Why do I keep seeing adverts on this site for freescore.com? It only appears to work if you have an address in USA. This is a UK forum. WTF!

How long is it that information stays on your credit report? I dont usually check my credit stuff as I dont normally need credit. But I thought I would today and found that I have bad credit lol. I found that a credit agreement back in 2007 had missed payments and its still showing. I know I...

I got in the car after a meeting near Portsmouth yesterday afternoon and as soon as the car moved the parking brake warning went off - it's happened before but has been curable by (a) releasing the parking brake (doh!) or (b) stamping on the brake and letting it fly out with some force. This...

i have just been refused a mortgage, but cant understand why. any one know how can i view what the banks are seeing, ie my experian score, without having to pay a 'refundable' fee up front on a credit card.

Our preferred method of accepting payments is by BACS. However, these days some customers are slow to pay and we have had some people who have failed to pay at all. :mad: So, I think the time has come when it would be easier and safer to start taking payments by credit and debit card. My...

I'm new to the credit card scene as I only like to spend money I have, but I've not run into a scenario where I cannot keep to this 'ethic' of mine! :dk: Lets say I wanted to buy something off somebody privately, actually he is a mate but I dont have the money on any of my cards to give it to...

My recent purchase and current vehicle wasn't bought as an approved used, instead coming from Sytner Specialist Vehicles located at Tollbar Volvo, Warwick. It has 6 months MB warranty remaining. I usually buy approved used to enjoy the comfort blanket it provides (though I know others...

I have never owned Mercedes Benz so decided to try one instead of my usual BMW and Saab. Went to the showroom and drove the CLC 160 that is a bigger difference to a 2.0 turbo engine but I liked the car. Put down a deposit of 1000 pounds and the dealer came back telling me that it would take 12...

This was emailed to me on a round robin oday, via a reasonably sensible source. I wasnt able to validate it, but it doesnt seem too far fetched. HD :cool: This has been passed on via another Force area through our own Fraud Department In Wiltshire Constabulary, and it is a very convincing...

Hey Guys, What service do you guys use for credit checks on tenants. I've been letting out homes for a while but have never really tried credit checks as I've never had a problem before. Just wandering if you guys use a reputable online service which someone can recommend? Cheers Duffman :)

Anyone know anything about the Paypal Credit card available?

Hi, I know that companies are entitled to surcharge for Credit Card purchases. But I can't find legislation noting the steps a retailer must take to inform the customer i.e. are they permitted to tell you just at the point of sale or is there any requirement for this to be written in T&Cs...

My New Office. :o NEWER PICS IN POST 13!

Linda is the proprietor of a bar in Cork. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around...

Received this morning with a balance of £0.00. Also enclosed was a prepaid envelope with which to send payment. Should I send a cheque for £0.00 and hope this will cover it?:D p.s. needs paying before April 10. Don't you just love automated banking.

Usualy I pop on down the the Eastern European car wash and have the cars cleaned inside and out the range rover costs £15 and the A class £10. Today i decided to wash them myself somthing i have not done for 2 years! So after £50 spent on cleaning products and 2 hours later this is the...

Hi to you all! I'm new to the club and if I'm regurgitating old threads, then do forgive me. I recently acquired 1996 W202 C180 (auto, of course). I've already upgraded the wheels to 17" AMG'S with 245/45/17 tyres. My predicament lies in the fact that performance of the car feels what can only...

Right, as the orignal thread has degraded to a bickering match I'll start another one and whilst Guy is quite allowed to voice his opinion I'd appreciate if He'd keep it in that thread. The track has been lost and I appreciate the PM's from many members. I feel the need to expalin the situation...

A couple of weeks ago we had our bank manager in to see us to extend our facilities to get through all the nonsense that's currently going on. As a wholesale supplier of stone tiles and granite counter tops to the industry we've been heavily hit by the collapse of MFI and the slowdown in...
