Debt free day has arrived!

All,

After 5 years I am debt free and it feels great!

Thank you to everyone for your support, it is great to know there are people in similar situations.

To everyone on a plan, keep at it!

To everyone struggling with debt and unsure what to do, the sooner you get started to reduce it, the soon it will be over and you will have control again.

Andy

    Congratulations :) you will never forget today.

    I still remember closing my front door nearly 20 years ago and realising that everything in the house was mine and paid for. Some of it might have been old but all mine.

    Congrats to you:beer: I too am in the same boat right now, waiting for my certificate of completion of my IVA, it lasted a year longer than normal(6 yrs) so in 6 weeks time, all my defaults will disappear from my credit file :j!!
    I joined this forum for advice and support in 2010, and I have learnt a lot from it, I just hope other people can benefit from it the same as I have.

    Happy days :)
