    Congratulations! I always pay off the smallest debts first. I know it's not always financially the best way but I find just reducing the number of debts is so rewarding.

    I'm sorry, but I think I must be missing something here.

    Based on your SOA from 22/6, even if you've paid off your lowest two balances, that's still nearly £6000 in just 5 weeks!

    I kind of thought that too which is why I asked OP to share, in the hope that she had 'come clean'.

    I've just realised there was an updated SOA with different balances on the 1/7, but it would still be over £3000 in less than a month.

    OP, I really really hope you're being honest with these kind people who are trying so hard to help you. :(

    I just assumed there were a couple of low balance credit cards. Didn't check the soa. I wish I could clear my next one in a month!

    I suspect the OP is playing games here. Offering minimal information, just enough to provoke a response. I don't believe everything I read. 44,590 views and 368 comments. A shame when so many genuine caring people have tried to help.

    Hope you're feeling better after the accident, OP.

    Good news on the credit cards too :)
