    Right I have transferred 950 and it's cost me 988 so that is good as i would get charged more in interest.

    Once it clears I will use a small part to clear the OD (< 200) and put the rest back onto the card which pays the part of the balance that is charged interest first.

    FUMING - I have a letter off Tesco saying they are charging me for late payment when I have closed the account.

    On the phone to them and the girl said there was interest charged after i paid it off and £12 on top of that late payment fee - I am kicking right off with them as I was told the account was closed and obviously clear !

    No way I am paying this and to top it off I will have a late payment on my credit file!

    Right I have spoken to a lovely girl who is honouring my complaint and marking it back to zero so I can go in and close it AGAIN next week - these ppl....my worry is that there will be more interest next month as the balance isn't at 0 at this month yet.....

    Not sure if this is the best way to do it but when I have made a final payments to my CCs I have always overpaid by about £10. Then any last pennies of interest come out of that. Then when I have closed the account I have asked for the credit amount to be refunded.

    You can't trust these companies can you :mad:

    Morning peeps

    Right - tasks of the day.

    Firstly checked and the 0% BT cash is in my account so I have immediately paid £650 back. I will be paying more than this but want to wait until the account has settled down as I need to make sure I stay in the black.

    Now I am off to check my Tesco card that I no longer have!

    Morning world :)

    Well it is Friday and there will be 100 millionaires in the UK tonight who weren't millionaires at the time of me typing this :)

    Let's hope one of us is them so we can wipe the debts out! Although given no one knows I have debt how would I account for the 1 mill being slightly short LOL.

    Well the bank have not reduced my Overdraft as I asked them too - bloody useless. So I will go into the branch at lunch time and get them to do it. Will feel better in the knowledge it's been done.

    Looking forward to a frugalistic weekend filled with happy family moments and thinking of living the dream.
