  • Flipping interest rates! We are paying over 20% on all of our credit card debts bar one and I'm really cheesed off with most of our payments each month going on interest......BUT our credit rating is so poor that we are unable to get accepted for any 0% deals on any other cards!

    OH R-O :( are you in the UK? (sorry so many on here i forget who is where!) as im sure Mr MSE posted in one of his news letters about the 'bad credit' 0% card not so long ago. Cant remember the transfer fee but it was something like 13 months interest free for people with bad credit.
    Might be worth a look at the redit card section and see if you can find the info?

    Ugh I feel awful today, got bad tummy, really needed to sleep longer this morning but DH insists on having the black out blind 4 inches open (so the sun wakes me up at stupid oclock) so I was up at 7am after not going to sleep till past midnight and having broken sleep all night as I ws hot then cold then hot then cold :mad:

  • Jake's Mum - hope you feel better soon.

    Kerri - have a good flight back :)

    KissyKissyKissy - as all loans are different you will need to read the small print to see if you can pay the loan off early without a penalty - look at the early redemption penalty section.

    Hubby got paid yesterday - couple of hundred quid down due to being on paternity leave. Most of our dd have gone out already, but scarily only £268 left in the bank! On a plus note, our tax credits have been updated and we received our new payment today so hopefully will be able to crack on with the debt busting if not this month then definitely next month!
