    After a quick calculation, can you please modify my target? I still need to pay off £7532.70 to be debt free so that's added to my current balance:

    2. kavics17 - £16,466.52/£24,000

    Yep, no problem. :)

    Yuck . Nasty shock today - found out my Clubcard has started charging me interest - thought I had a couple of months left. Not good, will have to transfer asap (luckily I have some good current offers from existing cards). can't find my original t&cs either..
