Martin: "After an entertaining but exhausting few days presenting Good Morning Britain, I was woken perked up after reading an email to MSE. It inspired me to issue a clarion call to everyone paying interest on existing credit card debt... CARDE DIEM (ut hmm, seize a top card today) - as six lenders are vying to top the balance transfer charts, increasing your acceptance chances."

    I'd be more interested to know how John got three new balance transfer cards with zero income?

    I'm wondering if Martin knows that his name was put on this published article.  :*

    Fraud, I imagine.

    Two thumbs up for Martin and MSE for endorsing it.

    Then again he did back the completely bogus bank charges campaign (which was completely trounced in court) and the PPI "scandal" that was only a scandal because of all the fraudulent claims he tacitly endorsed.

    It doesn't say he currently has zero income. It says he was left with zero income a year ago, built up debt, and has subsequently transferred balances. He is now paying them off, which suggests he now has an income.
