One debt gone

Ok i have just received my monthly cccs statement and one debt says £0. Yay!!!! This was largely due to three PPI claims which all went on this debt being out largest. But it feels so good to finally see a debt paid off after 4 years on a dmp. Only 8 more debts to go including one which will also be gone in 3 months. This really does feel like i am nearing the end. :j:j:T:D

    That's great news! And I can imagine it's a huge incentive to carry on plodding away at those debts! Well done :)

    Well done.

    And once you have two debts cleared, the others will start to roll as well.

    Well done Jules :T

    We are desperate to clear the first one of our debts and are making extra payments every day towards it. We can't wait to see that magic zero on the CCCS statement :j
