When is network management not network management?

The daft thing is, I still get junk mail for credit cards that I don't want.

I do and from ones I ditched that I can't get back within a year if I wanted to I even have that junk mail thingy (no idea what its called) so I am not meant to get so much rain forest though my letterbox

Indeed - I remember all the offers for interest free inter card transfers - they soon dried up when the credit card companies realised that peolpe were just opening cards to keep transferring when the interest free period ran out.

Yep - me too In. Just shows how easy it is to get into massive debt.

It does, some of mine have pre- agreed limit stated, yet I have never had any business with them.

Morgan Stanley give me a 1% rebate, I just hope that lasts.

At one point I had eleven cards it was so easy to get them I kept applying to see how many I could get it was like top trumps, now I have three and that's that, saying that I will be dumped by them soon for not using them at this rate

I used to have a few - for much the same reason, but I'm now down to just one, and it's very very rare that I use that.

I only use them for online purchases for safety reasons these days then pay them straight off, I keep The Amex platinum as it has some great benefits for insurance etc when travelling for Justina as she is away so often, and a low rate if we have an emergency, the other two are empty, hence I bet I get terminated

Same here, we've reduced to two, one in each name, so that a death doesn't produce problems.

I've been an executor a couple of times, and I learnt quickly how much easier you can make life for the surviving partner with a little planning. I've even applied it to IDNet, if you check the FAQs.

Yeah I know what you mean - I've been the executor of 2 wills, and a little forward planning can make a world of difference.

[Rik]

It's something people don't like to think about, but it is going to happen, so we might just as well deal with it. Leaving funeral instructions helps too.
