    I'd pay of no 2 for the satisfaction that you're closing down one of the cards. Three's better than four!
    January budget
    Nothing left!
  • OK, I'm going to do it .... I know I will feel great for doing it and cutting it up. I have never ever cut up a credit card before - I think that is part of the problem, ha ha ha.

    Yeah go for it, the psychologicak boost is 100% better than anything snowball could say! When I looked at snowball it made me feel quite desperate & have never dared again - was just too depressing!!

  • I know!!! I am going to have to work out now how I close the account and get my money back, as I have never closed a credit card before!!! I am going to update my signature as well as I have now managed to get under ten thousand owed as well, which is a big achievement!!!! I am feeling really good right now (apart from being hungry as tea is cooking and I am fading away)

    Well Done, not only have you paid one off, but from next month, you can snowball the amount you would have paid to that card, off the other one as well as the extra £50, (whenever that arrives).

    AND Under £10K, You must be feeling great.:j :j :j
    Debt at worst: £33000
    Debt now: £0, (Ok, a £650 overdraft)
    £3000 Credit card (aiming to get this down with 0% card)
