    Hi all, I'm back again after failing to clear my debt last year. Had a really bad few months and my debt is at an all time high. You's were fab inspiration last time so can I join again please. I haven't totalled my debt (will do that tomorrow). There is no way I will be able to clear it all by Xmas but I'll make a darn good attempt to clear some!

    Hi Ali welcome back. You are #171

    Hello all... Newbie here.

    Would like to join. I have £2550 debt that no-one knows about that I would like to pay off by Xmas.

    Hopefully from the end of this month I can start putting at least £500 towards it.

    Well done everyone. Been lurking on this site for few weeks.

    You are all doing so great, I assume a thread will pop up for next year too? Next year is going to be the year I become debt free so I'll be eagerly awaiting a debt free by Dec 18.
    Hi DebtFreeDuo there will be another thread for next year. It will probably start in the middle of December. A link will be posted in this thread when next years is set up. x

    Hi Everyone.

    It is payday today.

    I have big debt news.

    I have rounded down my long term debt to OH, I have paid enough to bring Mr L CC to under £1200 and I have paid £80 to my overdraft meaning for the first time in 9 years I DON'T HAVE AN OVERDRAFT!

    So the total payments today - which don't include a payment to a CC I can't make just yet - mean this is my total:

    #53 debt paid off = £3089.31/£3000

    I have met my target and I still have 2 months to go, ya hoo!

    Target cleared - £ 3,000.00

    Well..Flippin 'eck!.....I've done it!

    I just made my final £200 payment to my last creditor and I am now DEBT FREE!!!!

    So...for the final time Muppets...*takes deep breath* #66 £2889/£2889!!!!!!!

    Thank you so much to everyone here...I truly couldn't have done it without you all.

    Last year I was in such a bad place (in every sense of the word) but, I made changes....some of them were very drastic and now my life is so much simpler and 100 times better.

    Muppets, thank you for your wonderful thread. It totally inspired me and I would never have been able to do this without you personally. I'm truly grateful to you hun!

    I hope you don't mind if I pop back on here from time to time to see how you're all doing.

    Good luck guys!

    Hugs

    Thank you Muppets. :D

    When I set my first target of £1500, I thought that was impossible.
    When I changed it to £3000, I thought that was impossible.

    Although I have exceeded my target I still have debt so will keep going.

    I have paid another direct debit so:

    #53 debt paid £3118.08/£3000
    Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020
    Debt Free Stage 2 - Completed 50/181 Payments
