  • I would love to join this thread please! Slightly apprehensive as I'm really expecting a stay the same with my debts in 2015 as planning for a wedding at the end of the year but, you know what, as always these forums motivate me to be better with my finances. So, quick total shows:

    £2050 capital one 1
    £200 capital one 2
    £150 rent arrears (will be gone by April as overpaying monthly)
    £300 Next
    £500 overdraft :-(
    £2000 default CC with DCA (no current payments may offer F&F?)
    =
    £5,200 which is more than I thought gulp! But I'm going to go for it with all your support :j

  • Any good ideas on what order to do this in I think I need to be better organised than last year. I have £1900 on one cc £1300 @ 0% £600 @14.5 and £5K on a loan @ 5%.

    I'm doing the Dave Ramsey snowball method, paying off the smallest balances first. It's definitely worked for me as you get the buzz sooner from seeing those accounts closing.
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D

  • Yes thanks I'll do the cc then the loan it might not be as financially sound but makes sense psychologically.
