Well done for writing a letter. You are one of about 5% of people prepared to do so.

Hence why i really really think there needs to be some kind of financial lessons when at school!!! I still remember when I got my first credit card and didn't understand exactly how it worked as I had only had a debit card up till then and had a mild panic over the CC lol. Now if I had had a lesson that explained how CC's worked, loans worked and what to avoid etc I am pretty sure it would have helped. Why this still hasn't happened in schools I am at a loss.0

This is where I think these loan brokers are actually providing a good service. For £70, they will teach you that you don't throw your bank account details to anyone who can build a webpage.
And they'll even refund you the £70 if you can operate a pen and paper and correctly identify a post box.
To me, that's pretty good value...0
