    Wow look at you go, you're on it like sonic!! :D

    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! You're number #028.
    Hi there, I would like to join as I have £2330 to pay off as quickly as possible, it's to a family member and is interest free, but needs to go.

    Thanks
    Nannyg

    Family debt is debt all the same, let's get that cleared :T I've given you number #029 :T
  • I'd like to sign up too. As of this moment I have:

    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 :o

    Not cheating - it's all going to the same goal! #030 allocated, hope it suits :rotfl:
    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...
    I'm now £100 / £4000 :D:D:D:D yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

    Oi! Stop cheating by starting early :rotfl: Just kidding, well done!

    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 :D

    Ahhh, a nice round 68% ;) Good luck, #032 is all yours. Sounds like an ideal candidate to run the 2016 thread :rotfl:
    I would love to join this! I would like to pay off my sofa loan and my bank loan by next Xmas! Will go and check my balances :)

    #033, welcome! I've put your total in, good luck. :T

    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 :o: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 :T
    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:
    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.

    Ali

    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 you
  • 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.
  • I doubt I can quite pay all of mine off:
    I'd like to pay off £5000 by next Christmas :j
    Baby due 21/06/2017 :)

    But you'll have achieved a lot by trying, and you never know!!
    £1k emergency fund (#33) £140/£1000 10.4%

    Can you put me in for £1378 please?

    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!
  • Too true! I'm trying to be a realist as I want to save at the same time towards a car for hubby :)
    Baby due 21/06/2017 :)
