    Hi Emily

    Keep going , every little helps, it would be easy not to pay the £5, next month why not try to aim for £6 a massive 20% above this month.

    Of my 6 CC :o on DMP 3 have no interest, 2 have reduced interest and 1 has full interest, doesn't seem to depend on the balance as reduced interest CC have second highest & lowest balances. I even have 2 CC with one company both on DMP with different interest rates ????

    Although I haven't signed up for this challenge,(I'm a lurker) I did manage to pay an extra £50 off my loan this month:D - first extra payment since DMP started so am pleased with myself, if very broke :rotfl:. Good luck for next month

    I haven't been keeping this thread updated, but I've taken advantage of a bonus at work to clear off some more of the card debt. Total paid off is now £2140, so I've got £650 left to find
