Halifax was a 5 year loan again to refinance CC's so 18 months old.
The Capital One CC is 13 years old originally for £8,000 and only ever paid the minimum repayment.
The Santander cards are getting to be nearly 18 months old and due for replacement next year. Still have good credit so I'll try a balance transfer or pay them off using cheaper credit when the time comes to keep the interest low.
Halifax have offered a 0% balance transfer for 24 months
Barclay's have offered a 0% balance transfer for 12 months0 -
have another stab at the SOA, with as much , correct info on it. Don't worry, I don't think anyone gets it right first time!
So, are you not paying anything at all to all those creditors ?
Each to their own, but I couldn't be defaulting(?) on debts when I had the means to pay it off (selling the house). Won't it scupper your chance of re-mortgaging when the time comes if you haven't been servicing the debts?LIVE SIMPLY * GIVE MORE * EXPECT LESS * BE THANKFUL0 -
CCA. Request to the capital one account, should be your next move, good chance there's no paperwork for this one, could be one less to worry about !!!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

£95 per month for a bus pass :eek: Have you checked with your travel company that this is the best deal. I pay less than £60 per month on direct debit for mine and I can travel across Birmingham and the Black Country for that!Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0

So you keep taking out loans to consolidate the cards - what do you them spend on the cards again for? What has been missing in your SOA?Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0

I'd be surprised if you could get further credit with ~£27,000 of debt on an ~£18,000 salary. And if you're defaulting every month I imagine your chances would be lower still.
No not defaulting. I withdraw cash from the Virgin One account. It's a flexible mortgage and pay the credit cards and loans.
I'll try SOA again.

It's a flexible mortgage. Called the Virgin One Account. No payments are required. The rent payments go into that account then I withdraw money from the account to pay the loans and credit cards. When I go to the cashpoint the slip shows I am overdrawn by whatever amount.
I did say it would look worse than it is.0 -
might be being a bit dim (it has been a long day)
what you are saying with that soa is (just for the mortgaged house)
Income
+£600
Expenses
-100 rental property
+300 mortgage (this is shown as a minus on your SOA as you have shown it reducing your overall monthly expenses)
Total +200
Overall this is an extra £800 is that right???DFD September 2017
