    Woo-hoo! :T

    I can't wait to be able to join you. Small win for me, I've transferred the last of my debt to 0% with a saving of £1160 ish in interest payments.

    Baby steps... :)

    Baby steps all the way, and great that you're still cred-worthy enough to get a 0% deal. By the time I had faced up to my debts, I was so trashed that my only option to lose any interest payments was to get Stepchange to plead my case and get the lenders to stop adding it! Thankfully I think all of them did in the end, but I know that not everyone is so lucky!

    25% paid!!!!!! 25% I can't believe it.
    Debt of 51k, over 13k paid back now. 25%!!!!!!!!!!!
    The massive effort is beginning to feel a bit worth while.
  • I've got my pina colada chilling in the fridge to celebrate £20k paid off my debt in 2 weeks time... I'll come back to check-in when we actually hit the milestone, but when I saw this thread I couldn't help myself :rotfl:

    Forgot to post but I dipped under 17K total debt remaining last week. Still seems like a long way off, but I'll get there!

    No milestone in debt reduction this month as I am only paying my predators a token payment of £1 each for Feb and March. However, my milestone this month is that I am now officially on a self-managed DMP :)
