    I appreciate that but you misunderstood. I have credit and have a good history with it. I thi k my problem may have been due to previous address verification (it was a common online billing problem and i'm so glad to be in a house now)

    not sure how they are doing there checks as i ordered 2 sims
    one on its way 2nd same as yours done credit check
    both same name same address same card
    better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.

    Without this getting heated, it is something I tried to warn about at the time, and got pole axed for my trouble :D

    Having said that, my contract is due for renewal in 10 days, so am wondering if the criteria for credit accounts has been tightened up, and the sim deal may have nothing to do with it.

    The "heat" the other night was because you said i encouraged people to take the deal simply for the cashback. Something i didn't and wouldn't do. :p

    Gosh, not caught up but came to post big thank yous to Captainblondechick and pacifica9 for my SOS the other day.

    Saw the last few posts and am saddened by mad's passing. Sincere condolences to this family and friends.

    In memoriam.

    Happy to help.

  • I have an M&S store card.....I pay it off in full each month....no interest paid. I have no other credit anywhere. M&S declined me on a 0% interest deal for sofas over 2 years. Funny innit? Had been at this address for years - I just was not registered in enough places - it is poss at the time that I was not on voters roll at this address under my married name.

    It is as good a reason as any to do a deal - FREE CASH:D:D

    MSM has really let me down today :mad::mad::mad: Maybelline mousse is showing £1.49 for Tosco on MSL app and the Fosters and Strongbow are in a 3 for £21 deal. Also cheestrings are £2 in Tosco, not £4. I would be totally fuming if it wasn't that I had 4 Fosters and I put one on the checkout, I told the SA I had 4 but found later she'd only scanned one. You win some you lose some I guess :) I'll take the mousse back and swop it for a colour I can use, hopefully my post will stop someone else making the same mistake :)

    Hiya to you MAD lot, just been catching up reading all the lovely messages and great to see MIA Elite returning, to stay I hope

    Off for a trip to Asda to kill a fee APGs getting dangerously near their date, it will be odd looking for their offers instead of dear things cheaper elsewhere

    See ya all later :D
