    Thank you! I'm just loading some stuff up on to Ebay to increase the overdraft fund a bit more.

    I'm really looking forward to not living off my overdraft - it'll be the first time in 10 years without maxing it!

    Well one of them have contacted me and agreed to my offer in a roundabout way. I sent my new amount on 1st Feb, they wrote on 5th Feb to say they hadn't received the payment as promised and mentioned the new figure. I guess that's agreement. BTW - they'd received the payment the following day.

    The last one still hasn't contacted me, but it's nearly three weeks since the payment went to them, and 5 weeks since the letter went. I'm assuming that's that for now.

    Hi milliejon, just start paying and record all times of phone calls and ask for the name of the person that you spoke with.

    We still have one slugging behind :rolleyes: Mint

    CAB have a lovely letter which says please contact me or I'll assume the account is settled :rotfl: Will dig out the template on Thursday from work, PM me if you want a copy!

    Thanks Gem. I think I'll leave things as they are for now. When I know what my wages will be like, I can write to them again and will hopefully be able to increase again.
