  • A large glass of wine please.

    One little letter sent has resulted almost £1000, yes a thousand pounds of interest being refunded!

    This means another 3 credit cards are paid off this week! and 2 months shaved off our debt free date.

    And just to make it a really fabulous day they have promised to removed anything negative from our credit file.

    Quick update, not only did Barclaycard refund £1000 over 3 cards enabling us to clear the balances completely, but this morning we received a virgin experience pamper package for 2 from them because they felt we hadn't received good service. Absolutely amazed - I really need a drink!

    I'm so pleased to post in this thread. I never thought I'd be doing this so soon, but ....... I've reached my £1000 emergency fund, and can now throw more money at the debt from next month.
    A little self congratulatory, but it's been hard work, so I'm taking it.
    Pint of bitter please!
