Debt Free Job 1:
Tackle: Catalogues £3000
What Needs Done:- Cancel all catalogues except the one. Keep the one that allows me to earn some money.
- Schedule realistic payments for each of the catalogues
- Submit a payment to each catalogue (Note to self: Even a small amount will help)
- Review balance on the accounts
Work Completed on This Job:
I have binned the catalogues in order to take away the temptation as can't close the accounts until they have been paid.
I have scheduled realistic payments however unfortunately this has revealed that I will need to extend my debt free date. New debt free date is end of May 2011.
I have paid £10 off one catalogue and £30 off another
New Balances:
catalogue 1 £ [STRIKE]122.00[/STRIKE] £112
catalogue 2 £ [STRIKE]2278[/STRIKE] £2248
catalogue 3 £ 500
catalogue 4 £ 100 - This is the one that I am keepingAiming to get Debt Free.0 -
Hi, thought I should confess, I have been sneaking around early reading your diary. Good luck, you have a challenge there, but your on the right path. I will be back, if I find you with your nose in those catalogues there will be trouble missy
Sew it, knit it, glue it, reuse it , don't buy it0 -
