Verbatim wrote:Hi James,
How's the matched betting going? Are you gonna save it all up to pay off your cc or your loan or is it the beginnings of your deposit?
I think you've done amazingly well to get it down so much over the last year. You were so determined and did all that overtime last summer too. Has that all dried up now?
Anyway just dropped in to say hi and how's it going.Savings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.580 -

The Egg loan has probably been the easiest loan ive ever had in my entire life, i have a standing order to pay the monthly repayments and when i get paid what ever i have left out of my wages i leave a £100 for myself for the rest of the month and overpay my loan with what ever is left out of my wages
Generally my overpayments range from £100 up to £400 depending how much i have left out of my wages.
All i actually do is send them a cheque for the overpayment and the amount ive sent them comes off my loan perhaps 4 or 5 days later
I know some people on this board have had problems with them but ive never had any problems at all and would highly recomend them
and Verbatim you have putin just as much hard work as i have so you should be proud of what you have paid off as well:beer:
Thanks James I think I'm going to look into it

Glad the matched betting's going so well for you James. If you need another 1500 odd and you've done 771 already it should definitely be do-able!CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420

Goodstuff James.
I've had some good news too. I was worried that I'd used too much of the money I'd saved over the year for tax to pay off my cards and wouldn't have enough to pay my tax BUT it turns out I paid too much last year and THEY OWE ME!CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -
