Co-op have refunded me
I was quite stunned on Saturday morning to receive a letter from Co-op Bank stating that a loan I'd taken out didn't meet the Consumer Credit Regulations. They have refunded me all the interest I'd paid - £1500. These things never happen to me! Clearly I'm really pleased but it does feel wrong to get an interest free loan. I've already donated half the amount to charity and the rest will be put into savings.

It was money I didn't think I had - getting it was a bonus. So yes, I'd prefer to share that benefit with others. Being money-smart isn't the same as being tight! The charity is small and such an amount can go a reasonable way with what they do.0 -
Pretty sure our beloved moneysaving leader Martin has given away big chunks of his vast fortune to charity.foxy-stoat wrote: »So you have given away £750 already.....? Not very money saving is it!?

It's refreshing to see a post like this where the OP isn't asking about how to get more money from them, like in the other thread about this...
Well done
