This is my first post and I would like to say Thanks to everyone on here for giving me the push I needed to sort out my debts. I have been reading with interest for a while but now it is time to get going and do something about it.

Natwest Loan & Overdraft £18,500
negotiating a repayment plan with no extra interest for these
Arrears on Mortgage/Loan&HP:
[strike]£6000.00/£3896.10/£4274.10[/strike]
negotiated with all 3 companies to pay by monthly installments with no extra charges.
currently £2500.00/£3000.00/£2722.48 outstanding
Nov07 to Feb08 £500.00 to be paid off each debt each month
Mar08 - Final Payments made for Mortgage & HP & £500.00 remaining on loan
Apr08 - All Cleared
Overdraft
[strike]£2,000[/strike]

Proud to be dealing with my debts :T

Hi emmajay, and welcome.
See http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=107280 to see about an SOA.
You don't have to share one with everybody, but some do find it helpful to let others look it over and perhaps point out some ideas you may have missed.
Well done on starting the DFW journey.0 -

There is a "sticky" thread at the start of the DFW board which explains.

Welcome! The only thing I can add to what has been said so far is to be honest with yourself! When writing your SOA, whether you put it on here or not, it is easy to miss off things that you think are not important. Remember that everything costs money, so even if it is only a small amount, like the cost of a newspaper or packet of polos, it is still being spent so therefore must be included.
The more you acknowledge, the easier it will be (after the initial shock!).
Everyone here has some experience of what you are going through so you are in good company and we are all happy to help.
Good luck.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0
