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%!!


Thanks

Hi, welcome to the 1% challenge. I’ve assigned you number 37 on our list of challengers. If you could mention your number when checking in that’d be great. Good luck with your 1%s.

Hello #21 checking in. A small payment made and I've hit my 6.5%

Have a few things for sale to try and reach that 7% mark. Hard going but still plodding along.
We can do this!

I've tipped over into 3% today. Yay. Sold two items of clothes and got cashback on a deposit for my summer holiday.

Hi all,

I've been lurking and reading people's progress I'm trying to get into the groove with selling items but keep loosing momentum and debating just giving it all to charity. I am majorly decluttering, so this for me is also about making space. I think since I agreed a lower repayment to my debt (with a family member) I've also lost the groove.

I'd like to give myself the goal of £2018 for 2018, so £20.18 is 1%.

I think seeing postage and fees taken off also really demotivates me, so I have 15 high price items listed on E***, but my latest 9 items I have listed elsewhere.

So far I have sold 6 items at 65.94 (minus postage of 23.40) = 42.54 (unsure what this will be after fees.) So will check in with a cautious 1%.

Does anyone else start taking pictures or listing items and just want to give up?

Slowly adding up. Sold a skirt on eBay today and used 2 Asda price guarantee vouchers.

Number 20 reporting in. Now another 3% paid off from eBay sale. Now at 6%. I know it’s not much but I’m paying other debts off at the same time but this one I’m desperate to get rid of!
Baibelle I’m like you with selling stuff. I find it really time consuming. Are you on Facebook? I find it easier to sell on the items for sale page in My area as people can collect rather than getting dumped with fees.

Had another three sales after I dropped the prices by a pound. I have taken off postage and fees so 10 sales = £53.25 / 2018, now at 2%!
