Debt getting smaller and smaller

Options
Hi guys

I am pleased to announce that I have paid off my motorbike finance which was on a HP contract. The company was rude to me when I tried to strick up a deal I asked them if they can remove some late charges but they refused. I got fed up and decided to pay the remaining amount. I have decided never ever to get a vehicle of finance and I will save up for one in the future. :beer:

    Ouch.
    I can't believe I fell into this trap. Never again!!
    Plus, now we know how much better saving up is :)
