The best I saw was £96 with a £45 call out fee. You're looking at around £150. I did see a DIY fix, and am going to research it this weekend to see what the risks are. The DIY fix is around £20 for tools so quite a saving if it's reliable!0 -
Another week..another payment!

It's payday! So finally off the mark, woohoo!
#061 666/3600
I'm really happy because I've managed to clear my overdraft once and for all, I've lived in it for a few years now.
If I could offer a little tip to people with multiple debts it would be to clear your overdraft as a priority. The interest charged on it is generally quite high but the main reason is psychological. It's such a boost to see your full wage in your bank account on payday and I'm positive it will be easier to budget for the month.
When you have -£2500 in your account (like I did) it can be difficult to know how to budget for the essentials!
Thanks everyone!LBM: Jan 2013
