Does anyone know their name or number at all thanks  'Pay weekly' = paying way, way,way over the odds because you can't afford to pay outright.  It's much better to save up and make do than paying someone way over the odds because you don't have the cash to pay outright.  (BTW before anyone chirps up - I understand the attraction of paying weekly and understand why companies offer this service but I still think it's much better to save up and pay for something outright than spending much, much more for the 'convenience' of getting something immediately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
