  • I am pleased you are in this position @South_coast and letting us know your plans and your thinking behind them.

    I am finding it motivational in working harder with getting my house finances in order.

    I would have liked the option to opt out and not have debt forced on me.

    It’s not real debt though. The pay back is just added to the other policy charges in the standing charges. It’s more a cloak and dagger policy where it looks like they are giving everyone a break now, but actually isn’t enough and solves nothing since the prices will be even higher later. Just kicks the can down the road so to speak.
