More money added to savings :T

Another £600 - yay!

So far put away £881 this month. Might be able to do one more this month but will see. Unfortunately i expect some money soon from a passed away immediate family member, he barely made it past his 30th birthday so lesson learnt to enjoy everyday in life, one way or the other.

Thanks SF xx

Morning All, I have just have a cheque in the post from Co-op bank - a great wee surprise. It is a refund of interest on a loan I had with them as there was apparently a mistake made by them that didn't comply with the consumer credit agreement. Never heard about this one, does anyone on here know what that is?

Anyhow some of it will be used on a couple of bits in the house and £300 will be added to my savings giving them a nice boost.

Hi,
Yes I did receive a check fron Nationwide last year for the same reason. Expecting another from Barclays later this year when another loan opened during the target period settles. Should help getting me back in the green
Love it when banks make mistakes!

Hi all,

Oops, I don't seem to have a number for this year. Maybe I forgot to register. May I still join? I am saving on a monthly basis.

All the best,

A couple of good news items from me: through many emails, some of which unfortunately unpleasant, I have managed to secure payments from Quidco (c. £27) on a payout they appeared to be trying to get out of and my claim against Thomson has finally settled, through Botts, so I'm expecting another £300 or so. Thomson money likely to come next month so my March submission will still likely be low!

Also on Monday my 11 year old car, who hasn't had a service since I got her two years ago, passed her MOT first time round. So that's £55 back into my budget woo!

Anyway, it's a shame that you have to fight (... for your rights) but this website and this forum have educated me enough that I'm genuinely making £100s out of it. Yay!
