    Hi IWILLgetthere, have you completed the snowball calculator? If not, go to http://www.whatsthecost.com/snowball.aspx and complete the calculator - it will work out where you should concentrate your payments based on interest rate, to ensure you make the most of your PADs :)
    :j PAID VERY, Barclaycard x3, Vanquis, Natwest, O/D, Tesco & MBNA x2 PAID :j LBM 24/07/15 - Original Debt: £0/31010.23 (100% paid) :eek:

    Good start to your PADding journey Iwillgetthere - agree with kirtsypoos, from the point of view of the thread it doesn't matter if goes against one debt or 4 but from the point of view of your debtbusting the snowball calculator helps you work out where the extra payments will save most interest and get value for money from the payments.


    Yesterday's total is a wonderful £580.82
