Off to a good start a £200 Christmas Bonus saved for my challenge.

Yippee, now I need to think about selling some bits and pieces on EBay

Finally cancelled Credit Expert £7 a month down the drain because you have to phone to cancel (hangs head in shame) and I only ever remember the day after it comes out of bank, get home from work, ring, remember it shuts 6pm and promptly forget until next time.......anyway, have emailed myself at work and definitely ringing them tomorrow so that is £77 a year saved (this month's is due any day so not counting it)

PS checked it today for first time in months and it doesn't have half my creditors on there any more for some reason???? 2 of the 4 on there are British Gas, account closed March 2010 and MINT Card, balance settled 2005!!!!

Thats because not all companies use one agency. Thats why when you check your rating its advisable to check all 3. Some will show up on credit expert that dont on experien etc etc.

I'm meeting my friend at the gym at 8 so i'll be raiding the lockers to see if anyone has left 50ps behind :rotfl:.

Will take my own juice etc so will put £1 in the pot for that!

Thanks, I was just sure when I first signed up to them that more of my creditors were on there?? It was a good view of my finances (when we were applying to rent a flat) at the time with the free trial I just forgot to cancel it!!! To be fair I might not have given CreditExpert my new address, but all my creditors have it so maybe it's no longer linked,

Anyway, it was a good free trial to get a snapshot of my finances at one time and I am now manually on top of them - I just should have cancelled the payments but it is a nightmare how it is not DD and you have to ring them they refused to accept emails - sneaky. I did keep it for a while when I thought we would be moving again but now we are waiting until after we get married.

Thanks for the info and well done to everyone. Off to check out costabingo

Well today I got a letter from EOn saying they are reducing my DD from 1st /Feb by £20pcm! yay! That's about it today as sadley i've been in bed all day and totally wasted it! Grrrrrrrrr!

Can any CostaBingo users tell me what the minimum amount in your account has to be before you can withdraw? I have done a thread search and in April it appears it was £30? I have looked at website FAQs and it talks about withdrawals but does not mention a minimum, but perhaps there are more detailed t and c if you actually sign up.

Does anyone know? TIA
