Hi!
been a while since I was last on here as i went away to camp and then got bogged down with business/selling flat/writing all my bank charge letters LOL!
today I have PAID OFF Capital One credit card AND Legal and Trade (Next Directory account).
Made £60 profit at car boot last week and currently emptying flat via ebay and car boots to sell it. If I reach target sale price I should have enough for deposit and fees for new place but also a good wedge for debts! YEEE HAAAA
been spending a bit of time on the consumer action group site and read up loads on charge refunds and also about getting defaults removed from your credit file. I figured that i'm writing all these letters and prepared to play hard ball with all these creditors I should give it a go....whats the worst they can say? No? and I stick with the 5 years i've got left on them.
will keep posting more as i've lost the "no spend" day enthusiasum by not posting and keeping track.

Hey you,
You sound like you are doing really well - I'm amazed you've got time to post with everything you have got going on just now!
Good luck with everything and I'm looking forward to doing a car boot with you very soon!
Love
