I owe;
CC1 - £8500
CC2 - £900
Student loan - £2700
Halifax loan - £240
Looks a lot but is less than a quarter of my income. I'm not in any rush as I'm saving for other things simultaneously.
I'm paying CC1 off slowly at £250 a month (it's on 0%) so in 34 months.
The CC2 one will be gone by autumn.
Halifax loan - last payment this week.
Student Loan - no idea. They take between £200 and £300 a month, but don't seem to keep a tally so will keep taking it after it's paid. Grrrr!
Good luck to my fellow debtors! X0 -
about £22,500 left to pay on a DMP (started at £33K)
£31,500 on a (consolidaton loan)
£26,500 on the mortgage
Grand total around £80,500. Hoping to be all paid off by 2018 at current paying off rates.
Although I have had a student loan statement saying I still owe them although they made me a repayment - so what is that all about ...aaarghDebt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.
Estimated DFD August 2018 - 2031 - now 2027 :T

I've just made a F&F Settlement offer for a CC Debt of £1600 for £9422. I know it wont be accepted, as they turned down my £950 offer recently, but I am hoping now that they see I can negotiate, hopefully they will and we can come to an arrangement. I'd like to be debt free by April next year.
I am selling pretty much everything I own making a lot of sacrifices, as I want to be back on the property ladder in 3 years.As at End of June 2014
Credit Cards - HSBC - £9422
Loans - NRAM £7500 & £128480 -
Hi
Good idea for a thread, always helps to see we are not alone on this journey.
I started in January 2014 owing £20,519.
I now owe £14,867.
My signature lists my debts, I hope to have paid off Next, Co-op cc & Littlewoods by the end of the year and just be left with my three biggies to kill off during 2015.
My target was Debt Free by 40, which is next July. Looking more like next October but haven't given up hope yet.0 -
It's a big fat zero, owe nothing.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
