    When i asked my bank for help following a near fatal RTA they're "Help" was to offer me even more money to pay off what I owed them already! Even though they knew I would be unemployed indefinitely?? The mind absolutely boggles at the ludicrous way in which they help their "customers" to get even further into debt.
    After that offer of "Help", I withdrew what money I did have in their closed my savings account and dropped off the radar. Right now they have absolutely no idea where I am, or even what country I am in, and I sleep very well at night, dare i say it I even laugh at the ineptitude of these so called debt collection agencies, sending letters here there and everywhere, I am not in the slightest bit worried by the 40,000 I owe the bank, and even if they do eventually track me down, that is just when the fun will start, three years into the 6 year statute barred law, three years of being debt free!

    To Mark from scunthorpe.
    No, I am not having a go about spelling errors (many of which are often simple typos). However, I am having a go at the rude, ranting way many people express themselves. I think many people don't read what they write before they post, and don't realise that they are not making sense.

    Its got so out of hand now I've given up worrying about it now, I pay priority bills then share out what's left, they don't like it but I can't do anything else, they can always take me to court, and they have, but they still only get their £3-50 per month.
