Hello, pay day has been and gone so I have £100 today to put to my CC. I had hoped to have a little more but I got engaged a few weeks ago so we've had a few celebrations to pay for and I bought my fiance a present, only fair, I got a ring

Looking forward to properly knuckling down and getting all this debt (and a bit more to add too) paid off by May next year hopefully and then I can spend a year saving for the wedding!

We have put some larger purchases on 0% CC (maybe 8K?), so total is more than the £9472 which it should be by now
. However, my plan is to get balances on these as at 31st Dec and then start again next year - hopefully clearing it all in 2018

I’ve paid off another £300
Amount left is £10000 -
Congrats Elle Jay.
Congrats Kirst p on the baby - my loan was 2.88% from Hitatchi Finance I did a soft search on here first bizarre some would only give me a small chance of a loan others a great chance.
Muppets to stop messing you about by altering totals because i imagine that this is such hard work. You could put my total as cleared because technically I have paid 3/4 of it completely and the other 1/4 I'll add to my mortgage figure which was never on here on here because I had not thought of clearing it. And my figure for 2018 on the New Spreadsheet will be £11,000 omg it sounds a lot but at least I know without debt busting it will be gone in 36 months. With the help of you people and some luck I could do it in 12 - 18 months maybe.Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 2018 14TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE / 2026 trying to stay debt free0
