    Hey im new,
    Would love to pay of £20,000
    Doubt it will happen by end of year as that is over £2000 a month ;)
    So im going to aim for £9000.
    Fingers crossed I can do it.
    Want a new house next year.

    Hey jdwmfc, welcome to the thread and the site! Good luck with the debtbusting, you can do it! A new house is a great motivation.

    Keep popping in and letting us know how you are getting on, it's great motivation! :)

    my BoS DD for £32.13 came out today making my total £1927.48 / £3500 will hopefully be paying £40 towards the Cap One CC to counteract the interest going on which would technically take me past the £2k mark on the card and we don't want that but need to see how much my hamster is going to cost me at the vets first today lol
    NEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12
    POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78

    Hi,
    Bit late in the year but I would love to join you all please!
    I need to add up my total debt figures (awaiting paper statements as have had head in the sand ) but my aim for this challenge is to completely clear an MBNA credit card with about 4700 left... and make min repayments on other debts. I made a few extra payments this month so will backdate and start from 1st March if thats ok

    I think therefore I will aim for £6000 for the remainder of the year

    Thanks!
