  • Cleared my smaller £1000 overdraft too.
    Literally have £150 spare till the end of the month so I should have to use the OD.

    Feels nice to finally be back in the black after years of suffering!

    I suggest you close those credit cards now. I also think you would do better to stop using credit altogether for now and start to budget and save going forward until you have got your finances straight. Was the £20k a loan or a gift?

  • Hi money came as part of my salary in the form of a bonus.

    Never slept better knowing my toxic debt is almost paid off.

    I’m also working on a business venture around work if I can get this off the ground this should allow me to be completely debt free within 24 months.

    Also end of the this yeah I should get a pay rise! So all positive - never been happier / so optimistic about the future.

    Really appreciate all the help and input from you guys.
