Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2019
Comments

I can't believe how much everyone has paid off so far, it's brilliant.
Made a decent amount of payments this month (£518.15). My student loan is also finally paid off! I hadn't included this in my total as I knew it was due to end soon. This should free up money to crack on as it was nearly £300 a month being eaten up.
I've also been helping the Mrs pay a few of her bits of debt off, she's done really well and only has her car to pay for now and again this has freed up some money month to month.
My biggest target is my credit card as the 0% term ends in 3 months. There is £545.59 remaining on there so fingers crossed I make it.

Well, I've only gone & done it! Debt-free for the first time this century :-)
Having the money to pay what I owed gave me the confidence to negotiate with some of the lenders, so I managed to reduce the amount owed from around £12,900 down to £8,055.76
And I've paid it all off!
#95 signing off, 100% paid!

Congratulations kikamorris :T:T:T0 -
I am loving all the debt frees! I think my settlement offer of about 30% Is being accepted for my final debt but.... I’ve also been given 8 weeks notice to end tenancy as landlord wants the house back. So not quite sure how to have the money to do both as I’ve been paying off debts instead of any savings

Still got such a long way, but have made the last payment on our M&S loan (it was £12800 and has taken us 3 years to clear).
So happy that it's gone.
Now got out overdraft and another loan to work on.
Hope everyone else is celebrating their victories whether they are big or small.
