PS. Thought you would all like to know that since finding this forum I am now 'fighting' with my employer re: the way they are handling our redundancies and with potential employers who are asking for personal information which is discriminatory - lol. I'm on a roll

Good luck with the job applications - from someone who seems to be forever doing them!

Some of my posts have been removed too but hey ho I guess they just don't want people speaking the truth

sorry just laughed at this and had to use it in my post

right need to get back to the books. Totally shattered. One interview out of the way, have several job apps to complete and an exam end of week

No news from creditors so I'll treat that as a positive

I am feeling highly honoured , I have had a pm from the woman herself, telling me to ignore people I don't like. Stupid cow doesn't know me very well now does she. But some of my posts have gone boohoo

CAG certainly seems to have forgotten what Life can churn out in terms of experience.

MSE is about saving thus it's full of people who are proud of their frugality and the savings they can make which is good if that's what you're looking for but it can go too far, like someone posting they felt guilty for buying themselves a treat or something.

Misers Simplify Everything.

To my mind, if they don't do this, there is little point in them existing. Pretty much all they're really achieving is stopping the nasty letters - that's easy to advise on, don't open them and just pay what you can afford.

Yes, yes and thrice yes. I like the cut of your jib!

Re: MoneySavingExpert.com to join the MoneySupermarket.com group

Wow lots of nice recent posts and makes it very clear the difference between us and them. If you want to save a few pounds each week OTR is for you if you want a real stab at clearing you debts this is the place for you.

Debt is not a crime as they make you feel, indeed those over there are no doubt in debt and will be taking an eternity in clearing it, however that is there choice so good luck to them.

I like others here was a cagger and I must admit at first it was good because I went there not knowing of anything better and was getting good advice from a few members, however it turned sower through no fault of mine around the time paul was banned at that point was was looking for somewhere else.

When the DCA's and advertising started that was the last straw so sent a pm to gander highlighting my concerns that was met with a ban.

So I ended up at the other site that was born out of cag until getting the heads up about this site I have never been happier as this site really does have the best team of moderators and great members of all walks of life.

I cannot thank niddy enough with what he has done here his morals are all in the right place and has a fantastic grasp of debt. I have never known a forum where the owner puts in so much effort to help so many.

Re: MoneySavingExpert.com to join the MoneySupermarket.com group

It is a known fact on here that I have a near hatred of charities like CCCS. To me a debt charity helps people to get out of debt. They work on behalf of that person to save them every penny they can. One of the first things they SHOULD do, but rarely do, is ensure all interest and charges are frozen.

To my mind, if they don't do this, there is little point in them existing. Pretty much all they're really achieving is stopping the nasty letters - that's easy to advise on, don't open them and just pay what you can afford.

These charities are a disgrace, and I know it's not unusual at all for debt charities which offer a more personal service to pick up the pieces of a DMP gone bad from these places.

I take on board wholeheartedly what you say about MSE, and it makes a deal of sense. However, people who do not understand should not, in my opinion, try to help. It is a dangerous game and one best steered clear of if you don't know what you're doing.

BBoo
Questioning the likes of CCCS and Payplan was one of the reasons for my 1st ban on Cag. I have to say that NDL have been very helpful to me in a pre AAD life.
Actually I have no problem with people giving less than accurate "advice" if and only if, they are prepared to discuss it and prepared to admit when they are wrong , even if that is from a mere mortal and not some "god". Of course that advice MUST be given with good selfless intentions.

I hope you didn't misunderstand what I meant by 'helping people as best I can'...

FP what on earth could people think you were talking about?
