Success with Credit Card bill!!!!

YAY!!! It took me about 15 minutes of calling various numbers to track down one of my credit cards as the original bill I had no longer has the account...I'd paid a little on the account earlier this summer but lost touch when we moved.

I'm paying a little more than I'd really wanted to pay on this bill, but instead of 8 months it'll only take me 6 months to pay it off and they agreed to stop charging interest on it because I said I'd rather pay it in full than take a settlement on it (which I know will look better on my credit report). So instead of 11% interest, I have NONE as of the 15th of this month when I make my first payment!!!

YAY!!!!

Doing a super happy dance for you.

BTW--excellent persistence. CC companies hate it when we are that persistent. They'd rather give us what we want if we kee[ bugging them.
