Hi all _wave__by_Link3Kokiri.gif

Some of you may know about this challenge, and some may have already participated in the first one... So by popular demand this is Part two :D Please see this thread for the original.

So what’s the 'One debt Vs 100 days' challenge. The idea is that you decide to tackle one debt within the 100days to clear it, or as near as you can clear it. Now this may not be possible if all your debts are really high and you have a low income so take a slice of the debt to clear, i.e. £200 off a £1000 debt. Its totally your choice to which you clear and the amount. Please don’t worry if it will look 'small' its not, its important! Every small amount paid off an individuals debt is one that needs rejoicing.

So once you have decided on a debt and decided you want to be part of this challenge, post your details below and you will be added to this first post. Then each time you pay anything off your debt post back here and let me/us know :DThis could be your regular £5 min payment, a £40 overpayment due to overtime or a 50p PaD... anything no matter how small. I will then keep updating your 'debt' and also adding it to the main debt pot :D

**However please, please, please still pay your min repayments/your normal payments to all your debts. This is an 'extra' it doesn’t mean all the other debts get forgotten**

To give everyone chance to post and get ready for the challenge it will start Friday 8th January 2010 and day 100 will be Sunday 18th April 2010. don’t worry if you find this thread after the start date I can add you on as we go though, it just means you will not have the full 100days to complete it.

So who is ready to start the new year with a simple challenge with great participants who never stop motivating you...

    No problem Rictus, its not about when/how much you pay its having another incentive to pay it off. It sounds weird but until you are in a challenge like this and know there are another 40+ people willing you to get it paid the motivation is overwhelming. I must admit I have been in many challenges over my years on mse/dfw and the support I found on the first 'One debt Vs 100 days challenge' was one I had never experienced before. Good luck, and well done on anything you pay of in the 100days :T

    I guess I should 'pledge' my debts eh. Mine will be the final two debts I have left, one is my 0% argos card thats £120 and my credit card thats £170. So a total of £290 within the 100 days :)

    Hi PAP - please sign me up. I have just £299 left to pay by the end of March when 0% runs out then I'll be debt free at last! Been dying for this challenge to start up again so I can join in.

    Thanks!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Yes please, I have been looking fwd to this challenge starting.. I want to pay off £1100 on my MBNA card - desperately want to get shot of it since they sent me a lovely letter saying they were going to increase my APR from 15.9% to 24% if I wanted to continue spending on it:eek:. Luckily I don't spend on it but I did feel like I was being held to ransom. Anyway, can't wait for the 8th and start to get rid of it.

    PAP - thank-you for starting this challenge:T:T. The last time I did it, it really helped to focus me..
    One debt in 100 days £384/1264(£865 left)

    Ohhh more challengers :j I will add you all to the first post dont worry, sometimes I may be a few hours behind though :o

    brokemedic ~ Thanks, I loved the last one and seeing people pay off more debt than they may not have prior to the challenge is fab. It certainly brings out the mse/dfw community spirit too :D
