Woohoo my SKY quidco cashback is ready to transfer. Only took 7 months.
£100 extra this week now0 -
Id like to join please. I have £4835.13 to clear by xmas.
Welcome! Number #027 ok?Wow look at you go, you're on it like sonic!!
Thanks for taking on the thread for 2015. Last year's thread really helped me pay off a lot more than I would have done. I have a small target this year as my card is going to take a bit of a hammering for our holiday.
Please can you put me down for....£2000.
Hopefully I will be able to make that. It's slightly out of my comfort zone but what's the point of a target if it's not going to push you a bit!!:rudolf:
I'm thinking of setting my total as my total debt for the same reason, rather than some reduced target. To push me out of my comfort zone (as if £15k isn't out of it enough already :eek:) Let's hope this year is another good one!

MBNA £ 673
Natwest £ 1,995
BOS CC £ 3,292
Barclaycard £ 1223
Halifax Credit Card £ 774
Total goal for 2015:
£7, 957
I've come a long way since a few years back when this amount was three to four times larger. I'd love to see the back of it in the next 12 months, and I think that I can. Currently working 4 jobs and doing all the overtime possible. As with a few others on here, I have some money coming to me to pay down some more this year, but I'll just call it part of 2015, so I guess I'm cheating a bit, but only by a few weeks
Not cheating - it's all going to the same goal! #030 allocated, hope it suits :rotfl:Aloofdragon wrote: »Evening all can I go down for £3250 for this year please ... These include 2 credit cards and a left over credit union loan thats dragged on forever !!! x good luck all x
Good luck to you too! #031 coming your way...sarahm0rris wrote: »I'm now £100 / £4000:D:D:D yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Oi! Stop cheating by starting early :rotfl: Just kidding, well done!0 -
I worked out my total, can you put me down for:
#14 £5099.47 please x
Updated for you :beer:greensalad wrote: »I won't be able to pay it all off because my DFD is December 2016, but I'd like to keep on track and pay off £3478 by Christmas 2015. That will take me to 68% paid off :T
That'll pay off CC No.1 completely and take me just 2 months shy of CC No.2. And SLC entirely paid
Ahhh, a nice round 68%Good luck, #032 is all yours. Sounds like an ideal candidate to run the 2016 thread :rotfl:

#033, welcome! I've put your total in, good luck. :T0 -
Hello again - I'm in for 2015 please. Re-calculated total debt as it stands today and the amount I am planning to clear is £43,879.52
:eek::o
Don't mind if I get a new number or keep the old one.
Good Luck Everybody!
#035 this year! Good luck to you too :TRoundthebend wrote: »Oops sorry for spamming ��
I currently pay £160 off this amount a month so want to add more. I've calculated that I need to be paying about £250 a month to pay it off. Wish me luck!
Good luck! :rotfl:parsniphead wrote: »I'm back and hanging my head in shame. Can I come back please. I was within a few hundred pounds of paying off my debt earlier this years when I stopped focussing and the debt went up. I also stopped updating which I feel quite annoyed about because this thread has tended to keep me on track.
I'm only a few hundred off paying off my DMP but now owe quite a chunk to close family.
I've been saying for the past two years it's going to have to go but this year has to be the end.
I will be back with the figure soon.

No need to hang your head in shame in this company, we're all in very similar boats and I bet lots of us have had 'relapses' in the past. The main thing is that you're back and more determined than ever :T Number #036 for you0 -
Phew! I've caught up, I think! Please check I've entered your numbers correctly on page 1.
Lost of determination already, and it's not even 2015 yet! Even some cheeky payments, well done guys. Keep us updated on your progress, tips and stories, it helps all of us to keep motivated.0 -

It is a massive challenge for me as I've recently become unable to work due to being disabled by my chronic neurological condition but I'm determined to be debt free by next Christmas!
Good luck to everyone!I AM DEBT FREE!0 -
Too true! I'm trying to be a realist as I want to save at the same time towards a car for hubbyBaby due 21/06/20170
