    Received some money back from the registraion costs for my house I bought last year. Only took a year to get the money back :eek:
    Have used this to pay off Bank of mom'n'dad and used the rest to pay off some of my loan, we decided to use savings towards next years tax to pay off the rest of the loan. I haven't counted the savings we used as we now owe our savings pot.
    This now means I have cleared the amount I wanted to this year and more. I have decided to up my target for this year please Mini, updated target is now £21,000 please.

  • Thanks Minicooper for the words of encouragement - much appreciated and glad you sorted out your flat.:A


    Nolongerindenial - good luck. It is only in the last 2 years I have been able to reduce my debt - before that it had been hanging around and growing for 5 years - you will do it but it may be slower than you want.:)


    Matlock - hope you hear about your promotion soon.:D


    Congrats to Sandypan:beer:
    Keep going everyone doesn't matter how big or small payments are. I won't be debt free this year either just closer to it.;)

  • Is there a forum on here where I can get the process of balance transfers to another credit card explained to a dopey person like me?

    I'm looking into transferring my credit card debt to a 0% card however have no idea how to go about it, have no idea about fees for this that and the other. Basically I have no idea about any of it.

    I have £800 on my credit card. No idea what he percentage fee is each month all I know is the minimum payment goes up slightly each month. I pay more than the minimum payment each month but just can't get the thing paid off :(
    I just wish I could afford to pay the whole lot off in one month, but I only get £700 a month in pay and that's to pay bills, shopping and what's not.

    This credit card is what is depressing me, if I could get rid of that debt I'd be happy but it just doesn't seem to shift, even when there's no spending on it!
    I've read Martin's page about transferring cards etc but I am still clueless as to what it actually means!
    Do I still keep my original credit card or do I have to give that account up etc?

    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated
