    So not too long to wait then; I don't think they can do much in the meantime.

    No not to long to wait but hey for some strange reason my phones have not rung today :eek: .

    Mind you, it is Friday, guess they want to go home early, as they are fed up with just getting a ringing tone :D
  • Why not take some control back and have a little fun? You know something they dont - that you are goiing bankrupt soon - and they aint gonna get their money. Try pushing them "off script". Possible examples - "yes I know I need to make a payment - how on earth can I raise the money - I was thiknking of prostitution - do you think thats a good idea?" Or "yes I am a bit short of funds at the mo - the local knackers yard may offer me something for the cats - I love them dearly but I know I have these debts to pay and cat food is sooo expensive - do you think I should have them put down and send the money I save to you?" The possibilities are endless - the point is - you have the upper hand here - there is nothing they can do if you are going bankrupt so dont let them intimidate you
