    What an amazing achievement! Can you share your story as to how you managed to pay it off?

    My husband and I started off owing £60,000 in October 2011. We are in a debt arrangement scheme Scotland (DAS). Our debt free date is October 2014 and it cannot come quick enough!

    We have really struggled to make our payments of £1500+ per month but I know it will be worth it. If you have any advice please share!

    Thank you
