    By the way I'm not a troll! I have been here a while, and post in relation to a number of issues. Trolls tend to be "newbies".

    What I write is truth, but if you are not interested or don't believe me that's completely fine. I haven't gone into detail about what I have and have not done - so please don't judge me.

    What I do is not the same, but I was making the point that I take every opportunity.

    Like when I saw out of date goods on the shelf in Sainsburys, I purchased them and took them right back to complaint - collecting my goodwill gift voucher.

    When my Amazon box arrived damaged, I complained so much my whole £149.99 purchase was refunded. (Goods retained)

    When my online photo delivery was delayed, I complained for a full refund.

    Meaning I saved a fortune on my Christmas spend! :T



    I'm not here to brag about my success recently, but I know I will succeed in clearing by debt because I am now wise with my actions and money.

    There is no need and never a need to be rude.

    Anyway Merry Christmas!

    You are not "wise", you are foolish - and fools normally end up in a whole heap of mess.

    Ok fair enough, explain why then? What have I done wrong or foolish? :cool:

    If I don't know? But you do, then please do educate me :D

    You sound like a scammer to be honest.

    I don't actually think he's bright enough to be a scammer.

    This is the dreamer who came on here asking if everyone thought it was a good idea of his to park a hamburger van he'd already bought on a relative's driveway near a school so he could earn £1,000 a day and not have to pay for a licence because he "knew" the authorities wouldn't do anything for three months. (He presumably knew this because in addition to being Burger Man he's also a Local Government manager. Or so he says.)

    His own self-description in his first post on this thread would seem to be the most accurate. I therefore apologise for calling him a troll when I should've said, amoral idiot.

    Of which both scenarios the company agreed to your requests. Tesco want their money so you're taking it to the next level by refusing to pay.

    Wise? You sound like a scoundrel.

    By taking your advice all op would be doing is creating more debt.
  • Ok I can live with some of the recent comments, maybe they are more true!

    Anyway if I make mistakes, I'll learn from them, I have learnt from my debt not to borrow money.

    I'm sure there will be others.

    My only advice to the OP was to avoid paying for anything, not via theft, but by being pushing and complaining - It's worked for me time and time again.

    As previously someone pointed out my morals are only with my family, I want them to have everything that they need, I'm not thief and don't take part in some of the scams/crimes that happen today - so I don't think I'm all that bad for trying to give my family a better life.

    As for the burger van situation that was completely true, people didn't agree, but again that was a matter for me to decide, I just wanted opinions - of which I got "lots". :D

    I think OP has got your message, I won't argue. :rotfl:

    I'm guessing you're also the type of person to see a pensioner drop a £20 note and pick it up & keep it when she's out of sight.

    Do you actually read what you write??? Your "advice" to the OP didn't refer to "pushing and "complaining" in any way, shape or form:

    Your actual "advice" was to encourage the OP to dishonestly profit from someone else's honest mistake. And your phrase "at all costs" is exactly what the mercenary OP will deservedly incur if that advice is followed.

    Coming on here as some kind of Macho Money Man -- wowee, look at me: I have no morals and am proud of it! -- when you've already told us elsewhere that you're 23 years old and married with two very young children makes for sad reading indeed.

    God help Society if you intend to bring your kids up in the same moral vacuum you inhabit.

    As for all these repeated assertions about how "wise" you are now and how much you've "learnt" from others, that might have helped your credibility were any of it true. But it isn't.

    A failed burger van owner who by his own admission is worried about how the State's long overdue reorganisation of the tax credits system might undermine his way of life, your "wisdom" currently extends to having almost £14,600 of debt in the acquisition of not one but two motor cars.

    The thought occurs that people need "advice" from a fiscally "wise" individual like you in the same way Custer needed more Indians.

    Seems to me that the OP spends too much time reading other OPs on here, and not enou reading the advice given in response. To the point they believe that every time a company makes any kind of an error, that gives them some kind of legal opportunity to get away with something.

    Assj was not the OP of this thread. (In case this was what you were thinking).
