  • Hi Cassidy,
    Which debt are you looking to target??

    I would like to target my 2 non-bt credit cards (£800 and £500) and at least £1,700 to the Barclayloan so £3,000 in total!

    Thanks,

    Happy Easter all x

    Many thanks for running this challenge again Amara, you are a star :)

    Can you put me down for £1000 please.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • Thank you Amara for running the challenge again!

    I would like to pay off the remainder of my virgin card, which currently stands at £597.70 and I am saving for our holiday which will be at Glastonbury Festival :j:jin two months and we need £517.71 for that (spending money, petrol, booze and food to take, and a couple of replacement camping bits). So, my total is:

    Glastonbury Festival and Virgin card - £1115.31

    Hi Amara,

    Great thanks for organising another challenge. I would like to target my Tesco cc at £2,031.86 (I have added the interest for the challenge period to total) and a payment for HMRC taxes of £401 that I found out this weekend that I have under paid by. I also wanted to clear on of my smaller debt of £665 but not sure if I can manage all of this with 3 pay dates. We will see.

    So can you put me down for a grand total of £3,097.86.

    Going to figure out if I can make some extra money to clear the debt a bit faster.

    BB
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.

    Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.

    Ahhhhh, I missed the end of the last challenge! I'd just been thinking it ends 'sometime around easter' and didn't check the actual date.

    I've been slacking lately as I've had lots of unexpected payments to make so haven't had much spare cash. I'd got my Very debt down to £129.62 (out of £696.89) so I failed the challenge :o although I did a lot better than I would have done without this challenge.

    Thanks for doing another thread Amara, can you please sign me up again. I want to finish clearing my Very debt, and will add on the remainder of my Capital One card, which stands at £188.37. So that's £317.99.
  • Hi folks I am back again too. Didn't quite manage to clear my total on Argos card last time so I have £138.86 on that and also £365.73 on my SONY card which I added recently :o. Total of £504.59. Thanks Amara

    Can you please add me I have a Lloyds card that needs to go £5365 and I need some motivation to clear it, I will need to find quite a bit of extra cash to clear this so let the declutter begin.

    I would like to clear £3385.52 by 3rd august. It's going to be a bit of a challenge but I think I can do it.

    Gosh - tomorrow has come around quick hasn't it.

    Right, for me,

    £1500 from the mortgage
    £500 towards my summer hols and paying off a centre parcs hol i booked for September. I need to pay for it on the 1st of July so i want to earn the money first.

    We had lots of lucky breaks last time which meant that i achieved this, and more, and i am trying to have the faith that i will be able to keep doing it, but i am also aware that prices are going up, and it is getting harder. I will keep the faith. :D Things will go my way.


    Thanks amara for starting us off again. :D:T
