Sub £27k

Just having a break at work and checking my bank account. After payments going out to Creditors today I realise I have gone below £27K.
No fantastic to shout about being in so much Debt but its another barrier down, cant wait until I am below £25K.

Just wanted to get it down in writing and alter my signature to reflect that. Nice start to the month.

    Brilliant news :T

    Another way to look at it is that you've paid off just over 18% of your original debt, which is fantastic!

    It's great to drop into the next £1000 pounds, just think that a little less you owe.

    Congrats

    Thank you guys. I hadnt looked at it percentage wise and 18% is very good, also it is almost £6K. What I could have done with that had I not been in debt.
    I expect to be below £25K by 1st October if I continue paying as I am. Earlier if I can get some ebaying done.
    I am feeling upbeat and will post some more details of the debts and possibly a debt diary. Its good seeing it in writing. Also its great to get positives from all you helpful people so thank you for those.
