    I have tried this before and like SA a few years ago it worked, tho recently debt hasn't been a focus - but as we all know you look away and it grows!!

    So my current debt is 4980 and I would it to be 2000 pound less by April 16th.

    0/2000

    You can do it Buffy :)

    Morning all :)

    I know this challenge hasn't officially started yet but it's my payday today and I've paid £300 off the debt today.

    So £300/£1880 = £1580 :)

    Wow, great start:j:j:j

    Hi everyone!
    Sun Addict and Rhibi, I admire your devotion, but I can't record your payments, as it wouldn't be fair to other challengers. You need to wait until official start of the challenge.
  • Hi.
    I love this challenge and it has helped me a great deal over the last few years. Can I please be in for £3000 off the balance of my loan. Although this is not the highest interest, it is the balance that bugs me the most and I have it in my mind that I want it gone for June. This is almost half of the outstanding balance and I just love the focus I have at the beginning of the year for posting so my resolution is to carry this on all through the year. This will see me moving from debt payer to saver.
    Many thanks
    Xx

    I’m in.
    My focus this time is going to be my llyods credit card. The balance is currently £2,900 and so I am going to aim to clear at least half of this. So if I could be put down for a target of £1,450 please.
