Hi

Please put me down for £12,000. I'm not sure how achievable it is but it gives me something to aim at.

Morning Hypno!

As of today I owe £15,392 in unsecured debt. Although my target is to pay my debt off by July 2012, I would be sooooooo pleased if I could clear it next year. After posting this, I am going to pay £392 towards my debt, which leaves me £15,000 to aim for by December 2010.

Count me in!

how is everybody doing? reading through we all seem to be rising to the challenge!! have paid off 2.09% this month so far but am raging :mad: at virgin- transferred balance off high rate card to their 0% they have put the account number through wrong (dropped the last 4 digits of the account number rather than the first) so have now got a penalty charge and £753 floating about somewhere and still a bill outstanding, they also didnt set up the direct debit i asked them to and i only found out when i phoned to question the missing balance, think i can feel a complaint letter coming on! once i've phoned them today to see if they have found the missing money.
Am really chuffed with myself as havent used the credit cards at all this christmas, still got quite a bit of shopping to do but am hoping that i'll manage through without resorting to them- that will be the first biggest challenge of my DFW year!
will let you know how i get on with my complaint (dont usually complain as such but its MY money they're wasting and i'm an expert at that i dont need them to do it for me too:money:and i'm sure Martin wiould be right in there if it was him)
