final offer! what offer did you put in to clear debt!

Hi everyone!

Would first of all just like to say how much this site has really motivated me! And i do know that if it wasnt for reading everybodies experiences i would still have my head stuck in the sand just ignoring my debts and hoping they would dissapear!

The question i would like to know is how you all got on with your offers to clear your debts at a reduced price! I thought it would be a good thread for people to pop in and wriite down there offers and keep us upto date if they were successfull!
Im sure it would be helpfull for a lot of us in the long run
There is always light at the end of the tunnel

I've got a long journey to reach it

But I will one day with a little help

    No offers here - repaying 100% of what I owe and have another year to go at least. Doing quite well though. Between 2006 and 2010 I fully repaid £22k of debt, but clearing an extra £8k that since 2011 has proved problematic for various reasons...
