Not In Cahoots with them anymore !

I've done something ! Something positive. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I have a 'flexible' loan of just over £3,500 with a division of Abbey called Cahoot. This particular financial institution offered a very flexible loan deal way back at the turn of the century. Now bearing in mind I had my financial beer goggles on at that time I took them up on the offer of a £4000 @ 6.9% or thereabouts. This 6.9% has considerably shifted over the last 7 years and is now at the extortionate rate of 19.9 % ! The balance has stuck fast, not helped by me dipping into it to bail me out here and there.

Recently there have been rumours that Abbey are downsizing (or whatever the financial term is) this division, not taking anymore applications for cahoot and want the existing account holders to apply to Abbey (all rumours though). So I need to shift this loan, the very nature of it's flexibility makes it increasingly hard to pay off. I'm not in a position to apply for 0% cards, or loans at reasonable rates. However my own bank called me in for a financial review this week, and the long and short of it is they have taken the loan on at 8% ! Awesome !

By the way this is not the 'Just Maybe' good news I reported earlier this week, you'll have to come back for that......

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
