    wohoooooooo min payment come out for my loan so my total paid of my debt upto todays date is £237.77!

    PS Mizmar: is this how you want us to update you, with the toal paid off, or do you need to know how much i paid off this time?

    :beer:

    How much since last update - otherwise I will end up double counting. Basically I am just keeping a running total of everyone's payments so can't go back and check what I have recorded for you.

    Thanks

    Celebrate! Oh yes!!! Not sure how yet - but you'll hear the cheering!

    And of course we are going to have a virtual party on here everytime someone becomes debt free - so hopefully that'll be a fair few parties!

    Hello All

    Feeling bit happier now as I managed to transfer a chunk of MBNA debt to Tesco 7.9% for life of balance and no fee.
    Making getting rid of EVIL MBNA my main mission now and probably just make minimums on the rest. I was trying to get rid of the couple with little balances on first just to get rid of them but just spoke to MBNA and they are now charging me 34% APR due to going over my limit........it was there charge that put me over limit!!!:mad:

    (must stay calm or head will explode!!)

    So signature updated and off to do some sums.

    Hope eevryone else is having a more MSE day than I am x x x

    Well done on the transfer - if that takes you back down does that reduce the interest rate or is it that they have put you on a standard rate? They are swines certainly.

    Thanks!
