#1 checking in with 4% paid. It’s slow going at the moment with only the usual dd’s and a payment a day bank round down. At the moment it seems unlikely that I’ll manage to get to 100% by the end of the year, which is my own personal target. Oh well, on to the next 1%..LBM Aug 2017.

Hi all
Can I join in please...... my total debt (all on 0%) is £8722 so 1% - £87.22.
I have been lurking for a few days and started already and have already managed to pay 2% and only £5.10 off another 1%!!
Thanks0 -
#2 checking in with 16%
My car cost more to get through the MOT than expected so that has wiped me out for the month meaning any payments will have to wait til next payday but I paid it in cash not credit.0
