Today I've taken the files of statement and everything I had relating to that account and shoved it up the loft so it really does feel as if it's gone as I won't have to look at the statements that have come in and made me cry at times.
Why not just shred it? I do this with old finance stuff, and then either use it to line my hens' nestbox or for my daughter's ferret bedding (THAT would certainly put off any prospective dentity thieves :eek: ) - and then compost it (or you could bin it or whatever) afterwards, and you will never, ever have to look at it again, no chance of running into it again if you are decluttering in the loft - it might even give you a laugh to think about it! I am sure you can think of a suitable fitting end if you or your friends have neither hens nor ferrets (cat litter tray, rabbit hutch, rats??) Well done in getting rid of this debt. x0 -

Would love to shred it, but I do not trust banks enough to destroy the evidence that it's settled!!! You just never know when they will appear out of the woodwork with some nonsense.Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -
