Righto, well I'm in two minds now. I have the option of completing this challenge, as we've received a settlement for our Bank Charges, but it would mean I would be without an overdraft and it that I'd feel that I've cheated!
It does mean that we could start procedures against my bank though, as they couldn't whip away the overdraft.... GAH!!
I guess I could always work towards a grand offa summat else??
Advice greatly received! :rolleyes:OH OD - £100.00/£100.00 Joint OD - £100.00/£100.00StepChange: £10,057.670 -
Um, not sure why you'd feel you'd cheated, unless cos you're getting a lump sum from the bank back. Definitely use is to pay off the overdraft if it means you can start proceedings against your bank for more.

Awwww. Thank you.
I think it's because I've not put as much hard graft in as I though I would ie, eBaying, Mystery Shopping, getting extra work, selling a kidney...
Sending a couple of threatening letter to a bank doesn't seem that hard!
I hope you don't mind, but seeing as I have completed, I wanna hang round and cheer the rest of you guys on!! :T :T :T :TOH OD - £100.00/£100.00 Joint OD - £100.00/£100.00StepChange: £10,057.670 -

Hello folks. First post so please be gentle!
The only card I have near £1k is my Dorothy Perkins account card at £1557.
I think it is my highest interest card too so may as well aim to pay it off first!
Will cut it up this weekend...0 -

I've got my dad and my little nephew looking over me. Seriously though, my wins have increased since my dad and nephew died last year but not sure how much that has to do with it.
Congratulations on completing the challenge :T :T :T
You could start on another debt if you still want to join in
