Hi Everyone,
I've been following this thread for a while but think it's time I actually become accountable and tackle my debt!
Total debt is £7217.47, so 1% is £73.00.
Virgin Credit Card £1051.46
Barclay Card £6166.01
I've moved back in with my parents and have recently got a pay rise so I should be able to be quite aggressive!0 -
