I'm now debt free - Thanks Money Savings Expert.

OK, as of friday, I settled the last unfightable case (at a nice 70% reduction ;) ) and have now finally dealt with every single debt. I am now debt free. I even have savings:rotfl: I remember back in 2007 when I thought that would never be the case...

So thanks, money saving expert, and all the people on this board, I owe ya. I've got the NSD habit though, so I won't buy you a pint, you'll have to make do with turbo cider :)

    Wow tomterm8. :)

    That is fabulous news.

    I had got myself in a big mess a few years ago, so I know how you feel.

    I dealt with mine a bit differently, but the sense of relief must be similar.

    Good luck. :D
