i've had and passed on some good stuff,but sometimes it makes you laugh.i offered up a double bed,one guy wanted it delivered and wouldnt (as opposed to couldnt) pay petrol,one woman wanted it on a two week trial and another wanted me to trawl through 100's of pages in various catalogues to find one...

Another thing you can do is to use a psuedonym,i do it all the time when getting insurance quotes on line etc.That way if you get a letter with "that " name on it you know its junk and you can bin it with out even opening it.It must be amusing for my postman delivering letters addressed to mr marvin...

i know what you mean steve, when i was looking for an out of the motor trade i signed up with an agency and was approached to apply for a trainee managers job in the finance industry the usual stuff good benfits good prospects etc.i drove miles for the interview ,it turned out to be a group presenta...

You could try speaking to HIS insurer as a lot of the time they will be willing to sort out the repairs themselves as it saves them money and it saves you having to pay the excess( which is all claimed back from them at the end of the day).They usually provide a courtesy car even if you dont have on...

i wholeheartedly agree chris, i've worked with people who couldnt even be civil to collegues let alone customers,and they shouldnt be allowed to continue in the indusrty but they do. i dont believe that the customer is entirely innocent either, i had one call which i answered,i gave the corporate gr...

No disrespect to ray,but i have worked in a call centre and have been at the sharp end of some seriously rude customers,and sometimes you build up a 'defence' to it.i managed to stay happy and fresh but some of my so called colleagues 'defence' was to be instantly offensive to callers.seeing as all ...

i've just gone BR and this is what i've decided to do now that i can afford it (don't laugh) but i'm going to go to the dentist.for the last three years i havent had the cash to go and my teeth really need treatment.then i'll go to the opticians,i've managed to put that off for two years (anadins ar...

How can that be? i was told by the court that they could not and would not process my BR petition without the IP's discharge letter stating that the IVA had been officially terminated.

Be warned,a lot of agents use a company called 'homelet' as they offer an insurance service with a suitable credit report and agents and landlords alike take this report as gospel.it is not as homelet classify an IVA in the same category as a CCJ or BR when it isn't.Despite what you say to anyone, h...

Well I’m now officially BR. After a couple of hiccups with the paperwork on Friday, which was easily sorted, they declared me and my wife BR. I don’t really like it as it feels like giving up but given the circumstances and the fact that I have been fighting it for five years it also feels about the...

i've got my BR hearing on friday,hooray!!! especially after the debacle two weeks ago.however (and luckily) i requested a copy of my IVA discharge and have noticed some errors,and now i'm worried that my BR application will be thrown out.i'll summarise them into bullet points ip says my house has be...

One word of warning/information. A lot of lettings agents use a company called homelet to do their credit checks.For some strange reason homelet classify an IVA the same as a BR and a CCJ.I have spoken to homelet as this happened to me and they will not change it,they claim its all one and the same ...

oops [:I] i just checked on the governments IVA database to get some info on my iva and i have just found that a member of my close family has an recent IVA which i never knew about. should i say something? they never have (obviously) and certainly haven't even given me any clues that they have one....

i've worked in garages where the employees dont even know where the petrol goes [:)][:)][:)] as for the watch your back thing- if he's done it before he could do it again and if he thinks you are sniffing round he may do something stupid out of spite.[}:)] i wouldnt worry to much about him,hes out y...

A couple of thoughts, as someone else has said he may well have borrowed the car,or it may be he has a new GF and its hers.Also you have to be careful as the registered keeper isnt always the owner,they are different.if his name is on the docs it may only be for insurance purposes.Maybe he got a job...
