It all adds up and you would probably have just frittered it away otherwise (I know I would have done
)
You have had a monir setback but you have the right attitude to money. Just learn from experience
It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey

you are right, i used to think it was silly paying 50p or £1.00 to my credit card nearly everyday but you do soon see the difference.
Total debt- 2982.00 Now- £2890.000 -
yeah, it feels good to put in towards debt i think
weighed in some of my scrap today, i got £530 and stopped off at the bank on the way home and put the lot in.
my balance is £8085 now, i going down but just seems slow
i have got more scrap but i think it's probably only around 100-150 pounds worth, gonna sort it over the next week.0 -

my loan is in the collections department, i have just come out of a payment plan and was told i am £92 in arrears. she said if i paying in that today then it will be taken out of collections.
i am just gonna put £100 instead of £92 though.
i cudnt get to the bank today though with my car being off the road, i would like to ring up now to make the payment but have no idea which number to ring. i dont really have any paperwork with telephone numbers on, any help? just ring customer services maybe?0 -
paid the £92 pounds towards my account (they would only let me pay that amount) and they say within 24-48 hours my account should be out of the collections department... YAY!!!!!
i also have an unwanted current account with llyods with zero balance that they would not let me close due to my loan being in coolections. i should not be able to close this.
will the fact that from today i am no longer in arrears affect my credit rating at all by any chance?0
