Why this Blog ?

Less than a month ago, I was forced by circumstances to declare myself personally bankrupt. In addition to this, I find myself unemployed at 49 and whilst I have applied myself to the everyday tasks of keeping the wolves from the door on such a limited income, I am left feeling like a salmon swimming against the flow of the river when it comes to dealing with the large institutions we all have to deal with. We must pay our bills, yet quite often in our everyday attempts to do so, we fall foul of the "fuckwit factor".

Whilst I am not proposing to establish this as an advisory service for fellow bankrupts, if I can offer advice from my own experiences I will do so happily. I am also happy to hear from those who find themselves shortchanged by these so called professionals who spend so much time and advertising money boasting just how fucking great they are...

As part of my despair, I have ensured the CEO's of the organisations I have locked horns with in recent times are made aware both of how I feel, but also of the fact their inadequacies are reported online in the hopes of spreading the word of just how poor their organisations are at dealing with their customers.

I am not out to topple any organisation, I am simply wanting to alert those who stumble across this soapbox, to the shortcomings and dirty tricks employed by companies who's public image runs from squeaky clean to smug bastards in the general order of things.

This journal is published from the UK and because it is written from personal experience will almost certainly be about UK companies and all I am saying in these writings is "watch out" if you find yourself dealing with them.

Here endeth the first posting.
