My good news
Silverstar
Posts: 92 Forumite
I've barely posted on here before, but I check the boards pretty much every day, and I've taken so much useful advice from here.
Six months ago, I was in a real mess, continually going over my overdraft, making late payments or skipping payments on my credit cards, and my credit report was abysmal. I got turned down for every low interest credit card or loan I applied for to try to help myself dig myself out, and wasn't really sure how to go about sorting myself out.
However, after six months of following advice both from here, and from my fantastic boyfriend, I've just been approved for two 0% credit cards, with high enough limits to transfer all my current cards onto. My credit report is so much better, and I'm finally well on the way to sorting myself out.
Just wanted to say thanks
