    What nonsense. No one has a gun to your head. Take responsibility for the decisions you make.

    if you are so disgusted, go to gumtree usually no agents.

    Agents take a fee from the T and LL and gov to put a stop to this.

    You seem very angry, not sure why but ATB :)

    Pun's mum's opinion of me is a confidentail matter between her and me (or should that be 'her and myself'?)

    I now wonder if Pun's comment was aimed at the OP rather than you.


    I also wonder if the OP's use of 'your mum' as an internet riposte indicates that they shouldn't be allowed web access unless supervised by a responsible adult.

    Hmmmm.... after reading a few of the OP's other threads - you could be right!


    Bit of an obsession with bad-mouthing various companies/organisations etc.


    Sorry Pun!

    I agree fees are a problem, but if you leave the contract early that's what happens, like if you left your phone contract early there would be penalties to pay as well. Agents are pretty bad for their fees though, I think there is a government policy being talked about to scrap the fees, when this will happen I am not sure
