in Credit cards
After second thoughts, I closed off 2 CC's today, a few months after the 0% term expired. Total available credit limit was £11,500.
Tempting to keep them open, just in case, but experience of being on here and ensuring debt free goal, I knew the correct decision was to close them.

100% the right decision or the balances will creep back up before you know it.2013 - Finally got the house we' ve worked so hard to get......now it's a life of diy and no money....couldn't be happier 😊
2020 - mortgage free target set 8 years and counting 🎯
Even the longest walks start with one small step....get your boots on.0 -
I did the same with my dormant M&S card - had a credit card limit of £7K - and I just don't want the temptation of it. Nice lady on the other end of the phone tried to persuade me to keep it and offered to reduce the limit - but stuck to my guns and the account is now closed.
Some famous person once said, I can resist everything except temptation (something like that).0
