Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2014!

  • From hunting down my statements, my position on Christmas Day appears to be as follows:

    Credit card: £2899.90
    Overdraft: £1905.77

    Therefore, the amount I would like to pay off this year is £4805.67

    As of the 20th February, I will have paid off £728.32 of that debt.

    Another payment tomorrow takes that to £771.85, meaning I'll soon be breaking through the £4,000 total debt barrier!
    DEBT FREE!

    Debt free by Xmas 2014: £3555.67/£4805.67 (73.99%)
    Debt free by Xmas 2015: £1250/£1250 (100.00%)

  • Hi Everyone

    Can I join please? Have been a lurker on here for over 3 years so it's about time I got stuck in!! I've been horrible ill the last couple of weeks with Labrynthitis and been pretty much bed ridden, never felt so ill! Hopefully getting over it now and will be back to work next week.

    Sorry I'm a bit late off the starting blocks on this one but I'd really love to crack our debt by the end of this year. Have had debt for my whole adult life (early forties now....) so it will be an amazing feeling to finally clear it (minus the hefty old mortgage obviously!)

    Thanks x

    Mine was £600, but I had passed my test at 17 and didn't get my car until 21, so apparently had '3 years of no claim driving experience'

    That will be three years of NO driving haha. I had to ring to double check as I hadnt even had an insurance policy to get 'no claims', but they apparently took it on date of passing the test!
