Great start to the weekend for me. I checked my Capital One online and the last DD has gone through, bringing the account to £0.00 :j I immediately called them and closed the account :)

Since my LBM in October I have now cleared my 2 highest APR cards. I'm more pleased with the fact I had the will power to close the card accounts rather than go shopping

    Well done, I cleared my Capital One yesterday too.

    Not closing the account yet though, just in case - the thought of having no buffer scares me a bit, but I'm into the debtbusting enough that I know I won't shop on it.

    Congratulations :beer: It's a great feeling when you phone up to close an account. Gives you a real sense of taking control back.
