Mel, well done!! What a fab feeling that must be!
There are some excellent figures being bandied about - great going guys :T
My debt has reduced by £432 today.....taking me to just over £12k of my £20k target - I am happy with that!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
I just did a crafty manoeuvre. I got a letter from halifax yesterday (old credit card) saying I'd missed a minimum payment. WHAT? NIghtmare. I looked and there was something for £23, realised it was the annoying card protection thing that I don't really want anyway, that had renewed itself. Had completely forgotten - they must have sent me a reminder but as I never use the card I prob didn't read it. Anyway. I rang them, they removed the charge as they could see it was an unusual case, I paid the balance. THen I thought - damn, I need a new credit card for a BT and this is going to affect my credit sccore. So quickly checked experian, and ther was no update yet. So I struck while the iron was hot and applied for a FD Gold card (from Martin's best buys) and as I'm their customer already I didn't even need to fill in a form! It's a month before I need it but at least I've got it now before Experian has to put the missed payment on my account (am going to contact them and ask them to put a clarification on it). So now I've sorted the Post Office BT which was supposed to happen early August. Hurrah!0
