    That was a pointless attribution. Unless the site do so, it won't be removed, so I would consider that re-quote with no context a spam item, which is not allowed on this website according to the rules.

    New Zealand are welcome to you.

    And what’s with the long winded writing style?

    I hope Amex find you and get their money back.

    How I write is not relevant.

    New Zealand are welcome, I am sure their taxes are better spent than the United Kingdom. As far as Brexit goes, your country will need every penny after the transition period has finished.

    AMEX will need more than luck to retrieve their debt. If it came down to it, I would pay back the amount remaining that I borrowed, no interest. The Consumer Credit Act which regulates the credit agreement is not valid in New Zealand.

    As I am not a British passport holder, thankfully, the British government will not provide assistance to American Express, especially due to not holding my new residence on file

    Who was the Financial advisory?

    Did you not pay them as well which is why they are no longer with you?

    Credit cards are a good tool to spread costs and to earn rewards if you have half a brain in how to operate them successfully.

    Spending more than you can afford to pay back is not a clever move.

    Running away from debts is a cowardly act.

    Yes-that's my opinion

    My advice-In case you choose to ignore it again.

    PAY UP

    The financial advisory had direct access to the businesses cash flow, their fees were automatically paid annually. They earned it and didn't charge interest on their invoice.

    American Express are one in thousands of despicable creditors. My opinion is for the British government to further regulate lending - of course, that would make the big corps upset, which would haunt the economy.

    Dear Duke Fred of Stoworthburyton

    Thank you for your internet scribblings. I am writing a post as well, which is self-evident from this sentence, but I am writing it anyway.

    If "despicable creditors" didn't lose money to people deliberately stealing money, maybe the rest of us would be better off. I look forward to reading about how you cheat the good people of New Zealand.

    Yours sincerely

    The General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Derps, Mrs (deceased)

    You are all like a pack of wolves, hunting for fresh meat.

    How do I become part of the "opinion" pack? Do I need a few more stars and badges to become righteous and correct or is there a FastTrack ticket available?

    Please do enlighten me, since you all seem to know best.

    You can mock me @derps - but there is one issue, you cannot be part of the gang, you are lacking a 10 year + registration length, 5 stars and a slew of awards. Come back next time.

    lol why did you edit your posts to move the same comment to a later one?

    Sorry if my humble account undermines your theories about "clubs". If everyone disagrees with you, there must be something wrong with everyone else!!

    I felt like it, do you have a problem with that?

    Who said anything about the word "club" - I used the word "gang" in my post. Your account doesn't seem to meet the mark, but perhaps sucking up to them might earn some respect?

    It is not the opinion of "everyone", it is the opinion of the "diamond elites" to be generous with describing it.

    When one diamond elite member does not approve, the rest cannot, or it would contradict the gang's reputation for forming a majority opinion out of thin air.

    @worried jim The word "plonker" - what does it mean? I apologize, we are not part of the same demographic, therefore I cannot understand your common tongue.
