    Amount of debt as at 16/07/2006, the day after payday.
    BLS collections £3112.81 (£77 per month) DFD December 2009.
    BLS collections £1036.02 (£47.10 per month) DFD May 2008.
    Wescot £2231.50 (£61 per month) DFD August 2009.
    Blair, Oliver & Scott £2442.52 (£85 per month) DFD December 2008.
    BoS credit card current balance £9592.13 DFD ???????
    Black Horse loan £85 per month (Not defaulted) DFD June 2011.
    Balance inc. interest is £5100.

    Total debt is £23,514.98.
    DFD somewhere between May 2008 & June 2011, depending on how much I
    transfer onto other debts as & when the earlier ones finish.
    EDIT. Sorry folks, I left out my biggest pain, a loan from Nat West under my wife's name. This is £330 a month. Current balance inc. interest is £7,260. DFD May 2008. Therefore my total debt @ 16/07/2006 is £30,774.98.
    I'll have to revise my total DFD because my friends at the CSA have just reassessed me & taken into account all the overtime I was working to try & pay off the debts. Sometimes you do wonder why you bother, it would have been a lot easier to go bankrupt years ago & I would have been free by now.
    Donedoingdebt Lightbulb moment January 2000. Debt at highest approx £102,000. Debt now (October 2009 - absolutely fork all!!!):beer:
