I've done it!!

Options
I have my final payout from LTSB Credit Card! I was only expecting about £40.00 as my LTSB credit card balance was £90.00 I would have used the £40.00 to pay off the balance and pay the rest of the shortfall.

Today, I had a payments of £1257.00 for PPI on the credit card!

So I have just cleared that credit card, paid off a catalogue bill of £49.50 and just cleared my final credit card with the balance of £1183.25!

I still have £3000 to date sitting in an ISA account as well!

I have done it, I was in as much as £30k worth of debt, the PPI I had was up to £7k - I used £4k of that to clear the outstanding debt I had!

I predicted to be debt free by February 2013- But I am debt free before Christmas 2012! This is the best pre-Christmas present I could ask for!

I have instructed the companies to close the credit cards as well.
DEBTFREE AND PROUD!!

    Thanks guys!

    It can be done, it just requires alot of cutting back, budgeting, discipline and will power.

    I think it helps if you work in finance as well (which I do!) I work in credit card collections!! :O
