    Hi All,

    Sorry for my neglect of this thread!

    I am now taking the vowel once again to have a SOS for the next 6 months.

    I have cancelled my credit report subscriptions as I think this will help me. Also I have too many active accounts so am taking steps to close these all down. I will also be cancelling my overdraft with Abbey/Santander and closing the account.

    Any more suggestions?

    You're taking the vowel? Which one? A? I? Maybe U?

    :D

    Since signing up to credit expert, I've found that has helped me stay away from the apply button. Watching the searches slowly drop off seems to motivate me. I only have 8 but that is more than enough.

    I originally wanted 5 credit cards and now that I've got that, my focus now is to pay them off. :j

    I do agree with you however if I stop observing my report and re-order it again in 6 months then will have a pleasant surprise!
