in Credit cards
Just needed somewhere to shout about the fact that I just got approved for a Barclaycard Simplicity 6.8% Life of Balance card - don't know the limit or anything yet but SO relieved. I've got a MBNA with loads of debt on it at an outrageous rate so this is really really gonna help me start paying it off - even if the limit is only for a fraction of the balance - step in the right direction. Wooohoooooo!!!!!

Don't forget to close the MBNA once you transfer the balance to the Barclaycard to stop it mounting again

will do, and don't worry even if I can't transfer the whole balance off my MBNA I'll be calling them up and telling them to drop the available credit. The card is already hidden away in the house - haven't spent anything on it in over 5 months. Yay!0

Thanks! I've done loads to cut back on my spending but felt like with all this high rate debt I was getting nowhere. Makes all the scrimping and saving worthwhile. I am going to reward myself with a bottle of wine this weekend- on special offer obviously!0
