    Last month I had £182.50 left in my bank account before payday. I have £417.57 left in my account this month. Leaving £200 in there and moving the rest to pay off the debt. Going to keep doing this each month, keeping a little extra in my account so perhaps 220 next month, and then sending the rest to the debt.

    217.57 payment made.

    Edit:

    Realised I had decided to pay an additional £45.75pm to the debt due to cancelling a direct debt. So may as well do it now :)

    Hi, I don't know if I've been given a number yet (couldn't see one but may just be missing something).

    Today I paid £315 off my total.

    Brings me to £718/£4,782 :D

  • Hi, I'd like to join in please!
    My debt currently stands at the eye-watering sum of £28533.20 (down from nearly £47k two years ago, it's a hard slog but having goals makes it easier!)
    My target is to clear £12000 this year, which is lofty and possibly a bit unrealistic, but time will tell!
    I got off to a slow start, but am so far at £889/£12000 7.4%
