  • No ! I wish I had, any good info ?
  • By the end of the month my overdraft will be at £750
    Will be out of arrears with gas
    Cant decide if I should pay off my whole credit card or pay half off incase i need the extra money in my account next month since I may be moving job. With the switch I might have less money coming in during the first month as any overtime wont get paid til the month after.
    Also paid £50 to my mum and £100 to the evil factors this week.
  • Might be worth keeping a little bit aside. If you don't spend it next month it can pay the card then xx

    I'd be inclined to pay as much as you can to the factors as they have threatened legal action.

    NOt really, it was just shocking! :eek: The tactics they were TRAINED to use etc etc. :mad:

    I would be inclined to agree that it might be worth keeping a little aside, just incase? Can always be paid off the following month (The credit card).

    Well done on the gas arrears :money:

    Hope you had a good weekend.
