Hi there have been eagerly awaiting the end of the previous challenge to sign up for the next one.

Well done everyone and fab challenge.

I am going to commit to clearing £316.60 Its not the biggest amount but it has the highest interest rate and will feel better psychologically once it is gone.

At the moment my snowball says it will be paid up March '16 but hopefully sooner with this challenge.

Thanks

Hello everyone
I am also eagerly awaiting the beginning of this next challenge. Can you put me down for
£1000
It won't clear a whole debt but it will make a dent in it!!
Thank you

I am in. Will find how much need to clear after tomorrow's payments final push, last day of. Chapter 19 challenge.

I'm in as well.

My target is £521 which will clear the remaining debt off my challenge 19 debt and half of the next debt to be swept up.

I do have one question though. The debt that I want to use Challenge 20 for is on a sort of repayment plan, practically on zero interest.

If I pay the money directly to the debt, then I'm worried they bump up the interest rate so would you save the money until I can clear it entirely?

chocolatebum

could i join in please, i am paying off a larger debt as part of pay by xmas challenge but i want to run one of my smaller debts in this challenge to help clear another bill.

i need to clear £531 so £5.31 a day. hoping to do this through clearing out and selling a lot of the really useful things ( rubbish and tatt ) that i bought throughout the years.

Hi Amara,

Thanks for running another challenge

Please can I pledge a very ambitious £2000 for OHs credit card

Amara

Hi !
Very ambitious £1700 from me. It'll pay off whole my MBNA credit card.

LoLo

Could I join please? I would like to aim to pay £1000. This will clear one credit card and make a huge dent in another. Time to get back on track.

parsniphead

Could I join please? I have been on a MSE sabbatical for a while as the Internet was taking over my life but I have taken my eye off the ball. One of the early versions of this challenge helped me clear a debt and when I have tried other times I have failed. I was going to try a very small debt of £136 but have decided to go for a higher one of £576.56 which will be £5.76 per day. I really need to start hitting this debt hard.

At the end of November I will have paid off a loan and can start hitting the bigger card debts.

Going for 1000 pounds again as I came so close last time 42 short but hey ho try harder this time. Thanks Amara
