    Hi. #027 here.
    I have decided that I will set a yearly goal for debt payment as my overall total is too scary to think about.
    I will aim for £12000 this year.
    I can add my January total
    £1470 paid in January

    Hi everyone,

    Hi all,
    Update for me - loan payment has come out of £368.56, making my totals:-


    #74 - £870.87/£7000 = 12.44%


    Thanks Muppets!
    LBM 1.1.16 = £27096.59 - now £17,020.38

    Paydbx 2017 - £3588.90/£7000 = 51.27% - number 74
    Paydbx 2016 - £6487.31/£7000 = 92.67% - number 74
