Hi folks, not sure if anyone on here remembers me but I was a regular poster on here a while back- unfortunately life took a few twists an turns hence no entry in 'my life on the happy farm' diary for ages (but that is another story) .

Anyhow I am alive, well and best of all - today I beame DEBT FREE!!!! I cant tell you how good that feels.

Original debt was over £38,000 - now its £0 :T

If I can do it - you all can

    You should stick around here to offer advice as you're a 'been there: done that' person. Always good to hear from the debt free's :)

    How did you pay 24k of in 1 year then out of interest?
    Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked

    Well I have to be honest - it wasnt a stroke of financial genius, I sold my house (completed last Friday) and paid off my debts.....

    Basically to cut a long story short, my marraige broke down and in november I left the marital home and filed for divorce. As part of the financial settlement the house had to be sold and I used my share of the proceeds to clear my debts. I wont be technically debt free for long though, because I am going to need a mortgage in the not to distant......feeling the need to re-start my diary, to explain fully :cool:
