I'm so pleased to see so many people are claering their debts and doing it so fast. It's a credit to you all and shows what you can achieve with a bit of focus and determination.
I'm around 2/3weeks away from clearing an overdraft ive had for the best of 12 years. Then I will clear my one of my cc and I will be on the home straight with one cc, one loan and one overdraft left.
Keep up the good fight debt destroyers
