    Its definetly an incentive to get payin off the debts. Im lucky that I have no interest building up as Im on a DMP, the only thing is over half f mine is interest and charges:eek: that Im still paying off 7 years later, still Im getting on with it now with the help of this site and this challenge, and I know I will never be in that boat again!!
