    My chosen debt is the BarclayCard which has a current balance of £436.11
    Total Debt - £30,814.90 at 12/2/2016
    Total Paid £993.24 = 3.22% at 29/04/2016
    2 debts of 20 paid off
  • Yes please!

    My target, which I will probably clear over this and challenge 23 (there will be a 23rd won't there Amara?) is £1,000.

    Good luck everyone!

    I managed to complete Chapter 21 at 140% of my goal, so I definitely want to do this again!

    I've updated my signature. My target this round is £1672.50, a debt owed to my Grandparents which helped us get a deposit down for our new tenancy.

    I hope to get this fully paid off by mid-May. Let's see. If I complete this target I'll add another one and try to do 2 vs 100.

    Hi Amara

    I really enjoyed the last challenge and would like to join this one. I have one little request if possible. I have been following the Dave Ramsey baby steps and I'm still on stage one, funding a £1000 emergency fund. I have been on this site for so many years but its the main area I have neglected. I feel that this is another debt, a debt to myself. I have challenged myself to get this sorted by the end of may.

    So while still paying on my normal debts I would like to make this my challenge to pay off this debt to myself and then move on to another.

    I need to pay £832.

    Thanks Amara
