paddy, why dont you !!!! off with your negativatey and sarcasm, ive come here for advice not to be picked on by idiots like you
Why don't you get a grip of your spending instead of insulting people.
Budget - Control - Save. Currently you're going down quicker than the Titanic.....0 -

yes i will be closing the 2nd account which will have a balance of 0, just so i dont use it again.
And im sick of people assuming the reason im in debt is because i overspend, i actually have personal reasons as to why i got this much OD which i have mentioend in other threads. I am paying it off as i do earn more than i spend.!!0 -
Dan im afraid you should not worry re savings,
you need to service the highest interest 1st, so what are all the APR's on all these loans?0 -

Yes, the savings are gone, im using them to clear of one of my 2k overdrafts which im paying £30 a month at halifax for !!
eschaton. Well i earn prob £2k after tax a month, then my bills(rent), cost of living etc.. is prob about £1500, so i can save £500 a month.
so i believe in 6 months i`ll be clear.!!0 -
paul got it spot on... when he said...
As I understand it:
(Halifax1) 2,000 OD limit, 1,900 used, 30/month
(Halifax2) 2,000 OD limit, 1,900 used, 30/month
(Halifax3) +1,500
(Barclays) 2,300 OD limit, 15/month
(Mum's loan) +500
Gross 'debt' (assuming OD fully used): 2,000+2,000+2,300 = 6,300
Net debt with Halifax including mum: 1,900 + 1,900 - 1,500 - 500 = 1,800
The theory (I think) being that the above list becomes:
(Halifax1) 2,500 OD limit, 1,800 used, 30/month
(Halifax2) 2,000 OD limit, 0 used
(Halifax3) 0
(Barclays) 2,300 OD limit, 15/month
(Mum's loan) -500
I hope I got that right. I'll edit if clarifications come out later.0 -

You need to calm down as you want the help. Whatever the reasons that you are over spent, the fact is that you are.
Whats your credit rating like?0 -
This time next month (providing i go ahead with plan i`ll be......
(end of month - the day before payday)
halifax account 1 - £2300- £2500 overdrawn, so lets say £2400
halifax account 2 - £2k OD available but balance 0, will close account
halifax savings - £0 as used to pay off OD in account 2
so debt of £2500 + £2300 (in barclays) so £4800, then my wages will go in and i start again !! - charges will be £45 a month as oppose to £75 this month0 -
unfortunately credit rating is not good based on.
1) in a new job (3 months)
2) in a new flat (renting for 18 months now)
3) never ever had a credit/store card0
