Today, I made the FINAL payment on my CC, after racking up a staggering £3566 of debt. Paid it off 4 months earlier than planned, thanks to a relative who kindly shared some money they had won at Bingo! :j

Lightbulb Moment: May 2014

Debts at highest: £3566

Debt-Free Date: October 2015

Pearls Of Wisdon: Don't ignore the bills, seek help... Stepchange and National Debt Line were my life savers! My motto now is only buy what is essential - I am still learning and still making 'some' mistakes but getting better at saying 'NO' each and every day!

My quick story.
Lightbulb Moment May 2009
Debt at highest £56k (approx eeek)
Final payment made October 26th 2015.


Thanks to Stepchange without them this would not have been possible.

It still feels surreal - best thing I ever did was entering a DMP.

This year I certainly cannot wait until Christmas!! xxx
