If everyone stuck together and kicked say Eon into touch with in a month no one would be paying an extra £200 a month, but nobody will do,bollocks to them pay your extra £200 or freeze.
Exactly mate, but nearly everyone is far to comfy and don’t give a s hit, then moan like f uck when their bills are high.
ahh right....i have never had and never will have a contract, i just get a 'hand me down' phone usually from my son and go PAYG.
they wont, many years ago i used to spout off about how we do not actually own anything and how certain things were not lawful and got the old 'tin foil hat' jibes when i tried to warn people...suffice to say i gave up and now i have seen much of what i said come true. legal and lawful, first step is learn the difference and if more people took the time to read about it, learn how to tell the BS from fact (and i do agree there is a lot of BS) and start to follow the paths then they may well consider doing something about it but people are far too comfy and far too scared they might not have a brand new car while holding their brand new mobile phone while booking their next big holiday abroad.
On that last point, it is mind blowing to see how much some people live on borrowed cash. Mortgages, car loans, or leases, credit cards, holiday loans apparently now (!!), store cards, payday loans and all the rest. Bloody hell, I've had a mortgage but that's about it for me. When I had nee cash, we more or less waited until I did. I must have been doing something wrong! Mind, I can't see interest rates heading anywhere other than up for a bit now, so I'm pleased I'm not sweating on that.
Different times mate. We live in the "must have it now" generation - no more saving up for things, it's instant demand, instant gratification and worrying about it later. Holiday loans is a terrifying and ****ing ridiculous thought - if you don't have the money, don't ****ing go on holiday!
yup, same thing happened after the last time tories had a good few years in office back in the 80's...loads of new buyers encouraged to grab a 'cheap first time buyers' bargain by the tories, then they whacked interest rates right up and along with the bankers, raked in a fortune. feckin credit score??? when did that come about, in my time there was no way you could get a loan for anything especially if you went for a car or mortgage unless you could prove you had been in constant employment at the same firm for a good few years (which is why a nice car meant the lad had a good job and was reliable there were few company cars then)...do people never stop and think/wonder just why everyone is so happy to give you credit now? banks do not give money away for nowt!!
