    Ha! I have a credit score of 999 and before Xmas, CPW, or a subdivision of theirs, refused to supply me a phone based on their credit check.

    As I said to the guy, even Richard Branson can't get a higher score than that. :mad:
    The bankers stole my pension (and everyone else's). It should have earned a lot of money, but they took their bonus pot first.
