    I will have paid off £6,081 this year via my DMP with the CCCS.

    So that makes the grand total (from post #32 plus mine) =

    £149,662
    Debt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
    Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.

    Dealt with my debt through a Step Change
    (CCCS) DMP.

  • +Maybe like myself others are waiting for their final payments of the year to go out. Mine goes out on the 29th.
    19th March 2007 LBM£5,969.63 1st January 2018 £5960.18, 1st January 2019 £11,032.0018th August 2023 £12,435.00, Student Loan £22244.00 From 2009-12Challenges: To learn to stop spending..
  • Although our debt is much higher this year than last, due to taking another loan before we found MSE ! and more put on credit cards early in the year, we have cleared £6538.53 of our debt this year, mostly since our LBM in August.

    If we stay on target with the level of overpayments we've been making since August, we should've paid off another £9000 by this time next year; cleared the last credit card and started to overpay on one loan :j
