    Is it too late for me to join this?

    I started January with a debt of £2,167, now down to £1,851. This is made up of a storecard with Currys and a Barclays Finance agreement. It's small admittedly and will be cleared by December, if not sooner. I want to use this as inspiration and proof that my debts are decreasing!
