Managed to pay off £880.28 in May, bit if a late update. Cleared my credit card before the 0% rate ended, and finally paid off the sofa we bought 4 years ago!
Just my loan, some 0% finance furniture, my car and the wife's car left now.
This is the biggest dent I've managed to make in our debt so I'm hoping I can continue this pace.

Pay Off Debts by Xmas 2025 debt £0/74000 -
Smaller than usual payment for me, but all going downward:
#04 - £1,677.06 / £4,1610 -
The loan is gone!!!! Whoohoo!!!!
So that's £306.07 gone but I've just bought some Christmas presents with the CC (0% so that's fine and I'll be getting £225 back for them in the next few days). While my total paid off will go down, from now on all the loan money will be going to the CC which until today was also heading in the right direction. If all goes well, I'll be debt free by October at the latest
#89 £2186.44/3855.16Debt free and saving like crazy0 -
Congrats to everyone, we're making some real good progress!
Just the monthly payments from me:
#173 Paid £141 = £2,119.13 / £5,800
That leaves £525 on the MBNA card with 29 days left interest free. I found out I won't get my expenses paid in time so now I guess I will pay this off with savings - I have 3000 SEK not earning any interest so will need to take £275 out of a 5% savings accountBut this is what I started the savings account for so it will have to be done!
Edit: I have a little spreadsheet which tracks the original purchases that put me into debt, this payment has cleared the last few pounds from 2017 :j0 -
Hello! I know I’m late but can I join please?
My total debt right now is £9,042.08 and I’d love to get rid of it all by Xmas! My current spreadsheet is projecting I should be there by the end of Jan 19, so if I just push a little harder I might make it!0 -
