True - but I think that the original question about SSIA like schemes is a bit irrelevant in the greater scheme of things. I will merge the two threads anyway.CCOVICH said:Maybe this thread should be split, or merged with this one ?
We've 'kinda' strayed off the original topic
"Is there any other SSIA type products coming?"
CCOVICH said:Maybe we should just call it "Scully's Thread"?
If you want to shave a few more quid off your monthly outgoings, you might also consider cutting the Chorus subscription altogether. First check out the small print in your T&Cs as to who exactly "owns" the satellite dish and other paraphernalia, after all these years. It may well be that it still "belongs" to Chorus and they'll (eventually!) send a bod out to remove it all. But in the meantime you can pick up the necessary replacement hardware very cheaply on the second-hand market and then pick up all the BBC channels (1,2,3 and 4) plus a whole host of other channels (some crap, others good) for nowt. And — pending future developments — you should be able to get all the Irish channels on an old-fashioned analogue aerial. If you really miss ITV and Channel 4, you could get someone in the UK to order, activate and forward on an old Sky FTV card. See the "satellite" forum on Boards.ie for further details. Thereafter, your only recurring outlay is the price of the annual Tee-vee licence (of which I'll say nothing here!scully said:Chorus digital will be down graded to just cable.

As for your various debts. Dig out the paper work or ring the people you got the loans from and ask them for:
The APR (Annual Percent Rate)
The Expected Finish Date (For the loan. Doesn't apply to the overdraft).
Check if you're paying payment protection on the loan, you might be. You probably don't need it. You could save a bit by cancelling that.

You mean they "need" it in writing... Do it, and fast! Scrap what I said earlier about the digital satellite options, since you probably don't have control over that...scully said:but i need it in writing.
