Folks, for anyone in a secure position and putting off cancelling their PPI - please look at Martin's article here again and see if it might be an option to suit your circumstances

In two phone calls I have just wiped £1790 from my debt to Egg, and have wiped £65 a month in payments to my Cahoot loan, meaning that all that money is now going to repay my debt faster... I will pay an extra £850 of the balance this year alone by having done it!
I started this debt free journey in £33k worth of trouble... I'm delighted to say that I'm now over half way there - its moments like this that make it all worth it... HANG IN THERE!
