Advice please?
I was thinking getting a 0% credit card (33 months it says at this) and was going to use it to clear my overdraft?
You think it would be a good idea or leave it?xDebt (1/9/14) £6,702.11 Debt free (30/11/2016) mortgage port- £70,077.82 and mortgage £126,517.39 o/s currently

Hi monz, if you are currently paying for being in your overdraft and you're sure you won't get into any more debt by using the cc for anything else, then I would say probably go for it - makes sense to have the debt at 0%Mortgage 26.4.25 - £108,500 1.8.25 - £106,362.86
Mortgage overpayment savings - £2.11/£50
Mortgage overpayments so far - £675.980 -
Thanks!!!I will apply the now and see how it goes. Was reading up on it through this site

I would say its always better to have it on 0%
As long as you are strict with yourself & pay it off in time.
I have been a wee plonker before & got the 0% then paid off the rest of the cards then ran them all up again - whoops!

As my granda has given me £40 over last couple days and I have got messages and paid off lotto for work and such... I decided pay the odds of £4.31 to my next account making it £180 I owe to it and £4.95 to my loan to make it end in 0. Every little contribution helps haha

Do you think if each month after interest is added and that if I keep rounding it off might pay off loan quicker as well... obv I will keep overpaying but the little £4 here and there I guess in a year would be like £48 approx extra payment in a year

Whatever you save from anywhere just get it all paid to the debt.
Thats what I am gonna be doing each month just to try & get it down as much as possible.
