Hey,

Just thought I would share my elation that I have been accepted for a £10k Co-op loan. Worked out that this will save me over £250 per month. Bring on being debt free! If you haven't checked out how much you can save consolidating your debts, have a look...

    I also consolidated my loans to 1 loan that is an APR of 9.9% but I did also cut my credit cards up and close all other lines of credit.

    Consolidating is frowned upon because people run their cards up again but if you do it properly it can be useful

    Consolidation can work, but you have to be very disciplined and address the issues that got you into debt in the first place.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
