    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.


    close it better to be scared than in debt :D the apr rate on being scared is very low;)
