    I should have pointed out that I don't intend to apply for a Mortgage until this time next year, a few months after the last 'bad thing' falls off in July. A broker is probably the way forward, not sure why I want a high street lender? Maybe I was under the impression you needed a bigger deposit with a Broker.

    Funny how Oscar gets 5 years for Murder and some people have to wait 6 years to prove they are 'reformed' in terms of how they handle money, especially when if I kept working I would of been ok! Damn you recession!!!!!!!!

    P.s tried writing to a couple of creditors and Nito! What is the point of even trying, they probs here same thing day in day out!

    Wasn't murder though, was the equivalent of manslaughter and it's a different jurisdiction - can't get much in the way of credit in prison either :P

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
