    Hey all, :hello:


    I have decided to bite the bullet and round up all of my debts which were NOT 0% and consolidate them with another loan. It felt wrong to be applying for additional credit, especially when I am so keen to be free of it! However I know its the most sensible thing to do, and can overpay or repay the new loan without penalty if I save enough!


    So I have cleared off
    Barclaycard (28.9% :eek: )
    Car Finance (20.89% :eek: )
    OVerdraft reduced by £1000!
    And some of Nat West CC


    The other CCs are 0% and will be cleared off by the SO payments before the end of the 0% period so I saw no point in paying them off.


    So total paid off, is technically £8253


    But I now owe a total of £8593 on the loan... So my total debts are roughly the same but the amount of interest I can save is worth it, and its easier having one debt to PAD now instead of 5... :j


    Hope you are all good xx

    Jo can you clarify the figure of £8253 I take it that it's not a PAD I haven't included it in the totals but if it should be included let me know ............ Ta

    Milky, Im not sure to be honest!


    Technically its debt which has been paid off, so I gave you the total. But I have new debt in its place, so am not sure if you would include this or not? I don't mind either way...


    So kicking off todays PADs, I am chipping away at the Natw3$t CC £34.86 DD and £15.00 SO


    = £49.86

    Happy PADding everyone
