Pay off as much as you can in 2011 Challenge!

sarahs999

I had a sneaky look yesterday Jwil (slow day at work!) and we need to pay off another £39k to get to our monthly target! Hopefully lots of people will get paid in the next week and will be able to post more payoffs...

Also noticed as I was totting up that there are quite a few people who haven't updated at all this challenge. Do you think they're still taking part? Hypno is one of them - she ran the original thread so I'd be surprised if she didn't have something good to report.

I shall try to make my overpayments by the 28th than though as it's a short month I don't really know when my salary arrives on my bank account

Thanks jwil for all of your hard work roll on the 1st so that we can see all of our hard debtbusting work

This month, I completely cleared the balance on my Cap1 card and aim to clear this balance any time I spend on it. Total paid off credit cards this month is £530.25 meaning that my Challenge Total is now £856.40.

My credit card debt total is now below £10000 so that's one embarrassed face removed from my sig (one face per £1000 cc debt).

Hi all, this month is turning out to be a very expensive one so i've had to step off the over payments for a bit. U'm sure things will turn around in the not to distant future.

In the meantime i will be cheering you all on from the sidelines :T

Car of doom needs new tyre,windows broke and probably least 500quidof work on it to get through next mot.
feel confident will save us money and allow hubby to pay more off his cards.

Feeling quite positive so is hubby for change.

Well done everyone.

Hi

This is an addictive thread - In a positive way of course lol!
After reading through the recent posts I've made another small payment to Egg of £10.39 to round up my outstanding balance, Egg online statement is showing an estimated intrest next month of £7ish less than the month before by making overpayments, better than nothing!

I'm afraid this really needs to be the last payment this month for me as the overdraft not looking too hot at the moment.

17. Lou06 - £536.75/£8,500
