    Hi vicplum Best of luck on paying off your debts!

    I had to add the car insurance premium to my credit card yesterday. I will have to concentrate on paying it off first to avoid paying interest. It will, inevitably, slow down my other repayments.

    I have paid £100 off it today so it is now £786!
    business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

    Hi all

    March direct debits have gone :T I've paid £2000 towards my challenge which is 16.6%.
    Don't expect to make too many overpayments this month or next as car insurance, MOT are due and my boiler is on it's last legs.

    Slowly but surely getting there.

    Good work everyone
