    HI everyone,

    Just popped on to confess all as hopefully this will give my a kick up the bum!!
    I have had a bad month on the payments front and although paid all my bills have not made a dent on the debts.

    Payday is friday so will be making big dents from then but need to confess that interest has been added to 2 of my debts so my total has gone up.

    Signature updated and from friday will be knocking it down but wanted to come clean. Still hoping to be debt free this year although i feel July may be a bit of a struggle (but i am still aiming for July)

    Thanks for all support on here and i will be about a lot more from now on.

    For most of us the debts go up and down a bit - as long as the long term trend is down you are heading in the right direction - good luck next month with the repayments.

    Hi all, I want to be debt free by the end of December 2009!

    My debts are as follows:

    Barclaycard (0% for the next 6 months) £1400
    Barclays overdraft £1500
    Bank of Scotland Business overdraft £5500
    Companies I owe money to £200

    Total = £8600

    I need to be paying off an average of almost £800 per month- eek! Wish me luck everybody!!!

    Oh and P.S. since september 2008 I have got my debts down from almost £11k so debt free by the end of 2009 isn't altogether unrealistic!!!
  • Hi John, welcome to the group and good luck! This thread really motivates me - very glad I found it!

    Could you knock another £115.89 off the total please? Thanks!
