provident - rant

we unfortunately a few years back got a provvy loan. bad mistake.

anyway our agent was our old neighbour who was a lovely bloke but he left 2 weeks ago.

has anyone watched that bailifs prog? that blonde woman who goes round collecting unpaid ctax? well im sure she is standing in my kitchen talking to mr mob like he's a five year old naughty boy because we had the audacity to go on holiday last week and thus werent in when she called.

a right snooty patronising cow. she probably thinks 'awww bless them the silly council tenants'.

anyways mr mob is giving back as good as shes giving. he's great my man.

and she hammered on my front door like the bleedin' mafia.

    In what style does a bleeding member of an Italian criminal organisation knock on a council flat door?

    The provy agents get paid on what they collect, not on what they earn. I suspect having to come twice for the one payment ate into profit margin.

    She was only doing her job, surely you know what these companies are like in the first place.

    i know she was only doing her job but there is no need to come into my house and start talking to mr mob like he was a naughty schoolboy. weve dealt with them for a few years and the agents we have had previous have all been nice and speak to you like youre human.

    there is no excuse for bad manners.

    So if you knew you were going on holiday why didnt you pay two weeks before you went?

    What a cheeky cow eh. Fancy knocking on your door hard enough to make sure you hear so she isnt standing there for ages waiting until someone hears here so she can do her job. Cheeky cow indeed. hmmmmm Also how cheeky of her to challenge the non payment that probably wasted her time and cost her money. Oh dear whatever next. Maybe she will do what I do and have the cheek to bother you by ringing your mobile if she calls one day and you arent home. Thankfully I have nice understanding customers who pay me double before they go on holiday or tell me they are going and pay double when they get back.
