    Coming late to the party - I kind of dropped off several years ago, but would like to be in for £10,000 please (as I'm a couple of months away from my DFD). Once I have my number, I'll send an update on the year so far. Thanks :)

    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!
