Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013
Comments

Can declare for the year, total cleared was £5580 off an amended starting figure as halfway through I decided to fess up about ALL the debts including overdraft! We've knocked about 13% off our starting figure of debt this year, and we're now 26% down on where we were when it was at it's highest, which is better than I'd thought we'd done.
Next year, we want to clear £10K.Long haul supporter #290POAYDBX2014 #043LBM Dec 2011 Debt £51K Debt Nov 2014 £42K0 -

I've arranged to pay the early settlement figure on our joint loan
. This will push me into my overdraft by £250 so it won't be properly gone until that's cleared but it feels good to say the loan's now paid off. The £250 will hopefully be cleared by the end of this challenge as i'm still aiming to have 65% paid off by NYE.
Just the car to go now :j

i wonder if i have forgotten to pay something as i still have 200 quid left! how did that happen???
i am paying off the catalogue #2 on payday (tuesday), then i will be able to declare my total for next year
i think i will focus on three remaining debts, the fourth is catalogue #1 i am not too fussed about. so that is my sofas, my car, and my OUSBA fees. 0 -

Ah well, hopefully they will start paying in the new year

On second thoughts, maybe I won't be claiming overtime in January. We missed out on a key project, which could potentially lead to a few job losses (up to 50)

Ooo, I'm getting quite excited for the new challenge now! I have the spreadsheet ready and raring to go but will wait to get new numbers assigned on the new thread. We will post a link here when it's ready to go - just a few more days!
Everyone that is coming forward, it's worth deciding whether you want to carry forward your existing totals (i.e. I'm currently at £2175/3250) or whether you want to start afresh with a new total (i.e. £0/1075)0
