Hope this "finally" settles it

Philippines
June 1, 2016 5:54pm CST
I went to the bank yesterday and paid it. Well, I'm glad she fell to their threat of resetting it back to two hundred thousand bucks with interest, that I finally get to pay the last amount. We've been paying for this for almost half a decade, and I seriously thought it will never end. But thanks to the compassion of the legal services it was lowered to 80k from 200k. If they accept the payment, and I would happy to say that we've put an end to our long years of credit card debt! We still owe money from the hardware for the materials we made for the commercial space. But that's easy now once we settled that we're finally going to be DEBT FREE

It feels good to be debt free. Actually, I hate credit cards but there were really instances that cannot be avoided like booking for a flight in which having a credit card will always come in handy. Before I use my credit card, I make sure I already have a cash on hand to pay for it.

@Letranknight2015 I'll never get a credit card. I think I'll be buried in debt if I get one.

@flapiz That is very true, the interest might even be higher over there? Im glad i didn't have credit card, despite of the temptations.

There was one time I received a message about getting a credit card, but they will only allow registration if you had another credit card. unfortunately, I've only given a debit card lol i gave in but they kinda respond that i was not qualified to have one @ridingbet you don't have credit cards?

@ridingbet I used to have a land bank credit card from my work at the call center. my first time I used an atm, it ate my card that's when i realized you can't keep the card on the ATM for a while, you have to get it right away.

@Letranknight2015 i was offered by a bank here, together with 5 of my colleagues but i don't think it is appropriate for me. i have a debit card, but i don't use it as well. i am more into paying in cash than cards. here is my post about the debit card
This morning, my son accompanied me to get my new ATM card from a bank. This is the bank I mentioned in passing, in one of my discussions. We both left home at...

@Letranknight2015 At least now it's over . Just keep the receipt or the bill for future reference , because they might ask payment again .

Sometime three years ago she cancelled it and the amount went to 200k but the law firm took a pity on her and lowered to its original credit limit which was 80k @cacay1
