The Virgin deal was 0% for 9 months, but a 5% transfer fee so in no way worth it at all!
Lovely of her to try though and I'm not too disappointed, it would only of cleared Lloyds a month early, I will just have to find some more pennies another way!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

How lovely your friend sounds!
Funny, before I would have just gone for the 0% deal and not thought about the transfer fee, well done for working that out beforehand.LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

Hi woowoo - sorry not been around much - frantically busy and should be working now but v distracted with some personal issues at home. Taking a 5 mins time out to see what everyone's up to!
shame about the 0% - I had a good deal with Virgin 16 months agin, but I guess they are getting savvy to all us MSE-ers now and they ahve to get their pennies somehow! Glad you checked it though - as was stated above, six months ago I would never have looked at how the transfer fee would affect things.
I do admire your positive energy and determination - keep it up - I am struggling a bit today so need to read other people's successes!0
