Well done Sarah, you should have Citi paid off asap and once all that Quidco and TCB comes in Barclaycard is history soon after. When does the 0% deal run out on Egg? Would they up your limit yet? What APR will Egg be when the deal ends? I am going to send you a PM so watch out for it.

Sayonara Citi!!!!

egg is 0% til june... going to apply for higher limit now.. probably a waste of time though lol. Not sure about the apr though...

edit just applied and got declined suprise suprise.. apr will be 16.9% :rolleyes:

Oh June - that is good I had thought it was January (well there was a J in the month somewhere ) That should give you heaps of time. I was a bit concerned it was January and although BC should be gone by then there is Xmas etc and birthdays no doubt soon and I was thinking you were going to get stung with interest but that is GREAT NEWS. You now have a PM - sorry it took me a few mins to write it

Just called up to check the citi balance to see if we could pay it off next week and it's actually £467.36 whereas last thing I knew it was £465.29??? Weird.....
Either way what I'm going to do is move over all the spare money from wages instead of having £850 in there when the bills only actually come to £825. That way we'll be able to pay citi off totally and I'll just keep track of the bills as they go out to make sure there's no nasty suprises..

So looks like we'll be able to pay citi off at the end of next week after all

Did you sign up for the microsoft online 'free' trial £5 quidco offer. If you did and you put in the citi credit card details you may find that they have taken £1 from your card. I somehow signed up twice and they have taken two £1's from my account but only as authorised transactions and they are due to 'drop off' I think?

I think it was only for Portman customers as Nationwide took them over. She got taxed £40 as well....:mad: I didn't think little ones got taxed.

They may just do it by default. Fill in a tax-return for her and claim it back.
