    so if i applied for all the credit cards, and the loan on the same day.... all the companies would find out about all the other applications doing it that way?

    No you'd get away with it scot-free. And probably because they like you they'd just write it off and chalk it up to experience.

    Sorry, was that the answer you wanted to hear?

    I'd say you'd have absolutely no chance, other people have thought of these things before. You'd be lucky to get offered an amount of credit to make it worth your while - not a home owner, not on a high income and not a credit history to make you a good risk.

    Your call at the end of the day, if you've made the effort to post and reply to posts then I'd guess that no matter what people say here you'll try it anyway if you're going to regardless of the opinions posted. Hopefully you'll come to your senses though.

    What kind of rat race to you consider yourself to be part of at present?You've been unemployed for two years and have only been working a month, so I'm curious.
    Also while your credit record may be faultless-ie no missed payments, I would be surprised if your credit rating was good, given your personal circumstances.
    I'm with the rest of the posts on this one-it's a bizarre idea, not likely to succeed, and you won't get much support for it round it. And if by being 'screwed' on your return, you mean that the credit card companies will try to recover their money, then yes, you will be expected to pay it back-that's the deal, it is not free money.
  • And also many companies can now persue you over seas as well so even doing that might not be such a good idea, where do people think up these plans.

    I'm surprised the good folk on here have dignified your post with a response. Why ask us? Why should we care? I bet you were the kid who'd rob the tuck shop and ruin it for everyone else.
