The 'extra payment every week' thread 2014

A tiny over payment of £1.20 towards my Debenhams card. So annoying not being able to log-on online to make a payment

Will hopefully be back in a couple of days with a better, bigger over payment!!

£15.42 over payment today not a lot but it wasn't to the debt I'm trying to clear first so it's another bonus. Yay!

Another £4.76 bank account skin today. Getting there slowly...

I'm sneaking in early for next week with £2.68 (money off coupons on weekly shop).
I agree with PLMBL that this challeng has been so helpful in clearing the debts, not just because all the little payments add up but also because it does keep me focused on the debt busting. When I was just making one big payment a month it was easy to let the overspending creep up. This challenge makes me think about all the little things I can do to get rid of the debt sooner so big thanks to lucky for running it

Managed to pay £70 towards a CC today I think its 0.4% am I correct 70 divided by hundred then multiply by the total debt.
Sorry for being rubbish at maths (hence the debt)

Hi looking forward not back and welcome to this challenge. We're a friendly bunch here :hello: To work out you percentage you need to divide the money you've paid by the debt the multiply it by 100. So if I pay an extra £60 on a £2000 debt it works out at 60 divided by 2000 is 0.03 x 100 = 3% Hope that helps.

Hi FlacosFloozie and thankyou for the heads up on working out the %. I will update my signature..


This site is excellent and I have found some great tips and advice.
I am seriously becoming addicted to debt busting lol

Its nice to know that others are in a similar boat to me and all working towards the same goal.
It shows that its possible with determination and commitment.
Good luck all.

Hi all
another payment for me today. I'm loving this game lol. A game that I will win in the end.

£250 this week towards CCs :j

Enjoying actually seeing the totals coming down albeit in small amounts but down is better that up.
