So after a bit of a wake up call I have decided to get debt free within a year! After a bit of adding up it would seem I owe £4436, (with £1440 due to be SB by November 2012)

I have agreed to repay one creditor back in 3x £266.34

    Thanks, I do hope so. Even if I haven't posted in a little while due to having an operation on my big toe recently! Ouch.

    I really need to sit and work out exactly who I owe and how much. Think it's about 5k :(

    Current total stands at £3970.13, but I'm sure something is missing. Aiming to be debt free in 8-12 months which should be doable!

    good for you ... have you done the dreaded S.O.A ? how about snowballing? infact all the usual suspect questions .... have you done them ? you dont need to post them, just doing them and knowing where you are and what wee changes etc can be made can make a huge difference to your dfd
