    I'm pleased with the dent being made in Zopa. I can't wait to close the card down.

  • Wow. Time flies.

    My 1st default is already 1 year into its 6 year sentence. And the most recent one already 7 months old.

    I've just transferred my £50 NatWest rewards into my current account. That's heading towards Zopa shortly.

    I bit the bullet and paid off + closed my Zopa account.

    *Fireworks*

    No more PADS this month though.

    I'll boost my monthly payment to Capital One for now as Vanquis are still not charging me interest ( they never let me know about this though, just stopped the interest charges suddenly without giving a reason so I've no idea how long they will keep being so kind. )
