    I didnt think they could sack you for being pregnant no matter how long you've worked as its a protected status and would be classed as discrimination?

  • I have tried every in and outs. He then said it was from me being cheeky.

    Said my contraception was his business etc "got all this recorded"

    It was husband and wife that own it.

    Went in at 9am (we had a big argument the day before about my mobile phone contract with the company which I paid!)

    Went in the next day and gave him the SIM card back and told him I was pregnant again (they knew I was pregnant a couple of months before that ended in miscarriage and was told I would be a single mum you see up the high street pushing a pram milking the government for everything I could get, even though I was engaged) anyway said I was
    11 weeks pregnant again and he laughed in my face. Then got a text message at 4pm saying my contract was terminated with immediate effect due to my outburst.

  • 154??? I have 878 and can't even open a basic Barclays account for people who are bankrupt...It seems having unpaid defaults is worse than being bankrupt

    The scores are just numbers made up by the sites. They dont mean anything, and they are not what prospective lenders see.

    As the above post says; get a credit card (vanquis do one for bad credit) use it each month, and pay it off in FULL

    oh please..there is no way you are going to get a credit card even with a settled default...just wait them out, don't pay any of them because it makes no difference

    electoral roll will make no difference if you have defaults

    like me, you are f*cked for 6 years settled or not..nothing you can do except threaten them with letters and hope they will remove them due to a small error in the date etc

    I've got 2 defaults and 2 credit cards, one with a £1950 limit.

    Mind you my 'score' is 999 even with 2 defaults, 4 accounts with late payments including a mortgage which went into early arrears!

    Pay no attention to the numbers, just sort out the data and run your accounts responsibly.
