  • re-reading old posts and thought i'd update this one, i actually paid back all my credit cards in order to apply for a re-mortage. bringing my mortgage rate down from 4.79 to 3.49%.

    current situation:
    no credit cards
    bank account in the black
    friend 1 owes me £4600
    friend 2 owes me £600
    i owe friend 3 £1300
    friend 1 has been paying every month but at that rate will take 3 years to clear
    friend 2 i'm hoping will pay in one go in a few weeks
    finally, i should be able to pay friend 3 what i owe him in 4-5 weeks.
    bit of a nightmare though...

    stop lending money to people...or borrowing it from them! 4 years with someone else's debt is madness.
