    Please can I have a number

    This year I WILL pay off £4395.56

    This is credit card 2 and an old defaulted loan. This is half of what I cleared in 2013 so I should be able to clear this easily, I then need to sort a mortgage out before moving onto the car loan for 2015.

    Never thought debt busting could be so exciting!!

    Could I be added please....my second challenge in as many days. I've done really well over the last few months, but I would love to kill the credit card in 2014 as well as saving a deposit for a house. Credit card stands at £5000 as of today
    I will escape the big bog that is my debt!
