    If yo can pay that you'll only have £250 left. That's really great.

    After that think of all the spare cash you'll have!

  • Hi

    Ive now paid off around 2.5k of the orginal 6 k debt, as I had to balance transfer in another card, ive just today paid off another £250.
    I intend to try and pay another 800-900 at the end of the month, im still going with paying off as much as I can, ill get there in the end ! On the subject of credit card charges I may try and claim back some of my barclaycard, worth a go?
  • Just paid off another 740 pounds today , along with the 250 at the start of the month, ive got down to around 3.3 K now, hopefully it will be gone soon!
  • Great stuff, keep up the good work! x
  • Today just paid off 500 pounds for starters after being paid...
  • At the end of last year I wrote a letter to Barclaycard to claim my credit card charges back, I got a reply back with all the statement back to 2004, those charges total up to £225 with interest. Has anyone got any further statements back to 1999, im thinking just claiming the above amount back to clear some debt!
