Some good news!!!

Hello to all,

Only yesterday I was weighing up the costs of BR. However today, after receiving my Tax Credit form thru post, I see a light :j . It seems that even tho I have telephoned them to tell them I am now working full time and earning £16000 my working tax credits have gone up!! Well at least until April next year. But with other income, I will have at least £500 per month to pay my debts, and even if this only continues for 6 months or so it will make a huge dent in what I owe.

yesterday my DFD was August 2027:eek: but for now it could be August 2011!!!:T

lloyds tsb personal loan - £12267.38
lloyds tsb credit card - £ 6066.51
lloyds tsb overdraft - £ 1427.90
barclaycard -£4167.20

Sorry if I whinged a bit yesterday, sometimes just writing it down gets it off your chest. And thanks to all the support I received.

TODAY I FEEL GOOD:D

    Can someone please tell me how I put my debt info on each post I send, or do I have to re-type it each time....

    Sorry bit confused. Would like to see my own figures go down as yours with the strike out as well. It must make you feel good.

    Thanks
