Good News for a change

Isnt it funny how things happen????

I have just found a visa card statement from January and it said I had a credit of £1000 on the account. I checked the on line account that said the same, so rang the credit card company.

They agreed the account was in credit so have transferred the money back to my cheque accuont.

And there's me thinking I never win anything! Feel like I have won the lottery - debts reduced by £1k just by throwing old paperwork away and reading a statement I didnt know was there.

What a great way to finish a friday! :j

I wish the same luck to everyone on here!

  • Apparently I havent been receiving statements as I have 2 accounts with them, this one was stopped being used ages ago and as it was 'inactive' statements weren't sent through - apart from this one earlier this year.

    My on line login ins were also on different accounts, and the login name was slightly different so I only ever logged into my 'live' account. This account didnt bring up the account in credit.

    Spooky. I always thought I was quite on top of my credit cards, shows how you can be wrong.

    Bit of good luck is always welcomed - but I'm going to put it into my debt reduction plan so I'm not tempted. :D
