Debt Free in 2009 support thread

ElizabethJH

Hey - I'd like to join!

I'm hoping to be debt free by September 2009 of £6022.91 debt

My first aim is May 09 to be clear of CC's - £3572.91.

I'm hoping to do this with less spending and earning more... however I've also put in a PI claim which I'm hoping some money back from, My bank charges have been waiting for aagggggeeeesssss... but fingers crossed something comes of that in the new year

Also sent of to try and reclaim my charges from my Abbey Card - once I've attacked that then I'll be doing the same with the rest of them as well... one a month though as there's the £10 charge for getting all the details..

Anyhow hope 2009 is everyone's year and that we find lots of ways to get our debt down much faster

Have added you Elizabeth and determinedtodothis - put you down as the figure in your sig - let me know if this isn't right.

So far over £180K of debt to shift between us - but since we have almost cleared £1K in a few days I am sure we will do it!

Wowza! when you add it all up it certainly is a heck of a lot! But I reckon we can all do it!

Just had some expenses clear as well so following Dex's example have paid off a card - £400 down!

Well done Mizmir!!:D

Feels good doesn't it!!!

I can't believe my credit card is nearly the same as my next balance!!! am now determined to clear them both by my mortgage renewal so I will only have the one credit card left!!

Although my next challenge will be to save 9,000 as I want to have a good chunk in the bank should something bad happen! :rolleyes:

Really looking forward to all my debt being done so then I can really see how much money I have each month!:j

Wow, some big payments already.

£6.37 for me today - tiny compared to some of you but every little helps!

your right every little does help - don't worry my payments will not be that large too often! sadly
