    3% would take forever to pay off. On the balance its at now making 5% payments at 16.9% apr, it would take 63 months to clear £438....

    no wonder fat cats can get the big bonuses, there must be millions out there turning a blind eye to how bad there debt is, the intrest earned by just rbs must be out of this world.

    Thats the whole point of 3% rictus that it does take people forever to pay it off.

    Good if you are needing to hold onto the pennies short term though.

  • Hi Tracieann, never to late to start debt bashing. Just let Pap know your target - bright bold text would be easier for her to pick out.

    Good luck, Pen.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • I had a massive re-think on the finances last night and decided to knock another chunk off the debt. (Sorry Pap, this is going to get messy now).

    First payment: £150 - which has now cleared my £500 target.

    Pap, can you set me a second target of £1000 please - this will be both debt and a bit of savings.

    Second payment: £210 - leaving me £790 remaining from the second target.

    Hiya I like to join in please I'll post later when I've found out my smallest debt:)

    _wave__by_elicoronel16.gif Welcome Tracie, as Pen says never too late to join. Just come back when you are ready and post the amount you wish to pay off. I will then add you/it to the first post :T Each time you then pay off anything put it in big bold colours so I can see it :D
