Debt busting Buddy?

How much does everyone owe? thought it might be nice to find people in the same debt pocket as me to support each other - thought it might help if i can see if my debts are coming down as fast as someone else in the same boat

    going alone, we have until the last month just been making min payments on everything but now I've done some rebudgeting we can afford to pay off a bit more each month, I don't want to go down the DMP route as to be honest we do have enough coming in to cover the min so it wouldn't achieve anything for us I don't think

    i am about 22k but would say the amount isnt relevant so much really as its all relative in terms of income, determination etc.

    happy to buddy anyone in debt though. I currently have someone whom i support on a voluntary basis with what i would consider as an extremely low debt (or no debt) but it really worries them and so I am there to help and offer practical support where it is asked of me/needed.

    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • I have £22,000 so am with you all too.

    I have decided to go it alone and am just in the process of changing my bank account and writing the preliminary letters.

    CCCS gave me 5 years 9 months so I am in it for the long haul but am hoping to lower this as I go along....
