I signed up to a 2 yr membership to a womens only gym, and 6 months later they went into liquidation, i cancelled my direct debit as obviously they were not providing the service I had applied for. Now they have sent me a debt collection letter with a highlighted section saying they have defaulted my credit record. I wrote them a letter advised by consumer direct, which they haven't replied to in writing, but i had them on the phone this morning with quite an aggresive tone, asking me what I was going to do, I told them I wanted to hear in writing, which they got more aggresive with. The 3 co's the gym, credit agency and debt collection all run under the same co, but i have contacted office of fair trading who said they are registered. Not sure what to do now....new to all this type of thing, any suggestions??? I hope this makes sense!!

My grandmother left her house to my brother and myself.We would like to redevelop it and maybe rent it out for a couple of years.We think that it's going to cost around £40,000 so need to release the money from the property.The property is worth around £118,000.
The problem is that that I'm not working at the moment and am not planning to as I will be doing most of the work on the house and will be my full time job.
My brother is working but doesn't earn a great deal.
We're planning to repay the loan using the income from the rent that we get for it each month.
Can we still get a loan or will I have to get a job?
If I'm working then it'll mean that the house will take so much longer to finish and we'll be losing out on several months worth of rent.

I work F/T ( Monday to Friday) in Social Care. I need extra money and would like to find employment for a couple of evenings a week. Iv recently been searching for a new property & noticed that most Estate Agents don't work in the evenings so getting a late viewing is practically impossible. This means that theres a gap in the market. Iv worked in Sales before & seemed to have a flair for it. I would really like to try my hand at selling property - even on a commision only basis to start.I'm Currently living in Muswell Hill ( North London) but will be moving to Potters Bar ( Hertfordshire) in a few weeks. I work In East Finchley & Bounds Green ( both North London)Can anyone advice me on where to go from here??

My boss is a nasty, rude, insulting and patronising horrorshow who makes everybody's life hell, and has upset way too many in my company, including me!

It's payback time. I would be interested in getting some top tips on creating psychological hell.

Terrible, ain't it? What the hell.
