I'm up for this challenge, ive been talking about sorting my money out for far too long, and i think i could do with the support of fellow debt free wannabes. I'm joining a bit late too, so i'm going to have to work extra hard me thinks.
I want to pay off
Capital One - £158
Oasis Store Card - £120
Some of what i owe my mum - £700 (if i tried for all of it i'd have to stop eating)
Also i've noticed as i've nosed around this thread, Capital One are the general nasty in this case, aren't they. Lured me in and now im struggling to get out.
Also i've been left with a terrible credit rating, i know this isn't the right place to seek advice but has anyone got any tips or could point me in the right direction of some please?:idea: Determined to sort her finances!
