    Why?

    Do you have shares in those or family members working for them?
  • Both. Barclays is where all dads money is and if everything goes tits up we are going to need that money.

    He can't be getting much interest on it. Might be a good time to suggest he lend you some at an agreed rate to repay the debt in yopur sig.

    My kids do something similar - they just seem to omit the repay bit :(

    6% fixed for a year which he is happy enough with. As for the debt only Barclaycard is charging so its not too bad. If I wanted it I'd ask, will only be asking when I need help if our own money stops or runs out.
