    thanks ted, its a load off my mind at least now we have a chance to get it all paid off, which was never going to happen with interest being slapped on. Couldn't believe that Crap One just sent a lovely wee letter after all the snash on the phone, it just goes to prove that the right hand has absolutely no idea what the left is doing.....................

    Glad some are getting rid of the interest. Just wish GE money would do the same for me.

    Started my DMP in December to January 2010.
    Virgin/MBNA were lovely. Nationwide a pain, Egg is ok-ish and GE Money mean and greedy.

    Just wish I could persuade OH to stop struggling and get a DMP himself.

    Wowsers PDD thats fab news :j:j DH has been trying to do the same with Natwest this week, he got stuck on hold and was then told he would have to ring back next week cos they dont do weekends! Hopefully though we'll be able to pay off more with the extra cash coming in.

    Ooh ice cream :D

    We've started to get a few more letters now, not agreeing to anything yet but all with a fairly sympathetic tone, hopefully it's a sign of things to come! And no phone calls yet.
  • Wow, thats fab PDD. Only a few weeks away from my start, unfortunately BoS despite all their loveliness on the phone have charged me at 29% this month, just £159, arrrggghhhh. Have a lovely weekend all, fab weather here on the south coast.
