Scoobychick I expect most people are waiting for the show before commenting. But, I will say this, has anyone ever noticed how the honest ones go out of business and those prepared to bend the rules seem to go from strength to strength...

Jesus, what a bunch of sharks.

Pretty shocking that big companies are quite happy to totally **** people over, must be horrible having to work there if you have a concience but need the money and can't afford to quit on principle.

I found the bit about the 'Wayne and Waynetta slob' couple quite incredible. The fact that they managed to take out a £290 odd a month HP agreement which was entirely financed by DSS, when neither were working. WTF?!?

Typical sales tactics of any large business - nothing new

As for the cars - Same happens with plenty dealers and garages and their "200 point checks" etc. Perhaps Yes is alot worse than most, but it still happens at many other places.

This is just a typical example of what the British economy is built on, I'm not just talking car credit and loans here - it covers almost every comercial sector

Cool

I thought the BBC dressed it up a bit to make it look bad, but surely that guy pretending to be a senior underwriter and telling that woman that if she didn't buy the car she would get a bad credit rating is fraud?

Theye were a dodgy bunch though.

And as for those doorstep loans..........

Wish I'd thought of a similar business idea to fleece the stupid. I don't see what the problem is, YES car typify everything that's great about capitalism. Total exploitation and no morals. Fantastic.

Love the idea of going and hitting on dunces around Christmas so they can buy their tubes of pringles and pay for that oh-so vital sky upgrade.
