Help for a newbie?

Options
:confused: I am obviously a newbie to this forum. I need to ask a question, but before I do the answer may be in "what is Stoozing?". Plain English please.

    There's a very useful stoozing calculator available here which can be used in conjunction with all your stoozing activities...
    Mortgage Feb 2001 - £129,000
    Mortgage July 2007 - £0
    Original Mortgage Termination Date - Nov 2018
    Mortgage Interest saved - £63790.60
    ISA Profit since Jan 1st 2015 - 98.2% (updated 1 Dec 2020)
  • another newbie here...

    wondering if anyone out there knows of another card, like my Abbey Card, which allows you to pay just £5.00 as a min. payment so that I can maximise the amount of lovely money that I keep in my own account?

    many thanks
  • EGG allows you to SBT the money back into your current account, so effectively you pay nothing. Watch out for your credit rating though, as it could nose dive if you are not seen by credit agencies to be paying off the minimum payments.

    I don't think that will be a problem. The CRAs will show a nice row of zeros as you are paying off the minimum amounts. Egg would know what you are doing but other companies just looking at a CRA report would not. The balance would be maxed out but they don't know whether that was through BTs or spending.

    Thanks for that... Shame really tho as I guess that they wont be too impressed at my trying to transfer a balance from one of their cards to another!!
