.:: We Went ::.

My other half and I went to our CAB appointment. It went really well. The woman we spoke with was great...she took our details, what we owe and who we owe it too and is on the case. I feel very confident in her. It's a huge weight of my mind. We are just waiting to hear from her and find out what happens next.

.:: Bank Sucks ::.

Went to the bank yesterday. Pointless. The woman was no use at all. All she did was look at the floor, scratch her head and then say 'I don't know what I can do for you'. This was repeated several times. My other half was sitting where she could see the screen and the woman kept opening and closing the same windows. She gave us a number while saying 'I'm not sure I'm giving you the right number'. Then she gave us another number this time she said 'I think that's the right one'. That was a real confidence builder!!!

My other half and I left and went and paid the rent then went to The Citizens Advice Bureau. We have an appointment...woo!!! The woman we spoke to (a volunteer) was so much more helpful, asked more questions and in general seemed to want to help us. The bank woman treated us as if we were taking up her time. Glad we got our C.A.B. appointment.

.:: Money Issues ::.

Got an appointment with the bank on Thursday to see a financial advisor. Was supposed to be on Wednesday but I was asked at work if I could change my day off, I told them that if I could change my appointment then it wouldn't be a problem.

We still can't get any response from the Citizens Advice Bureau so we've made the appointment with the bank. The C.A.B. is a big let down. I don't know what will come out the appointment at the bank...I hope it will stop all the charges coming off my account every month. I have my rent again this month but once more that is only because I took it out my account before it was eaten up by loads of other things that have gone unpaid because of bank charges and the bank credit card that has started to come off right away too.

I pray that when we leave the bank on Thursday we will have a plan in place that will mean my girlfriend and I have money for longer than a day after each of us has been paid!
