lloydstsb are really bugging me

Citizens advice have written to them telling them of my injuries and requesting they freeze interest etc. They have seen the consultants letter. Yet the still have an automated system phoning me up to 8 times a day, mobile and land line, leaving the same message. I guess it might be that it's just not been unprogrammed from the robots, I'll email them now...

petty revenge, I love it!

After being so humane and understanding to me during this difficult time, I felt it was time to give Lloydstsb a little thank you

Meh

Work are still refusing to discuss anything but have acknowledged the consutants letter.

Llloydstsb. I have a loan with Lloydstsb which was due to start repayments in Jan. I called them from hospital before the first payment explaining I'd been hit by a couple of cars and broken my left. They said they couldn't do anything til I was in arrears, so I cancelled the direct debit.

A month goes by. I should be in arrears now so I called lloydstsb. Turns out their debt collectors can take any money from any account you have with them, just like that. Oh, and they charged me £25 for the priviledge. I called again and after trying to work out a budget with the aggressive woman on the phone for a few minutes, gave up, saying I would sort a spreadsheet and get back to them.

So they take the money again. I call with an accurate budget. They can't reduce my payments because I'm loosing money each month. i.e. I have less money then I need. The guy on the phone said basically that unitl my account was bled dry this would continue...

Great! On the case now thanks to citizens advice but they confirmed that banks etc are almost inhuman in their behaviour. Once everythings sorted I'll tell you the plan...

Things

Saw the surgeon yesterday. My arm is not broken anymore! Got crutches this morning, one of which is a gutter crutch, dirty... So should be much more versatile in my mobility, hurrah!

I've really cut down my pain killers to minimum now. Tried stopping the morphine altogether though and it went a bit trainspotting... hot and cold flushes, squirting both ends, cold sweats, back on minimal morphine again. I'll leave it til after the op on the 27th I think but it's not going to be good.

After the 200mg/day I.V. for a week in hospital I now realise I was going through withdrawal despite still being on 120mg/day as slow release caps. Involuntary limb kicking anyone?

Also got the letter for work today, 60-80% odds my leg will be saved, good odds but scary in black and white... Will post letter here soon...

Celebrating the 3 month anniversary of surviving being run over with some lovely, calciyummy, red wine.

Going to post about the excellent advice of citizens advice soon. They were awesome today. I need to lead with a title highlighting how considerate debtors, in particular lloydstsb, are in this sort of situation...
