I made the mistake of entering a prize draw for Tesco vouchers (don’t ask why – i was bored, it popped up). Now I’m absolutly plagued by sodding pop-ups from EVERYWHERE. I can’t be online for more than a few minutes without them appearing – prize draws, loan companies, computer games, dating sites… loads of them. I’m getting seriously hacked off with it. I’ve set my pop-up blocker to high but its made zero difference.
In addition to my frustrations… when i open windows explorer, instead of my homepage coming up (its set to google), I get an advert page – either for a car or online games or something, and whenever I try going to a site that doesn’t end in ‘.com’ (eg.www.ieem.net), something called desktopsmiley now comes up and says the website can’t be found – I now have to google ieem.net and click on the link to visit that webpage, and not because I’ve spelt the name or web address wrong!!!

I have no idea what to do, how to hide my details and block the ****ing adverts and desktop smiley (which, by the way, I haven’t actually had installed on my laptop of anything…). Has anybody got any ideas i can try??? Its driving me insane!!!

I am attending UCSB in a month and it is going to cost me 7-8k per quarter. What loans would be best for me? Obviously direct subsidized loans would be the best, but is it better to get government loans or loans from the bank or where? Is there a website that compares different loan companies?

Hi my best friend needs some advice urgently and finding it on the internet is proving difficult so please could you great people here assist?

Problem
Unsecured loan (Tesco finance UK) then due to ill health loan payments lapse a CCJ is issued and loan payments agreed and are kept up to date with no lapses.

Incoming income alters so loan company asked to reduce payments NOW loan company want to change loan via court to ‘secured’ against their home!

I read somewhere last year this was now possible but is there any way to fight it?

It is sharp practice and really now unsecured loans don’t really exist IF you have a property and any problems?

Thank you for your help!
Any web links to legal situation /advice much appreciated
fantastic answers so far thank you all!

BUT I did read somewhere last year that loan companies can indeed apply for a unsecured to be secured against the property a new loop hole for more sharp practice but I can seem to find the details on the web? Any ideas?
