        It's all the hipsters getting 4g enabled cars so no one can get a break from the 🌷 they drivel in twitter.

        Maybe a new 'package'

        Drivel while you drive.

          I got 999 out of 999!

          I need some debt - anyone need any by proxy?
          Experian's credit scores are useless. They dish out 999 scores like a canteen serves hot dinners.

          It probably means you won't get refused for credit, but it doesn't mean you will get a decent rate.

          Best way to work out your credit score - apply for a personalised loan quote for 10K from one of the providers that offer a soft check (make sure it's really a soft check). Then see how close it is to the advertised APR, which is the amount offered to 50% of applicants.

            You, too, could have all the cars you wanted, if you were part of UK PLC's economic success story.

            i.e. you had properties in SE England.

            You could have that mint fresh Aston

                Debt is wonderful!

                I am going to swap my 5 bedroom duplex in Madrid, with roof garden with swimming pool, access to an international airport in 25 mins, and 20 restaurants within 2 minutes that serve a 3 course lunch including wine for 10.50 euros to move to LONDON*

                *May have to take out a mortgage for an additional 700K after selling my pad here to get a basement flat in South Ken big enough to fit my bike in the hallway.

                Actually no. I can be in LCY in 2.10hrs from here. I will stay.
