The Consumer Action Group...

Ok, I’ve not updated for a while as I’ve been up to my eyeballs in stress with trying to find somewhere to live that isn’t going to make me bankrupt, at the moment I'm waiting to hear about a little 1 bed flat so I will keep you updated...

But in the meantime I'm going to talk about a site called the Consumer Action Group, which is totally amazing, Since joining the site I have started to claim back approx £1700 in unfair Bank charges, see here, Shoe Junkie V's Natwest, money that I never in a million years thought I'd see again. They have so much info on credit laws and everyone is so helpful, I also posted about a problem me and my ex flatmate are having with Wescot, see here, 'Very Difficult' . I've also picked up some advice on how to deal with my Landlady when she tries to swindle me out of my deposit, which I'm sure she will.

Most importantly though, I urge anyone thinking of reclaiming their unfair bank charges to look at this site, starting with the FAQ's, the link is on the right hand side of this page, good luck and stick with it!

Anyway thats about all I've got time for, have a good weekend everyone!x

Worst News Ever...

Yesterday after running about like a headless chicken trying to get my rent ready for lunchtime, after paying the landlady she handed my boyfriend a letter giving us 2 and a half months eviction notice!! I cried as soon as he told me, I have to move out of my dream flat by 2 weeks after Christmas. You may wonder what this has to do with debt, as the reason I'm being evicted has nothing to do with not paying my rent as this is the ONLY thing i've always paid ontime as I love my flat too much to jeopardise that. After everything I've done to try and sort myself out I just think why does this have to happen now?? I'm going to have to call all of my creditors again to give them my new address, I've just had gas and electricity pre-payemnt meters fitted that will have to be removed and all the money its going to cost me to move out and find somewhere else is really going to mess things up, and all this over Christmas?? I just wanted to curl up and cry! I can't handle this right now!
