2 down, 1 to go...

Only something small, but wanted to share, seeing as I always read everyone else's results...

After what feels like 5 years, I have finally paid off in full my MINT card (£1500) and my Nationwide overdraft (£1700). I have paid off the MINT card before, but made the mistake of using it again.

I've now got 1 card to go, MBNA (£1100) due to finish in June. Then I'm debt free :j

This journey has shown me how to manage cards and general finances and now I need to work on building my credit score back up

Good luck to everyone else on the debt-free journey
Debt @ January 2010 :: £5,500
July 2011 £0.00 :)
Debt Free as of 1st July

    Hi Nero51,

    Well done on getting rid of the debts and good luck on the last one. I hope your success helps other MSErs see light at the end of the tunnel and they continue on their debtfree journey. I also hope to be debt free by the end of the year.

    Good luck
