  • I finally got to grips with a few things last year and turned thoughts into actions.

    Sold my car to a car dealer for £10,750 which amazingly cleared my outsanding finance of £12,500 because i didnt have to pay all the nasty interest. Replaced it with a cheap old runabout instead.

    £375 PPI refund from an HSBC Credit Card and £1000 paid off my Virgin Credit Card.

    I'm delighted to have £13,875 less debt going into 2013 and the inspiration of this website and forum is a massive part of it.

    Just the £4862 left on Virgin card and a last payment in February 2013 of £259 on an HSBC loan.

    If i work hard at it and stay focused this could be the debt free year.........:)
