    Hi :j extra payment of £197 today owing to a little windfall, makes up for the last few weeks where I've not paid of any extra :o. Also managed to switch my loan to a 0% card so it will be paid off in six months, much earlier than expected :j:j:j Now I just have that credit card to chip away at....it is 0% but includes Xmas presents so must get on with that :p

    Hope everyone having a good MSE week :A

    Hi,
    Please can I join?
    I've been planning to make some fairly substantial overpayments to try and get my cc debt busted in a year (Jan 15) but although I've made some extra money to try to do this, life has conspired to find a way to divert it from debt busting :( I think I've maybe been thinking too big and just a small overpayment each week will definitely make a difference.
