Just realised that the new bank account I opened which is with nationwide - are taking over virgin money (very recent news!) ..and I owe debt to virgin money..so I’ll move my wage into starling bank -luckily opened it a while ago but never used so this is coming handy..
when you look in banks— first direct owned by hsbc, Halifax with Lloyds, Lloyds with BoS,, and the list carries on..soon all these high streets banks will have links to each other ..hopefully more independent banks will come out.
Just checked my credit file and see that PayPal reported missed payment.got mixed emotions about see this as never missed a payment in my whole life..mixed emotions of weird..it’ll get worse before it gets better agai ..
