    #67. MrGreen here for my final update. I'd like to say a big thank you to The Dragon :T for starting this challenge, I knew I wouldn't have paid off all of my credit cards by now but the Challenge (and extra shifts at work) has helped me stay focused and motivated me to clear my balances many months earlier.

    Starting amount - £23,245.73
    Left to pay £3,451.17

    Paid off over the challenge - £19,794.56

    I may see you guys in the Glasgow challenge, Good luck to everyone.

    Remember where there's a will there's a way!

    Hey Dragon, I am thinking the para olympics are not over yet and I have just paid of another £9000 on my debts, thanks HSBC for my PPI.

    Can you take it off for me it will get me to within around £2000 of my final amount. That is amazing for me. Well done to all on here you are all winners.

    No 30 reporting...sorry for delay...I didnt pay all but got close....managed to pay about 30000...OMG what I could have done with that money!!

    Take care all and yes we are all winners!!
  • No 86 reporting in.......

    Sorry I haven't updated for such a long time, it's because I have been working hard at my total! The good news is I have paid every single last penny of my debt off!! :j:j:j

    The bad news is that this was only possible as I got made redundant :(

    But worse things happen! I can honestly say I've never been happier!!
