Martin on BBC Watchdog Tues 1st Feb

Just seen you Martin on Watchdog.

As always sound advice on paying cheques and or how to avoid paying charges on late fees on CC.

I already have a direct debit for my CC as I too had the late charge slapped on me several years ago. Its sound advice.

I went to Halifax yesterday to pay the full balance of a CC I want paying off. Over a £1000 and was told by Halifax that they would charge my £10 for a cheque to get from them to go into Abbey National to pay the card off. In the end I got the cash shoved in an envelope to walk 20 yards up the road.

Fortunately although I am now cleard up I got one debt I dont need to worry about anymore and now a card tart so no interest on another and can now manage a debt without incurring interest.
