  • PSL - Just trying to make sure that this debt busting is always the main thing on my mind right now, it needs 100% of my focus so that it can be gone gone gone! I love a wee emoji!

    tori.k - I'm sure he will appreciate socks if it means he can get back on the road sooner.

  • God sake!

    Someone has opened a catalogue account in my maiden name at an old address.

    Checked it on Clearscore & it shows account was opened on 31 August 2016.

    Contacted the company who found 2 accounts, both of them have been reported as fraudulent & closed down but this is so annoying.

    I'm wondering whether it's worthwhile getting Experian for 14.99 a month because this company told me you can add a credit password so that anytime you apply for credit you need to give this password so that it goes through.

  • That must be so annoying. Can the police do anything about that, it is fraud or theft or both.
    Makes me so cross how people can do that.

  • Just finished your diary dolly - you can really see the journey, and how hard you are focused on getting this debt paid down. I love your honesty as well, because it isn't easy, and it is so tempting to cheat (with buying and food!) Very inspirational!
    Looking forward to following along on your journey :)
    Hope you've had a nice day x
