it's hard to pick
but the stupidest thing we did while drunk was think that it would be hilarious to push a gigantic wheelie bin from the uni through the park and next to a river. We then made it a little fishing rod. This made perfect sense in our heads.

We once held a birthday party for a red telephone box.
Put streamers on it and everything then nearly got busted by a policeman for something or other. I think I was about 14 at the time.

Thread jack
I sent this to orange the other day

I'm writing to you about a contract made in my name NAME
started on 16/10/2009, it was registered to my parents address. ADDRESS. I apologise I do
not have any more information about the contract. I have found this
through a credit report.

I do not have any recollection of making or signing this contract, and
I never recieved either a phone or a sim card for the contract, I
explained this repeatedly to the people who called and sent me
letters, and then to your legal representatives who sent me
threatening letters. During that time I had an Orange pay as you go
phone. In the end because the sum was so low I decided to pay it off
rather than have to fight my corner, and went to a competitor as soon
as possible.

However this is now effecting my ability to get credit as it shows
that I didn't pay you for a service which in my mind I have never
recieved or asked for. Please look into this find out if this contract
was ever activated or if I ever actually asked for it. Please justify
your charges and the extra charges you added to my bill and if this
cannot be justified within your policy please contact the credit
reference agencys you use and clear the dispute from their records and
refund me the money (approximatly £65 I recall) which I paid you.

Dear

Thank you for your email regarding your credit file.

I am sorry that you are querying a credit file entry by Orange. I can appreciate your concerns.

All credit file enquiries are dealt with by a specialist department by letter or fax. Please forward a copy of the file with a covering letter to the address below:

FAO Orange Credit Referral Department

Alternatively you can attach the credit file and send in by email to [email protected]

I am sorry that I am unable to help you on this occasion. However, I trust this information is of assistance.

Kind regards

yes and that will only answer one part of my email
they ignored the fact I've got a contract I never made and I've had to pay for a phone or sim I never got. They've ignored my request for a refund.

I seem to be lucky with Orange, I know of many others who have had a shit time with them.

It answers it by telling you
to make a copy of your credit file and sending it to the address below with a covering letter.

Pretty simple.

I don't have a copy of my credit file I have my log in to experian,

It still as I said above ignores most of the questions in my email.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 9:48, Reply)

Then ask for a paper copy of your credit file from
Experian. If you paid for your report they'll send you one for free.

If it didn't answer any of your questions, call and get their customer services address and write by paper mail. It's not as if posting their replies here is going to make the answers magically fucking appear is it?
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 9:52, Reply)

(PsychoChomp, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 10:04, Reply)

start by asking to add a note of explanation to your credit report
any prospective credit card/other loan company will then see that it is a disputed claim and that it is very low value. this should help in the short term whilst you argue with orange to get it removed.

YOU have principles?
this really is worthy of its own thread.

but you should sort it out now. something that stupid can stop you getting a mortgage, even if it's in a few years time. ironically orange itself has advice on its website about how to get a good credit rating. start by quoting that at them, i would have a lot of fun writing to them if i were you.

In discussion last night, it turns out I've slept with every single one of my exes
And regretted it nearly every time. That's pretty stupid. Another was falling in love with a friend while I had a girlfriend.#

There was also a girl I was rather fond of, we slept together a few times, then it stopped. I know now that I was the one chasing her in the end, but it was good fun while it lasted, my mistake was letting her get the better of me.

Broke into St Marys Way car park in Sunderland
while it was being built. We accomplished this by running across the pedestrian bridge over the road on its roof, about 40ft up in the wet, whilst pissed. Not really the best idea in hindsight, especially when the security guard spotted us and we had to leg it back across and I slipped and nearly fell off. Or when my mate who was with me smacked his head on the scaffolding and ended up being nicked for the night.
