Hi All,
I have been browsing this forum over the past week - and feel it's about time I face up to things, and create one for myself. I'm hoping like others here, I manage to get into this and conquer my debts once and for all!
I find that towards the end of each month, when I have no money to pay credit cards etc. I have all these fantastic ideas of not going out, or over spending the following month and really making an effort to pay off some debt. I get paid, and those ideas go out the window, and things never, ever get paid. I tell myself that my debts aren't too high, and I will pay them off eventually...I get the feeling eventually will never come, unless I take the first step...so here I am.
My current debts look something like:
£260 Barclay Card
£250 Store Card
£500 Capital One
£1000 Overdraft
I do have a loan, but think I would rather concentrate on the four areas above, and then tackle the loan separately.
In theory it shouldn't take me a massive amount of time to pay the above debts off, as long as I manage to stick with it for a few months. Lets hope I can put theory into practice, just for once!
