  • Better late than never, I would like to join please!

    I totted up my debts at the start of the year and the payments to them so far. So my target for the year is £5800 (with £3.87 change!) and clearing that would leave me with no consumer debts but some money owed to family that I hope to tackle next year.

    Payments TD make my total £339.82/£5800

    Thanks!
