    Hi folks.
    During March, I repaid £983.57 .
    That's now 16.6747167%

    You are doing so well; my back of a fag packet calculations tells me we ought to be around the 16% mark by now, so you're bang on the money. :T
    Mortgage
    Start January 2017: $268,012
    Latest balance $266,734
    Reduction: $1,278.45

    Not all of that was straight debt repayment in an earlier month. However, I should be able to manage something like 1.2% - 1.8% per month over the coming couple of years. I don't expect to reach my £60k target and never have expected to. I just set myself a very stiff target in the hope it would motivate me to do better than I otherwise would have.

    Haven't updated for some time but since my last payment I have paid another £394.09. Total paid to date is £2062.82.
    Hoping to make a few extra payments this month to bring my total down

    Hello to all :D Hope all debt busting going well for everybody :T
    I'm just adding the rest of my April payments please Dragon
    Please add £222.19 to my total which I think means I've now got rid of 25.8%
    I'd love it to be more of course but it's a good boost getting past the 25% mark :j
    Hope you're feeling a bit better

    Sorry I havent updated for a while have been having a few dramas and health issues but total paid so far this year is £1650 not where I would like to be but better than nothing. I am hoping when I have my operation beginning of June I will have some recovery time to get on ebay and get really back into the challenge.

    Glad to see everyone is doing so well

    Sorry I've not posted on this thread for a while, I've had to pay off some of my non credit card debt by transferring it onto one of my cards. Trying to look at the positives it's on a very low interest rate for 12 months.

    Rather than affecting my paid percentage Dragon could you amend my starting figure to £23,245.73 paid back is £782.07 % paid is 3.36

    Really sorry guys I know it will affect our current percentage paid figure, I aim to make higher payments for the next few months. Looking at it realistically now it's unlickly that all of my debts will be paid by 2012 though I will make every effort and who knows I may be able to catch up and clear all if not most of it by 2012.
    Nearly debt free

    Hi everyone, haven't been around for a while - well done to everyone for every payment made, every little helps!!
    I feel like I'm going backwards, have only paid off £197.30 since I last updated so my total owing is now £14824.82 - and my snowball DFD is now January 2013!!! :eek::eek::eek:
    I'm the tired one trailing at the back of the marathon at the minute, hopefully should get my second wind soon and catch up!! Hugs to anyone who needs one, am going to work out my budgets now and see where I can tighten things up a bit xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
