I have about £4500 on my cc's spread over 4 cards with only £350 on a 0% intrest. Well I've being tring to get the rest of it on 0% for ages but I've been a bit reluctant to keep applying in case it damages my credit file even more. Well on Saturday I got a letter from Barclaycard saying my application was accepted with a limit of £2500 and 0% bt for 14 months
and today the postman brought a letter from Tescos with a PIN number for my new card- this was also 0% for 14 months. Just waiting to get my card to see what my limit is so I can transfer another.
Can't wait to get the others closed!!! I finally feel as though I can make a dent into my debt rather than firefight! **woop**

I know, it's disgusting isn't it
When I had my lbm I was paying more interest on one of my cards than the minimum payment!!! I didn't think that was even legal!! Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T
