    Bit of a disaster as had to buy parts for MOT so this has set us behind this month. Need that emergency fund!! 

    The battle with AGM is ongoing. I keep complaining to Experian who are not remotely interested but I like being a pain and keep on making my point that they are facilitating bullying companies like AGM.

    Great win on the Klarna account, well done.
    It is very easy to chuck random purchases on these without much thought as its such a small payment each month. It must be a nice feeling to have got rid of it

    Is it worth mentioning to Experian that by holding inaccurate information, they are in breach of data protection law and if it isn’t dealt with within 30 days, under the right to rectification, you will be escalating to the Ico?
