    Poll suggestion

    Should the interest rates on credit products, such as credit cards, storecards, and loans, be capped by law some multiple of the Bank of England base rate?

    1 - Yes, storecards at 32% APR are nothing short of usury and prey on those too poor to afford reasonable credit
    2 - Yes, but the cap should be realistic because lending money is risky
    3 - No, the market will limit APRs, but there should be a credit ombudsman you can appeal to if your rate is unfair
    4 - No, I want those 0% balance transfers and somebody's got to pay for them

    Poll Suggestion

    Every January we hear about what the average family spends on Christmas and how much debt they get into because of it so how about a poll to see what members here spend
  • If they only had one choice, what would people spend their money on if they came into a windfall, like say, winning £100,000 or whatever....

    For example:

    a. A cruise/airtrip around the world
    b. paying off debts
    c. a new car
    d. invest it to earn more
    e. put it in the bank
    f. sex, lots of it ;D
    g. learn a new skill
    f. spend it all, just for the heck of it
    h gamble half (might get more!) and put rest in bank
    i. hire a hitman to 'take out' your competition
    j. start your own business
    k. use to bribe Martin for 'insider tips' :P

    It might be interesting to see where folks choose to put their money :)

    As you did a poll asking how much people planned to spend how about:

    "Now that Christmas is over how much did you actually spend?"

    How about a poll on whether anybody thinks the £2 surcharge imposed by the BPI on British and Irish consumers using CD-WOW is fair?

    I suspect we would not see too many thinking it is a good thing.
