Hello, I am joining you on the debt free journey, for a couple of loans that are giving me anxiety and also my mortgage. I have been reading these diaries for inspiration and it’s time to start my own. I hope to get to know many of you as time goes on. I moved into my home last April and I have some loan repayments that…

I know that forum users are not allowed to advise others to avoid using certain businesses so all I will say is that in the past, I've used Twootz many times to purchase wild bird food and although they were sometimes a bit slow in sending out goods, their customer service people always replied to any communications sent…

I previously posted the results of calculating the gain/loss of Net Asset Value in dollars resulting from selling £100K of VEVE and buying £100K of VALL at the closing price each day. This gain/loss occurs as a result of the differing discount or premium to Net Asset Value of the two ETFs. It does not include brokerage…

I opened and funded the regular saver on 29th September and am now trying to make my 2nd contribution. I've paid £300 into my Chase current a/c but when I try to then move it to the regular saver it's not showing as an option to receive the funds.

Hi - I have been fighting with Eon since I had a gas smart meter fitted which appeared to almost triple my gas bills. Due to the way they bill (multiple debits and credits) I have never been able to figure out whether bills are correct and no-one could give me a clear explanation. I went through Ombudsman who dismissed my…

Turning 30 in June – time to get serious about my debt Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking about starting a diary on here for a while, but I’ve kept putting it off. I think part of that is because writing down all my debts and facing up to the situation I’ve got myself into isn’t particularly easy. I’m turning 30 in June, and…

Good morning.

To echo the words of many a school report, I must try harder! My dad often quoted ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ and it’s taken many years and losing my dear dad before I really took it to heart that I am that fool. My position isn’t terrible, but I’m terrible with money. I often get to the middle of the month with…

I've not even got a mortgage yet, but here I go. I'm finally getting on the housing ladder and settling, after living around the country for the last decade. I've been in a position where "I'm just about to buy" for about 8 years for various reasons, so while I've not spent well, I could have saved better instead of…

Good evening, Im posting this on behalf of a friend. Its regarding a letter from Kaw Plus demanding £420 and also potential court proceedings. He has no idea who or what it is they are after him for. Assuming its one of those car finance mis-selling things. Ive attached a few pages of his letter. They dont take phone calls…

Welcome to the 🎄Saving for Christmas 2026 - £1 a day🎄 challenge. So many of us have enjoyed doing this challenge over the years, so here it is again. A bit late starting this one as still not heard back from kdalwayskint who normally runs this challenge, so thought I'd get this one underway before we get too far into…

Several years ago I bought a tablet for my elderly father so he was able to keep in touch with grandchildren and have video calls. I paid monthly, but the contract ended in 2023. He's no longer in a position to use it so I recently cancelled the direct debit. The mobile provider, Three, has now put the account into…

Hello - I am a newbie here and have just come back from holiday to find two letters from HM Courts & Tribunal Service,yay…. One about a parking charge (both Parking Eye) from nearly 4 years ago and the other from nearly 2. I am hoping to get / use some of the fantastic advice I have seen on here, but I am totally lost…

Our 2 years fixed deal with Leeds BS is ending in January and my mortgage advisor is starting to look at rates for me. She emailed the other day to say could I speak to Leeds to allow her access as she couldn't check the account as there was a block that needed taking off the account. They called me from Leeds this morning…
