You sound weird... almost.... happy?
Are you running from Natwest into a newer better finance system or are you going underground?

To do the former I first have to do the latter.
To sort out an insolvency agreement you have to set up a new bank account and get your salary paid into it, and all the essential DDs (utilities, child maintenance, mortgage etc.) switched over, then you abandon the account and all of the payments you're having trouble with (loans, credit cards etc.), it's like scuttling a ship. The whole thing is extremely dishonourable and I have to keep reminding myself that these are financial institutions, not people as such, to stop me from feeling so bad. If I could convince myself that I am just a victim of the system and the EVIL BANKERS and NICK CLEGG, as opposed to merely a financial cretin, I'd be even happier but this isn't likely, sadly.

Well as long as you're learning from this old chap
if you're in the same position again in a year then we may have to get you put away for your own good

The 'good' thing is that with an IVA in place
no one will give me credit for five years whether I like it or not, anyway.

But then you'll be all debt free and maybe even be able to save a few pennies
I'll treat you to a Tayyabs at some point :p
