Hoax phone calls and Bank Problems

Sorry to hear that buddy.
I recently applied for some finance and got declined but they then passed my details onto all sorts who have been harrasing me since, mostly to sell me life insurance or some such.

My favourite fob off was when I got a call while airsofting and we were using the phones as radios.

Me: Update?
Joker: Hello sir this is x from x, is this a good time to talk.
*The last said in genuine question as a burst of gun fire goes off in the backgroud*

: *lays a round of return fire through the window* -
Who is this, how did you get this number.

: This is x from x, I'd like to speak to Mr Y about z

: DAMMIT GRENADE! MOVE MOVE MOVE!
*Grenade bounces through the window and goes off just as I get out*
Who is this! where's my backup! we've got a man down! man down! I need BACKUP NOW!!

: *hangs up*

So much for going with a company that had a strict Ethical code, it would appear that this code was the first thing to go out of the window with the take over.

I am not a happy consumer.

Do some card companies still give you a year at 0% on a balance transfer?

Could be worth a look so you can pay it off in the year without accrueing interest.

i could be wrong but MBNA also have ties with virgin credit cards and allience and liecster,

when some customers are ringing up to find out why the rate has gone up to like 29% they are passin customers to x comapny ( where i am) to look at loan to pay it off,

stupid comapny, last one was, hello, ive renclty been made unemployed have no income, mbna said you can help reduce my payments through a loan

yep most definitly, lots of loan comapies out there willing to lend when you have no income to speak of, mbna
