Paid-off debts sparking an avalanche of mail

Does anyone else find this? The second I pay something off for good (Creation, for example, for my sofa) they start bombarding me with offers for loans, credit cards, you name it. B*gger off, can't you, I've paid if off for a reason! I've got enough creditors still lying around, I don't need to take old ones back on board!

    Yes, this is currently happening to me! I am getting trees through my letter box!

    They seem to overlook the fact that, the reason why we are paying them off, is so we are no longer in debt! I suppose they want our money back! This will NOT happen any time soon :) Once I've cleared off the remaining £1300, I will never, in a million years, owe anything to anyone.


    By the way, BIG well done!
    Everything in my life is a reflection of who I am-as within, so without.
