Hi all!
We wanted to know what the highest amount is you've seen repaid by an MSE Debt-free wannabe?
If you can find the link to the person's debt-free diary we'd love to see it!

I repaid just under £50,000.
It took about five and a half years through a DMP with CCCS/Step Change.Debt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.
Dealt with my debt through a Step Change (CCCS) DMP.

I think (without checking the original Payplan info) that mine was £78k
{Edit} - now I have checked, looks like it was £71,671.100 -

I really don't get this my debt is bigger than yours thing because it's all so relative to income etc. Someone's debt of £100K may be less significant than someone else's £10K due to disparity in circumstances.
Please let's celebrate everyone's success equally and not make it bigger and more is best.

Agreed- I have seen posts on here where people have had unsecured debts in excess of £100k that they have cleared.0
