The Money Store

Hiya

Well after my little moan yesterday cos I was going to be incurring charges from both the bank and the money store cos I could not afford to rollover my loan today or pay it off my little guardian angel (my brother) helped me out after I told him that I would be getting into debt of over £500+ cos the money store will not set up a repayment plan till you get into debt with them (they charge £25 per cheque plus they require the full value of the cheque to be paid) and the bank would not help out at all (£20 per cheque and £15 a day for being overdrawn) (in fact one person from the bank actually said to me today "that will teach you to mess with payday loans")

Anyway he lent me the full £250 to pay off the loan entirely and I will now pay him back the money in full in two weeks so its one debt less :T

I have vowed to myself that by the end of the year I will have no debt whatsoever (credit cards, loans etc) and so far I am doing quite well, wish me luck anyway :)

    I don't understand your full situation but I would suggest you post over at the debt free wannabe board... lots of support and advice there.

    Thanks Clapton, Thankfully theres no situation now but there would have been had I not been able to pay this loan off today. I have two other payday loans but they are getting paid off at the end of this month (never to be taken out again though they were needed at the time)
