Hi,
Just wanted to pop in as i have just had some really good news which means i will definately be debt free this year!
My biggest creditor have agreed to a F&F settlement figure of £1,835 so next week my debt will nearly half.
Outstanding was £6,119.
Will update once its paid but just wanted to tell someone.
Great news! :TMake sure you pop back once it's paid so I can add it to the total.Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
I hope to start debt busting again on Monday - a lot depends on whether or not we get a payment that is due by close of play tomorrowDo not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Hi all
well done lilian1977 on clearing your debt:T
broken hearted I have nearly paid off half of my debt just waiting for dd to clear on the 18th of this month then i will be over the half way mark. I think it may be touch and go whether I clear all my debt by 2009 but at least i will be facing 2010 with less than 500 worth of debt. I would be happy with that.Mortgage free 25/9/2019 8years and 7 months early 😁😁😁0 -
I'm just over half way through but things keep cropping up to pay. Will be happy if I only have Barclaycard left with a balance of less than £1,000.Barclaycard 3800

Hi Mizmir,
I'm glad that I have read this thread I'm also doing my best to completely pay all the debts and hopefully by August or September 2009 I'm free from debts and can save a lot because we are planning to purchase our own house.
