in Debt free diaries
In October 2009 I owed 68k in loans and credit cards in 2014 I owe 7k. My new years resolution was to pay 1 creditor debt per month whilst continuing with my dmp. Last month I sold my gold and paid off 3 creditors, 7 to go. I am hoping I can pay 1 more off this month by being even tighter with my budget.

I have not spoken about my debt until now.

I am on a mission to get my life back by being debt free wish me luck.
