Dr, who you claiming your charges from?

Machsmum, welcome

Hi Jo

I'm in the process of claiming £390 back from Barclays, posted the letter before action today. They now have 14 days to pay me back or I start court proceedings (gulp! :undecided) I'm hoping they'll settle really - I deliberately included stat. interest in my claim in the hope that they'll offer to settle without interest which'll do me just fine Don't really want to take it to court, but I will if I have to.

kbarty - I'm really sorry to hear that. I take it this was unexpected? Wish him luck finding a new job, I'm sure things will work out. Crossing my fingers for you anyway.

I have finally listed some items on Ebay - it always takes so long to do!! I'll list some more on Thursday evening I think. Anyway, 7 items is ok for now and I'm hoping that they will all sell for around £150-£200 .

Here's an update of my totals:

AQA - £131.10
Change - £8.00
Mystery Shopping - £12.70
Quidco - £38.45
Ebay - £151.00
Yougov - £1.50
Other - £248.50

Total - £591.25

I've earnt another £11.10 on my AQA account so far this month, I've done 2 £4 surveys for a mystery shopping company and my Yougov account is up and running with £1.50!

I will definitely get above the £600 mark by tomorrow evening.

I hope so. He got his hgv class 2 licence this year but hasn't got lots of experience yet. It's such a shame as he really loved this job, was just what he wanted to do, his boss was nice and was giving him a chance even though he had no experience (well he had a little, about 1 month prior to it). So he'll be phoning agencies up tomorrow.

Was quite strange as we got a phone call today about a job he applied for when he was looking for jobs last time (when he got this one) and I told them that he was working now. Then of course he heard the bad news. Anyway he has phoned them back and has an interview on Friday. This isn't a driving job though but something completely different.
