    Haven't posted for a while as I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere fast.:o

    I have managed to pay £140 off HSBC card and another £300 off Egg card today so I feel like I am actually making some progress.

    Been doing loads of Mystery Shopping and when that money hits the bank I'll pay it straight off Egg.

    :xmassmile I feel that a Debt Free Christmas may be in sight :xmassmile

    Keep going everyone you are doing soo well:T
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Wow everyone is doing so well. What better present for Christmas than to be 3 debts down. Keep going xx

    Hello,

    Well I have paid off barclaycard, I am now going after them for charges, its £216. When I get the charges back, I will pay them off capital one. Also, now my ex husband isn't paying maintenance on my Barclaycard, he will start paying it on my Littlewoods account. Not sure I will be able to pay off everything by the 25th but I will give it a good go. Even if I only pay of the Barclaycard and Capital One, then I wont be paying interest on anything anymore.

    Well done on everyone making progress towards debt-free-ness!

    Littlewoods £457 requested CCA 30.11.07
    As at 30/11/07!

    Successfully reclaimed charges from Barclaycard, A+L in my sights now.

    All debts interest free now!

  • Mission complete ..... all my Xmas Challenge debts are now cleared :)

    Where is everyone - no posts since 8th!!!

    Should I assume that everyone has finished their challenge and I'm the biggest loser in the land!
