Hi,
Can I join this challenge please? I currently owe £4740
Its all with debt agencies so it's at zero interest. As a recently single mum I know that I need to get rid of this to help me and my boys moving forward.
The idea of paying it all off is very aspirational, however I'd like to give it a good try.
Thanks
