    I have no loans and I'm debt free. I have nothing to gain.
    This is all about some knowledge where I was aware, well you read it above without me repeating.
    I believe ALL material should be accurate where possible.
    Do you have an example of it happening?

    Do you mean like Reader's Digest, who used to sign letters about their draws from someone called Tom Champagne?

    Mr Champagne, was in fact, a genuine person, though most people thought he was made up.

    His successor, Tom Halfalager, did not fare so well. :)

    Good for you. Often however, those with such a suddenly developed and acute sense of accuracy and attention to such minor procedural or administrative details have, shall we say, less altruistic motives.

    Or perhaps you mean like Wonga who until 2010 were partial to sending defaulting customers threatening letters signed by totally made-up solicitors?

    Apparently this was not illegal but the FCA took a dim view, particularly as recipients were charged real solicitors' fees!
