Pay off as much as you can in 2011 Challenge!

As I can't overpay loans, every spare bit is going in an account - so £110 gone in today from underspend on food budget and left over fun money (my months go 15th-14th) Taking grand total to £10,019/£13,000. Chuffed to bits we have hit the £10K mark!

Mind if I join this? A bit late I know but I have a credit card that I want to try to get paid off this year. At one point the debt was at £10,600 on this card. I have already paid off £800 as of this month but hopefully more will be paid off as the month continues.

I enjoy a challenge!!

Happy Friday to you all too!!

This month is dragging..... could pay of more but with school holidays need some cash for fun things - cant sit around the house all day

I was going to post an update each month but it seems like ages away so will make an interim update....
602.90 made so far this month making a new total of ooh......£1913.28 / 6000

Right...new motivation kicked in - I get paid next week so I will break through the £2300 mark by the end of the month!!!!

Welcome to the challenge ElmerFudd, it's never too late to join us!

I'll pop you down as £800/£10,600 hope that's ok with you?

Good luck with the debtbusting!

Made a few small overpayments today and managed to round my total off to £400.:j:j

£400/£4000

Hopefully I'll get a few more payments in before the end of the month.

Paid £449.74 to Barclaycard today, taking me to £1887.32/£6000 paid

Also asked to close my account with them, and was told that I 'might' receive letters in the post offering me a reduced interest rate and 0% balance transfer offer in the next few days :j
They also credited my account with £20 to apologise for 'the frustration of my interest rate being too high'!!:T

Well got some money owed to me a bit earlier than expected so another overpayment of £500 off my NRAM loan, wanted to pay more but have to be careful now as housemate is moving out and I can't expect my other half to pick up the £825 per a month difference in costs (I think she will pickup some of it which will help a lot and give me more money to overpay).

No 159. £3131.94/£14,949.81
