NEW - pay off £20,000 (ish) by Christmas 2009

Ok, so all challengers are (hopefully) added to the list - we have 140 taking part with a total target of over £2.1 million :j

How fab would it be to have paid off over £2 million of debt just on one challenge?!

Well done to everyone making payments through a very difficult month - especially those facing redundancy or other uncertainties.

Ive paid £1035.05 in december - only minimum paymentsas its xmas, but going to try and pay extra in January, even if its small amounts.

Hope you all had a good Xmas!

hypno06

well done guys - even minimum payments during December is positive!

Once I have had a reasonable number of "updates" I will let you know what the combined total is so far......:D

I've just set up my payments for Jan but I'll include them here to give the numbers a boost! For the first time in AGES my barclaycard has just gone under the £1,000 mark - am trying to pay it off before March, which is when the 0% ends. That particular debt has been marched from 0% to 0% for years so I will be thrilled when it finally goes...

So, my total off for December: £550.60

Not the £800 odd I need to pay to hit my target, but not bad considering it's christmas and we managed to survive without putting anything on credit cards.

plenty of time, Sarah, to catch up! And getting through December without increasing the credit card debt is an achievement in itself!

£1600 for me please Have been doing the free scratch cards and over Christmas I thought I'd used the free money to play a few games of something else and won £1000!

hypno06

wow! That is excellent news novagirl - I would never have been that lucky and would just have lost the lot!

Good for you - spreadsheet duly updated!

I have paid 15.00 off MBNA today - every little helps!

Hypno - I am making a payment a day to MBNA but that is it for the December so my total for December is

£525.00

Thank you for the spreadsheet xx

Thats about half of where I need to be to get the 15k target so will have to get cracking in January to catch back up (in fairness I knew I would only be making minimum payments in December so cant really complain!) x x
