Such a shame

Options
The way things are going in my financial life, I can't complain. Everything seems so much more comfortable since joining this forum. I don't have a good salary, but with overtime and callouts, my average monthly take-home is around £1,900. Money's really good. I'm not sure i've grasped the paying off the debts thing properly.

I just made two applications for a loan to bring my two current loans into one at a cheaper rate. With a bit of hard work over the past few months trying to build some confident history, I felt I may be able to find a loan at a better rate than my current two; 15.8% and 15.9%.

Two searches later the best I'm offered is 22.9% :eek:

Not sure on the point of this thread... Guess it was just a vent.

Now back to those overpayments....
