I'm Debt Free!! YAY!!!

Hi All,

I promise I am not gloating but as of yesterday I am debt free!!

18 months ago I went to payplan as I had run up debts of £12500 whilst a single Mum. Stupid, I know but there's hindsight for you.

Payplan were great and negotiated with my creditors.

Then December last year I was in a position to make my creditors offers as I came into a nice lump sum.

Yesterday, paylplan finaaly called me for my last payment. YAY!!

They had negotiated for a total of about £7500. I recommend them to everyone!

Keep up the good work everyone - there is ligh at the end of the tunnel!!
