks :) i've been returning the letters and writing 'not at this address' but a lot of people haven't bothered to update their records. i only opened this one cos i was getting annoyed :rotfl: they can't just break into my home while i'm out can they???

    No they can't.

    Nor, for that matter, when you are in.

    Phew! Well that's a load off my mind.

    We went out shopping yesterday, can't believe how tiring it was !! We have spent FAR TOO MUCH this week so it's gonna be a quiet, hopefully not-much-spending week!:eek:

    on the upside i am prepared for cold weather!!! i bought some cosy socks, a onesie and even a blanket for the bunnies :rotfl:

    hoping the shed arrives soon. my MSE-ing:money: led me to Freec*cle to look for lino and someone kindly donated enough for me to fill out the shed floor!! So that saves me a pretty penny on buying some new from somewhere :D We bought some preservative to paint the shed with, it was 2 for £10 so we bought another pot to start painting the fences with as well. They're all different colours... slightly odd. All we need now is a roll of weed guard as we are overrun at the moment!!!

    We also discovered sugar soap on Friday. AMAZING! My carpet looks like new :rotfl:

    My freezer is broke (might as well include fridge) My washer is broke and my cooker is broke hahaha!! Though I wont borrow to replace. Managed to get a very old, but working cooker for nothing and should be able to replace freezer soon enough, I'll just do one at a time.

    Been diagnosed with diabetics two weeks ago, there not sure if pregnancy related or type one. But its caused me loads of problems, my baby is already bigger than my first at full term with 8 weeks to go!!

    Happy ive managed to add another payment to debt, payed my first 10% off
