    This question seems to be popping up quite frequently nowadays!!! No offence intended. :D

    Have a look at the following thread;

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=133764

    Last few pages....basically it very very hard and those premium line numbers are the money spinner!!!
    Debt at highest (November 2005) = £35,856

    Debt currently (August 2006) = £20,790
    &More £1,530, Egg £6,800, HSBC £3,760, Egg Loan £8,700

    Interim goal = £23,400 (Target: February 2006, Missed but acheived May 2006)
    2nd Interim Goal = £15,000, Target October 2006
    Debt Free Date = February 2008 BUT I'M GOING TO BE TRYING FOR SOONER!!! :p

    Don't get sucked in - if they had a good thing why would they tell everyone else about it. As already mentioned above, it is the premium rate numbers that make them their money...

    All they are doing is advising you on the law of adverse possession. You'd be better off going to the library and reading an authoritative practitioner's textbook on the subject - that will cost nothing.
