    Thanks El,

    Just had the post today, one is a credit balance on an old phone bill I had complained about. Not as much as I had hoped for because it cost me 2 sets of bank charges, but at least I have £39 coming back to me. Will be ringing them up today to get it paid into the bank.

    The other was a letter from HSBC - wrote to them last week asking for OH credit card statements for the past 6 years sending standard £10 cheque. They have returned the cheque and will send statements without cost. Not bad!

    So all in all, a good start to the day :D

    Morning Hypno,

    Just catching up on your diary, the signature made me laugh - I agree 4 maltesers definitely don't count. Well done on the giving up chocolate, I liked the tip from your GP.

    It's re-assuring/inspiring to know that you are still here chipping away at your debt no matter what life throws at you, thanks.

    Hi Hypno, havent posted on here for a while. Just wanted to give you a big pat on the back for all that you have achieved recently, esp. not letting that !!!!!! of a person get you down. Not worth it at all. Wishing you all the best hunny x

    Blimey Hypno - at quarter past 8 this morning I'd not even finished my first cup of coffee, and you're already undertaking DFW stuff! Can I ask who the old phone bill credit it with? NTL ended up with a £50 credit on my account, and I've had no joy getting it back from either them or Virgin once it switched over (about 18 months I left them now!) Please let me know if you have any joy, and what you had to threaten them with to get it!

    Costa Coffee have their headquarters down the road!!!!! Could go down and picket outside if they do not give me lots of lovely vouchers, and some free choc chip muffins :rotfl: Thanks ATB for finding that for me!

    My phone saga was with TalkTalk/onetel. Had complained several times before threatening them with the ombudsman if they did not rectify it within 7 days. Suddenly something has happened - I wonder why :confused:
