A little bit of sunshine in amongst the dark clouds of debt!!!

Just to prove there is always a little thing to smile about in amongst this awful debt situation- I started to ring some companies today to change over DD's into a new bank account and I had a couple of lovely surprises!!
I asked BT if there was anyway of lowering our charges- we seem to pay an awful lot for our monthly DD- they agreed- and instead of paying £29.50 per month we are now on a monthly DD of £15!!
The same thing happend when I rang Anglia Water- when I asked the nice man to change my bank account details he said 'The computer wants to lower your charges to £34 per month instead of £44' !!!!!!!
Whoop de doo thats a saving of nearly £30 per month!!!
Worth a phone or 2 Id say if anybody wants to try it!!
