Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2017

            Hi all
 Some amazing debtbusting going on on this thread, well done everyone!!
 I have been following but haven't overpaid much of my loan so keep forgetting to post my total.
 #44 £2852.01/£16000
 Still, with the limited overpayments I've made so far I've managed to shave two months off the length of the loan, and now I have a bit of a wage buffer to "pay" myself a consistent amount at the end of each month (am paid weekly in one job, monthly in the other) I can start throwing any extra I earn at the debt.
 Hope the day's as lovely with you as it is here :wave: xx#21 Save £12k in 2025 £19277.35/£200000

            Just the minimum payment for my 0% CC this week, we got an offer on the flat yesterday and it wasn't quite enough so we've gone back with a counter offer, hopefully this'll all be sorted soon and I can really start throwing some serious money at my debts!
 Really happy to have paid off over £900 now and to be back in the £3000's instead of 4 though

            I miscalculated last month's total, but in my favour.
 After a bit of bonus Birthday Booty Money, I am pleased to say:
 #53 DEBT PAID OFF IS £878.61/£1500 which I think is about 58.57%!

            Just paid another £459.72 - the extra over and above my monthly salary in my repayment pot -so new total is:
 #44 £3331.73 / £16000
 please Muppets.
 I've also just requested a cash transfer from my idle Barclaycard, 1.9% transfer fee that will still save me £200 in loan interest once I factor in said fee, and on 0% for a year. I know it's borrowing from Peter to repay Paul, but apart from the money I'll save, the psychological effect of getting the loan below £10k will be enormous!#21 Save £12k in 2025 £19277.35/£200000
