Debt Free Number reunion

Before i goto bed i wanted to try something out

Lots of people have a NCFC number (into the 200's if not 300's by now). I was wondering

1)how many people who have one of these numbers still actually frequent the boards.

2) How many people are in a better/worse/same situation

3) How many people have fallen of the 'wagon' so as to say

4) What the number means to them?

please put down ur infomation below and anything else you feel is relevant

Will

Ps i have no number as NCFC should really stand for Norwich City Football Club so i took umbridge and no no please don't slate me....at least wait till we get beat by the Giants known as Tamworth!
SShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • I haven't got a number but I've always been jealous of those that do have nice shiny numbers.

    But I'm scared to apply for one in case I get rejected because of my credit score...:confused:

    I have a number. I still come on here. In theory I'll be better off soon - problem is a)I'm STILL in the bank charges hole and b)The flipping council still haven't sorted out my housing benefit - its been four months!

    So.... I'm expecting to find out I've paid a lot off my rent arreers - even if my arreers have been going UP as far as they're concerned for ages.

    Number 150 reporting present and correct!

    In a much better better position, although still with a long way to go. Reporting progress in my diary.
  • I have a DFW number... does that count? :D In answer to the questions..

    1)how many people who have one of these numbers still actually frequent the boards. Well I'm here!

    2) How many people are in a better/worse/same situation
    Better for having paid off 4 debts and on our way to paying off the 5th. We're also better off for cutting down our outgoings every month.
    3) How many people have fallen of the 'wagon' so as to say
    We're still on the wagon but did have a tough december as work messed up my maternity pay which means that we had to use our debt savings to get through the month.

    4) What the number means to them?
    It means that we're taking control of our debts and doing everything in our power to get rid of them!
