    I keep a planner on my computer so chart my loans I like how as one gets paid off the slope goes lower down and everytime I have to edit it I smile =D

    We've had a spot of bother but I am reluctant to give in to the PDL's!
    I believe with my partner's help we will battle through until Pay Day but I am also getting in touch with CAB to get some sound advice from them!
    Hope I get the response I need x

  • Hello and very well done on your plan not to renew.

    I have 3, I have rolled one over till next month. The other two I will let collect full amounts tomorrow, 1 I will not renew but one I will go as long as possible without renewing and then renew for very least amount I can. So that one down for me too this month never to be renewed again.

    I wish you buckets full of luck for this month and look forward to your updates

    :)

    Luckily the payment plan option loans I have come out around the time I get paid so it gives me a better understanding now of what I have paid off and what I have left to work with.
