applied for a 0% cc but it's been ignored, Lloyds are part of HBOS so can't see them giving me it, it'd reduce my interest by £30 a month. I opened an account with rbs because I'm finally ditching santander, I'll never forgive them for blocking my account and the amount of over charging they did a few years ago.
I'm looking at middle of next year to be debt free from the evil cards, hoping for maybe June 2014. Just been hit with a £600 electic bill though and a holiday coming up so might be a bumpy ride this month.
Do you guys include your mortgage in your debts?LBM; Nov 2010 27206.14

Well done all those that are breaking milestones - whether it is sub 40k or sub 10k. My next is sub 50k, which is still horrific but still better than 78k!Allypops

Recurrent ostrich you should be shouting not whispering. It's all in the right direction. I told one of my close friends the other day that I had gotten my debt down to £10k something. I was thrilled and she was horrified that I had so much debt. She then said but that includes your car surely
erm no . My bubble got burst a wee bit. I won't be telling anyone else in real life. I'll tell them once I have £10k in savings
