Then im left with 1 debt of £960 - still alot, but glad ive only got the one to concentrate on.
Good Luck everyone with your challange!0 -

When your CCJ is paid off, make sure you get a letter confirming this. Foward the letter on to the court to get your ccj satisfied. Then you'll feel even better not having an outstanding ccj on your credit file!:jPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Well done!!! :T :T
My Ebay items are selling for just over £70 at the moment and I've got more to list tomorrow.
I received another prize today of some anti-ageing products and was amazed to find that they are worth £200!!! They are only 3 products!!! Some people have got more money than sense!! Never mind, I will enjoy selling them on Ebay.
I have also been busy today doing 2 mystery shops and have got another 4 lined up next week.

You've all done so well, but sorry I'm out of this one, I really am pants at challenges. Really thought I could do this but things just keep falling at my feet, struggling with kids being off too, eating me out of house and home.

Hi all hope everyone has been having a good week.
I have about £40.00 so far toward Capital One trying not to count it until the end of the week. Sad I know the things I look forward to now!
Can anyone help me with Amazon. I have lots of books that I have read once and know I wont read again so I had the bright idea of selling them on Amazon after seeing how well people do on here. When I tried to sell them I had to register with a credit card. The problem is I have cut up all my credit cards. Should I request a replacement from Capital One so I can sign up or do you think this would be a bad idea.
Thanks x
I did the exact same cut up my credit cards but you can do it as a bacs transfer so the money will just switch over to your current account. Thats what i have done so hopefully today i can switch some of it over. I have sold about 15 books now worth it good luck.
