in thinking my life is too bloody dramatic and that i must have really pissed Karma off in past life?

26 replies

mamazon · 11/05/2007 23:45

basicly in this last month or so i have had non stop drama in my life and i dont like it.

I have had Ds getting assaulted and suffering concussion, courts agreeing contact even though xp is a totall tosspot and violant, young boy in Ds class died suddenly, next door has squirrels in her loft and she is blaming me, my washing machine is a pile of pooh and evn thoughits less than 6 months old it decides it wont work just when i need it most, i only ever lose 1lb a week even though i am sticking to my diet.....and to top it all off

I had my bag snatched today, in broad daylight in a fairly busy part of town.

My arm is now covered in bruises where (stupidly) i tried to hang on to the bag.
I have had to spend all day trying to get my bank to stop my cards, had to report it all to the police and i now have no money for over the weekend as the actual branch was closed by the time i realised i had to actually go in to withdraw some funds as i had no card, and the bank isn't open on a saturday (bloody HSBC)

Thaknfully the car keys were on the hood of the buggy but the door keys were in my nag so i had to get my brother to break ito my house so that is going to cost me lord knows how much t get the window fixed again.
My mobile was in my bag so thats had to be cut off, my passport and driving licence were also in it....and they cost a fortune.

I just think that its about bloody time i get some good news for a change. I dont know who it is i have pissed off but i think i have paid for it now.

apparantly they used to live in the tree in my front garden. when i moved in i asled teh housing association to cut it back as it was blocking the light to my front room.

she says that i tore their home away so they had to look for somewhere else to live and they chose her loft.

she now thinks i should pay half of her costs to get the pest control people in.

I actualy didnt post this at first as i was worried people would think i was a troll and that no one has such a crap life lol.

mamazon, if your bag contained a credit or debit card plus proof of address and/or id this can be used to obtain credit in your name - eg impersonation fraud. Some shops have 'instant' credit either in the form of a loan for electrical goods or a credit card. Should this happen you won't be liable but it does take a while to sort out and may impact your credit rating until it is resolved. If you think its nessecary you can set up a password with the credit reference agency so everytime credit is applied for it will be referred and the lender will need to speak with you and verify the password to esnure the credit application is genuine. It costs about 15.oo per year I think.

mamazon · 12/05/2007 12:46

Oh god i hadn't even thought of that. i just assumed it was some low life who wanted the money.

I have informed teh passport office to say that it is stolen so doesn't that cancel it?
shitty shit shit. how do i do the password thing? my credit rating is pants enough without it being made worse!

OP posts:

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 12:46

You will need to contact Experien and Equifax to set this up.

mamazon · 12/05/2007 12:47

xpost.

thanks. is experian the ones where you can pay and lok at yor credit rating?
if so i think i have their number somenwehre

OP posts:

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 12:53

No. Neither the retailer or the lender will check if the passport is a stolen one. I stress, you will not be liable for any fraud and they will rectify your credit rating but it IS a royal pain in the meantime.

I'm not sure how quickly they can set it up for you but both sites have websites so you can check those out.

Give me a second and I'll try to sort a link out.

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 13:04

Good news... looks like you can do it on line and its effective straightaway here...

equifax

Equifax is the most widely used agency at the moment and if you sign up for one it will be effective regardless of which agency is used by the lender.

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 13:07

Ahhh , no - ognore the below its not what i thought it was - i've read more and its really expensice and pretty rubbish actually - 48 hrs is way to late to do anything about it. There is a much more effective scheme run by CIFAS the fraud detection agency - will search more bear with me

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 13:15

This is what I was referring too. I am an underwriter for a large bank and this is what we will be looking for. We would never give instant credit if a customer had a protective registration unless we were sure it was genuine.

CIFAS Protective Registration

Raggydoll · 12/05/2007 13:22

try again
