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!
Finally paid off an old overdraft with Halifax with this one
Now onto evil Barclaycard..

It's payday! So finally off the mark, woohoo!

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
