Title: CU doesn't ask too many questions

Imagine not knowing that one of your members is on the dole, but runs a hundred thousand euro through their account?

They're subject to the same reporting requirements as banks these days. Their loan application process is a lot more professional than it used to be too. The days of some old biddy ticking boxes with her knitting needles are gone!

I found them anything but professional in my dealings when trying to finance the new car. Harking back to a missed payment fourteen years ago!

They hold grudges for as long as they hold your records. The CCR is only allowed to go back 5 years.

I wonder do their staff still win cars as prizes in the CU car draw, as happened in the Artane Credit Union?

I noticed the Minister mentioned that Microfinance crowd when refusing to extend vehicle age limits for those of us who got no extension on account of COVID '19 anall... Telling men to get themselves into debt because they followed Govt advice and done the right thing. Cunt.

It's like trying on a new pair of shoes, you only realise how terrible the old ones are when you try on the new ones, thus asking the shop assistant for a bin! 8)

I bought a new car once. The new wears off very quick for me. It'll be a crime to scrap my car next year if that's what I end up doing. It's in showroom condition.. all the NCTS could find wrong was 2 tyres more than six years old and that's only an advisory notice.

I suspect there are four flat spots on your tyres from being parked up! 8)

Poor car has barely gone cold over the last couple of months. I done two 35 hour weeks in November alone. Gonna wind down for Christmas now and get back to it in the New year. I renewed the licence on the first possible date last month almost in the hope that some cunt writes it off for me to make scrapping it justifiable!
