    ...Well done ... Now cut up at the CC numbers on receipts you might have lying around so you can't use the number over the phone / online etc.

    CONGRATS! x

    Well done to the both of you.

    Deliciosa, I know how you feel cos the first time I cut a card up (years ago) I was scared and thinking "what if this happens....what if that happens...." and you make yourself dependent on it.

    But you've done the right thing. Now you cannot spend on it any more which means that they cannot charge you 29% APR any more for any more purchases which is a horrendous APR!!

    CAFC Girl....going through that chip is just fantastic isn't it? :D
