    Loan consolidations are usually a bad idea as you can all too easily start spending on the CC again and end up in twice as much debt. Best thing to do is post an SOA, see SouthernScouser's sticky post at the top of the board. There'll be loads of people willing to help you with ideas to how get the debt paid off quicker.
    Debt as at 12th July 2006 - £61,345 :eek: :eek: :eek:
    Debt free 21st Oct 2011.

    All thanks to :money:
