One debt Vs 100 days ~ Take Three

postingalwaysposting · 19 April 2010 at 9:55AM

Hi all

Some of you may know about this challenge, and some may have already participated in the first two parts... So by popular demand this is Part Three :eek: Please see this thread for the original and part two here....

So what’s the 'One debt Vs 100 days' challenge. The idea is that you decide to tackle one debt within the 100days to clear it, or as near as you can clear it. Now this may not be possible if all your debts are really high and you have a low income so take a slice of the debt to clear, i.e. £200 off a £1000 debt. Its totally your choice to which you clear and the amount. Please don’t worry if it will look 'small' its not, its important! Every small amount paid off an individuals debt is one that needs rejoicing.

So once you have decided on a debt and decided you want to be part of this challenge, post your details below and you will be added to this first post. Then each time you pay anything off your debt post back here and let me/us know :DThis could be your regular £5 min payment, a £40 overpayment due to overtime or a 50p PaD... anything no matter how small. I will then keep updating your 'debt' and also adding it to the main debt pot

**However please, please, please still pay your min repayments/your normal payments to all your debts. This is an 'extra' it doesn’t mean all the other debts get forgotten**

To give everyone chance to post and get ready for the challenge it will start Saturday 1st May 2010 and day 100 will be Monday 9th August 2010. don’t worry if you find this thread after the start date I can add you on as we go though, it just means you will not have the full 100days to complete it.

So who is ready to start another simple challenge with great participants who never stop motivating you...

***New for part three***

Due to the fact this challenge is growing in number each time it is run please can you make all your posts more user friendly for me. I asked the forum team if I could share the updating of the first post with other members but its not possible so when you post to say the amount payed of can you please use this format ~

Amount payed ~ Debt now

This means when I update your name on the running list I have to do no calculations except the daily totals one. That way i may be able to keep on top of it much better

Thanks all...

Good luck all and keep on inspiring others while we are all on our debt free journey :A

Yippeeeeeeeeeee!!! I actually said "YESSSS" out loud when I saw your name at the top of my user cp

I would like to pay towards my loan £1000 over the next 100 day challenge. Hopefully more but with a baby on the way in under 8 weeks and budgets changing I shall stick to that for now.

PaP does it make it any easier/harder if I post the ticker like I did on the last thread? I don't mind either way, whatever's easiest for you.

Thank you!

Saz xxx

chocolatebum · 19 April 2010 at 10:14AM

thanks for a new challenge, i started off small last time to ease myself in and i am now going for a biggy

i would like to clear or at least make a dent in our BOS credit card, balance at £1600

thanks again

postingalwaysposting · 19 April 2010 at 10:21AM

Sam, the ticker was fine and I actually liked it. But if you can also post as the first post too otherwise if I miss a day and you update your ticker it changes all throughout the thread

That then confusses me :rotfl:

So I think I had better pledge, within this 100days I aim to clear my debt of £277.23 and also save however I will pledge that when I have cleared the debt

So nice to have an aim now...

Good luck all :beer:

SazM030306 · 19 April 2010 at 10:23AM

Aah yes I see

Great I'll do both then.

Good luck to all indeed

I am aiming to clear my Capital One card which is £1,000. I am going to try and do this from selling competition prizes and freebies. Should be interesting to see if I can manage to clear it this way

.

Thanks for the challenge PaP
