hey emptypurse you are doing so well, keep going small steps at a time.... i lose motivation too and feel like giving up but I read back over the bits I have paid already no matter how small and remind myself that i am heading in the right direction. Rome wasnt built in a day!!
Looking at your statement of affairs, you are still on paper left with £254... i know that never actually happens but with careful budgeting and as many NSD's as possible you can pay off small amounts extra. That is what I do

Hi,
Just to say that I am subscribing, and will be cheering you on from the sidelines.
At one time I worked 2 jobs - it really is a killer - no wonder you're feeling down. If all fails you could go to a debt management company like StepChange or PayPlan. We've just finished our dmp, we went from out and out panic to relaxation when we took it out. We've paid back every penny we owed - although most of them shelve most of the interest.
