  • Good grief A2C, no flaming from me. Thank you for such a helpful and informative post, it's really very much appreciated.

    I think I see what you're saying - that it might be that my OR thinks I ran up debt that I probably should have known I could not repay? I guess all I can do is be as honest as I can be and hope that he believes me...... I swear, I never borrowed anything that I thought I could not repay :(

    But thanks again for your time, it's very good of you :)

    Hey Scarlett, don't know if you remember me, but you were very kind to me when I was going through BR. I haven't been around for a while but saw this thread. So sorry you have both had to go through this, after such a length of time after BR as well! Glad that OH's interview went ok and I wish you well with yours. xxx I do know what you are going through. I am still waiting. Went BR on 3 July, have had 2 phone calls from OR, first call wanting info off me for loans I paid off for OH and he said we might have to pay them back and second phone call, wanting to investigate my last remortgage and did I take it out knowing we could not pay it back as I left work the same month. It completely freaked me out and I was worried sick. I do know what you are going through. I sent all the info back well over 3 weeks ago and have still heard nothing. I am hoping no news is good news and have now stopped stressing over it. I know we didn't take that remortgage out, knowing I would not be working, and I provided him with all the proof, but if I get a BRO, then I get a BRO. A lot of people do get it sorted out on that first phone call, but unfortunately some of us do get put through the mill a while longer, but who said going BR was the easy option. We will all get there eventually! Hope you are ok. xx

    Hi summer,

    Of course I remember you smile.gif

    God, you're really going through the mill aren't you? I'm really sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you.

    Hopefully that old cliche will prove true for both of us - what doesn't kill you makes your stronger wink.gif

    Take care of yourself,
    Scarlett xx

    Pmsl laughing-smiley-014.gif I haven't really got anything slinky & sexy! I can do the low cut top though and I don't need the chicken fillets wink.gif I can definitely do the 'dropping things on the floor' too - I shake like a lunatic when I'm nervous laughing-smiley-014.gif

    According to Potless he was "young and good looking and looks like he works out"! Am now imagining a slightly less green version of the incredible hulk!

    Lol @ max!

    Promise to update as soon as I can D xx
