Mortgage Products
Yesterday, 28th March, I had a meeting with AIMS financial of Ashford to discuss opportunities in the financial services markets. We discussed the number of searches on the Internet for terms such as "Bad credit mortgage", "Spanish mortgage" and "Secured loans". I was astounded to hear that there are a total of 19,000 different mortgage products available in the UK.

Halifax credit card - Charges you extra
As a first recommendation, don't ever get a Halifax credit card. They've just ripped me off for £74.70, when I mistakenly underpaid my monthly bill by 10p. I have tried explaining via telephone, but the usurious company will only offer me a £30 refund. Not a bad return - £44.70 for 10p. I've since written to the Halifax to explain that they can say goodbye to my custom for good.
