Payment A Day Chapter 18
Comments

Morning All,
I hope that you're all doing well. I finally decided to get my head out of the sand and move some money around so that I could clear as much of my two overdrafts as possible, as the daily fee was a bit :eek:.
So with a balance transfer to a 0% credit card, to buy me more time to get back into employment, my PAD offering today is a massive £1,400. I've managed to clear the smaller overdraft and cut the other one in half :j so I am feeling much better about things. It was getting me down too much.
Have a good day everyone,
xx
For this major decision making in a very good way there is only one thing for it!Some great PADs being made lately and, just as important, some clear decision making on what to do about debts. Sometimes you get in a bit of a rut just trying to deal with things and it's always good to take a step back and check you are doing the best you can, getting the best rates etc.
For me survey money has ennabled me to make a payment of £25 to balance cc2 today please.
So true....in my debt free journey I often stalled or took a few steps back - good to have a clear look at what you are doing debt busting every so often and tweak/change a few things to get back on track!
So second these wise words - remember one of mantras folks! tis not going down that's the crime but staying down
Blessings folks

Hi All,
My PAD is my minimum payment direct debit of £25 to MBNA. This is now finally under £800 so I am starting to see the light at end of the tunnel :j.
Sashanut - glad that you're all better. I've never had norovirus but I know that it wipes you out too.
Erme - thanks for my llamamuch appreciated and I am sleeping much better since I've moved things around and I am actually budgeting more. I have had my head in the sand for far too long.
Sashybo - well done, reducing it by a year is an amazing achievement :T

Hello,
Kirtsypoos it's great to know all your debt is at 0% at least, it takes the edge off! I am working on it, some of my o% deals end in the next few months so we'll see.
Sashybo cutting the date by a year is amazing! Well done!
