Good news about the interest refund. Are you going to make an extra payment of that amount and reduce your balance further?

Brilliant turnaround on the figures with all but £700 on 0%. Would be worth you finding the £700 over the coming month or 2, just get it cleared then all on 0%. If you have a 0% purchase, just throw your expenses on that for a month and clear the month after.1

They have applied the refund direct to the account. It has reduced the balance by about £125.joedenise said:Good news about the interest refund. Are you going to make an extra payment of that amount and reduce your balance further?0 -
The aim is to have that balance cleared over winter when we are not going out so much and spending so much which should be easily achievable.alt80 said:Brilliant turnaround on the figures with all but £700 on 0%.
