Re: UK Debt - Leaving it behind - Curiosity Question ?? :-)
Has anyone seen the latest Carol Voderman loan advert - she's happy smiling and offering to halve your debt by taking out a secure loan (not secured so thickos don't realise they will lose the house). At the bottom is the example - borrow £20,000 blah blah blah apr blah blah blah - total to repay £50,000+ - WHF :scared: - Pay another £30,000 on top of the £20k - who on earth are these people who think that is a good deal - ads like that should be banned and whilst I am having a rant, why do they need to put them on Nickelodeon for crying out loud - does the five year old go to mummy and say we must take out a loan and she says ok - evil evil evil. Rant over.
To the op - if you don't think you will have repaid by the time you want to go, tell the lenders and arrange to pay smaller amount each month after you have left.

Personally I think celebrities should make a stand and not stoop so low as these ads, the Phil Tuffnell one gets me!

Edit: just signed that petition. Not convinced it will make a difference but might as well try.
