    Hi Everyone,

    I have made a payment of £376.51 towards my tax credits. :j I only have about 4 more payments and this dratted tax credits debt will be gone forever! Loads more to pay off where that came from though!

    Total paid £7019.30 which puts my percentage at about 40%.

    Well done everyone on all the overpayments, and thank you Dragon for the updates. :D

    Thanks misswissy and yes really close to 40% paid now (39.72%) so go you (and yay to Tax Credits being nearly paid off!)

    Now that its at the correct amount I will post my amounts every payday - which is this Thursday - yay

    Thanks and sorry for being a pest!!! :o

    Hey all,

    Well I am getting there, I'm paying £724.99 this month - another week til payments come off but want to declare it now. My new amount paid is £7,323.45, which leaves me with £1125.01 of debt, which I'm (fingers crossed) hoping to pay off next month (along with some savings). Challenger No. 37 please Dragon.

    Hi everyone, I've finally managed to get rid of the extra we put on the cards at the end of last year so I've managed to take a tiny amount off our total this month.

    Total paid off is now £2637.13 (number 40)

    DH has a small inheritance coming his way soon hoping to make some big payments off the cards within the next couple of months, I am desperate to bring our debt free date closer! xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
  • No. 93 reporting a payment of £111.49 for this month. Hope I can pay more off on Monday (pay day)!

    hi all,

    slow and steady, my debts on a lifetime balance so no real benefit in killing myself to pay it off quicker and to be honest with the wedding I couldn't if I tried!

    £102 paid off for me today:p

    It's great to see everyone still comitted and going great guns - well done. I've not been around lately computer decided it had logged on for the last time just before Christmas but finally up and running on my shiny new machine - and without adding to my debt. I'm off to check my totals and update soon.

    Hope x
