Read this and wanted to say a huge WELL DONE on being so strong! So proud of you!

Go to Trading Standards and the OFT - these companies are the pits for getting their "admin fee" out of people and doing nothing for it. They must have some of the best paid administrators in the business!!!
-
The thing with Pounds Til Payday is to NEVER speak to them on the phone. Their "account managers" are basically glorified bullies and stop at nothing to force you to pay what you cannot afford. Ignore all calls from them, email them instead and within 6 weeks they will pass your debt onto a company called Clarity who…

OP is definitely desperate to sell - we outgrew this place years ago! The first viewing (parents buying for daughter) was a no because daughter couldn't fit her Porsche in the garage, I kid you not! Second viewing was trying to decide whether to put her house on the market, 3rd viewing never got back to the agent and 4th…

Just spoken to the agent and they're popping round to chat through options on Monday which is a start I suppose...
-
1st child but we've already got half our life in storage and as we both need some office space for our jobs there just isn't room to pop it in the box that is bed 2 :-(
-
Cheaper than most of that style for the area actually. Trying one more ad in the paper then I think we will have to consider reducing the price.
-
Is it worth looking at the rental market do you reckon?
-
I know we're almost halfway through the year but may I join in please? :j For me it has to be no more buying books until I've read what I have. When they're finished they can go on Bookmooch / Readitswapit or to a charity shop. I need to be able to see space on the bookshelves again. Also, no more DVDs until I've watched…

Free samples you get from beauty counters also sell - especially if you can get a few of each type. They're perfect for holidays!
-
OOooooooh can I join too and also extend it to my mother who, despite knowing we have decluttered in an attempt to sell the house, still passes on all the books she's read??! I'm currently reading "An Utterly Impartial History of Britain" by John O'Farrell - very funny!
-
Today so far I have done the following: Well, over the weekend we changed cars to a diesel so as I do 600 miles driving a week I hope my fuel bill will see a change! Done Onepoll surveys and a YouGov one Took a sandwich for lunch Checked banking and had a fight with an Amazon Marketplace seller (someone hacked into my…

Unpaid item eg bounced direct debit. Seems a little suss to me!
-
OK, Halifax have now suddenly dropped their charges from £35 to £15. Does this mean I can claim back the difference???
-
And they wonder why they have such a bad rap following the Baby P case???? :mad: Don't let this get you down - keep plugging away and follow the advice others have given. I really hope you get this sorted for the sake of the kids. The other option is to look for your local Safeguarding Children Board which is a council run…

Well so far I have checked online banking and done a few clicks as well. Sadly a NSD is not on the cards as it's my turn to buy the coffee at work!
-
Hi! Can you add me in please for 7 NSDs? First time I've committed to something like this so I'm starting low!! Will class my "spends" as DDs, SOs and petrol and bridge tolls as without them I can't get to work, plus food shops. Is that acceptable?
-
Howard Cohen are another branch of Lewis - they have the same address, phone number and everything. I would resend the letter to Howard Cohen and also quote the OFT requirements above. From personal experience, Howard Cohen and the Lewis Group tend to be very quick to go down the county court route but if the debt is in…
-
Hi Yes for the first 3 months they ask you to make your payment by Transcash through the PO on or as close to 1st of the month while everything is set up with your creditors. After that you can either carry on that way, or pay by DD/SO. I get paid on 28th so when I started with them I made my payments on payday. As long as…
-
Hi all Had a letter from Halifax today acknowledging that I am in hardship but that all they can do is offer me advice and not repay the charges! What do I do now - go to the FOS?
