Hey Woowoo just started reading your thread, and thought I would say hi . I'm curious about you paying pennies into the Barclays - how did you do this as I would like to pay off mine in this way (among others) but the banks I have been to (Santander and Halifax to name two) have told me I have to bag them up so I have been saving all the change I find up. Thanks

Hi, thanks for reading.

If it's just been the odd 42p for example I literally just pay in over the counter into my account then use Internet banking to make the payment.

Even if I only had 98p in 1ps I would stick them in a bag and pay them in, they can't stop you it's all money no matter in what form!

Plus it's fun to annoy the banks whenever possible

Cool. Is this a Barclays bank account or any of them? I had trouble with the banks I named and just gave up but it's annoying when they are making money out of me still on interest and I have money (pennies I know but still money) that can go in there.

I bank with Natwest and they have never given me any hassle. Don't take any nonsense from them, you have every right to pay money into your account, even if it is only pennies.

Don't forget pennies make pounds after all

Definitely. I'll push them again. I'd rather it be in the bank than on me or stuck in a drawer somewhere with all the interest they are getting from me!! It's worth a go

With Lloyds I have to bag it but can put any amount in the bag, so long as the coins are sorted - and I'm the annoying person who stands and does that at the counter

I like this Bec's, you can tell it really frustrates them

With evil Lloyds you have to what you can

Woowoo

Lloyds are evil, I still hold them at least 25% responsible for my predicament!

Admittedly they didn't force me to spend the money, but did they have to make it so damm easy for me to spend £10,200 on nothing lol!

Woowoo

OMG just snowballed my debts based on minimum payments only, DFD would be March 2019, I would be 39!

There's some inspiration to keep making the small PAD's!

Oh I did that the other week at Santander :P. I got the worst looks with people looking down their noses at me. I don't care though it's all money.
