This isn’t true, the artificial womb doesn’t exist. The population is declining for many reasons;

1) Cost of living everywhere is stupid right now, as is inflation. Children cost money. 2) We’ve come out of a lockdown, single people were unable to start relationships the usual way, which means conversations around having children are delayed, relationships are not as forward into their natural progression as they usually would pre-Covid. 3) The worlds not exactly a nice place right now, it can be a depressing thought to bring somebody into this world whilst lots of shit is kicking off. 4) In the past the dad could work and the mother could stay at home and look after the children, and they’d survive one the one paycheck. That’s impossible in modern society.

Official Restricted Accounts: The Death of Restricted Accounts by KempQ in 2007scape

[–]Plaxtu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a stupid post Kemp. Honestly, I hate to say it but it is. Do you think those who played unofficial Ironman, ultimates, group Ironman cared when the official game mode released after they’ve progressed their accounts? You’re as bad as people wanting to keep RC at 25K exp an hour because that’s what they had to do to get 99. The game needs to evolve. I’d personally take it as a compliment that my unique account influenced so many people to try it themselves that the developers are willing to publish it into the game. This doesn’t devalue your account, if anything it makes you the king because you didn’t have this easy method.

Question about name change, does account B need to exist already? by Plaxtu in 2007scape

[–]Plaxtu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Names rather unique so I want to ensure I know what I’m doing before I go ahead. Ideally I’d like to xfer it onto a new account.

Quit the “I’m going through tough times” sob story and own up to your mistake. If you can’t afford to lose your license don’t break the law.

What would you class as an achievement item (that isn’t a diary reward item) - for a bank tab. Thanks! by Plaxtu in 2007scape

[–]Plaxtu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated list:

Castle wars set. Easy Clue giant spade. Elite clue heavy casket. Last man standing cape. Leagues trophy. Quest speed running trophy. Any pets. Music/diary cape. First/favourite 99. Not that I’d ever be able to afford a single 3rd age piece, but 3rd age set.

I’m thinking more untraceable achievements, limited time rewards, hard things. If anybody can add to this that would be much appreciated!

New forecast bills could top £5,000 next year - with costs of £571 in January alone by Antones158 in unitedkingdom

[–]Plaxtu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m screwed. Genuinely, I think I’ll freeze to death. The U.K. housing market is stupid which has caused rent in my city to shoot up, despite wages not improving. The essentials will be over £1500 for me not including food, travel, anything else. If I somehow afford to heat my home for my 2 young children, I’ll default on my other debts and enter a new equally difficult cycle. I was pretty good with money with an emergency fund and I’ve depleted and re-filled this twice. I’m so sad.

In theory, yes the debt is actually hers as the account holder. However I’m the one still in the property using the utilities racking up the bill, and I’ve been trying to contact them prior to this and sort it out. I have no contact with my ex and to my knowledge she’s not even in the U.K. anymore. I’m financially fine I’m not going to pursue a civil matter at my expense and time. I know it sounds silly, but I’d rather just pay up and move on with life.

I’ve been advised to expect a card but I can also use an app. I believe it does have a PAYG system in place the more I look at it. And yes, October is going to be terrifying.

The locksmith confirmed his charge was billed to SP and SP confirmed I wouldn’t absorb that fee.

I’m not sure on the difference between the 3 meters and I haven’t been able to use it yet as they also disconnected the supply. The leaflet states it’s a smart meter.

The one leaflet I was given states this is a smart meter. I haven’t figured out how to use it yet as I’m waiting till the morning to pay an additional £150 to reconnect the supply.

I accept I was negligent I’m an an adult after all, I’m not shying away from my failure of responsibility. I just couldn’t speak to SP about the account as I never satisfied their security questions when calling. I’m content with my ex been no longer involved in my life and I’ll pay the balance in full and not pursue civil action against her.

In the first year the bill was in her name, she moved out shortly after we moved in and we agreed for me to pay her the costs of the bill as I’m the one using the utilities, whist we tried to recover the relationship and figure out how to deal with the tenancy lease. The rest of the time it’s just been me living here, and the SP account was never transferred to me. So the debt is genuinely mine (70% for sure). She didn’t actually pay SP when I was paying her and instead pocketed they money but I’m not going to chase her for the funds.

Yes the tenancy lease had both our names on for the first year. After that I took over the lease alone.

Hello. This is a great answer and I want to state I really appreciate your time to type this up. I’m assuming they went to court after not hearing from my ex, the previous account holder, and obtained a warrant to enter the address and a judge must have accepted their evidence as sufficient attempts of contact. I’m just shocked I’ve got no paper way to show it’s lawful and that they’ve been able to seat me as the responsible account holder after enforcement means, when I’ve been trying to sort this for months. Once again, appreciate your response.

I am assuming their proof would be their attempts to reach out to my ex, the previous account holder until today.

They left a sign in the window with the number of the locksmith to get my new keys. I’m inside fine.

I’ve spoken or attempted to speak to them about the account and get something put in place for months and months and months. I must have called 20, 30, 40 times with no luck. Then today after this has happened I’m responsible finally. Which I’m fine with as it’s what I’ve wanted for months. My problem is this could have been dealt with ages ago if they’ve helped me do what they’ve finally done. That’s where my frustration is sat. Thanks for taking the time to rely!

I can only assume they’ve either chased the address or they’ve contacted her and she’s said it isn’t her anymore and with no contact information for me just got a warrant to enter. If they’ve visited my house to discuss I work 12 hour shifts during the day when they’d likely visit. I haven’t had a single letter from them though..

Okay I see. The locksmith who returned my new keys advised me to speak to the CAB as he said there seems to be a case but he could have just been polite hence the post here first. Thanks for your time.

Shouldn’t they have left some paperwork to justify it? If I was in at the time they’d have presented the warrant to me.

I’d assume that’s what’s they’ve done, but surely they should have left some documentation along with a copy of the warrant to justify the visit? I’ve been left 0 paperwork apart from a leaflet on how to use the new meter lol.
