Paid £1,000 off cc due to payday and bonus. £10,884/£12084 = £1200 to go to get this cc gone for good.
congrats Bizzy on clearing your card 🎉🎉3 -
Morning all,
Made payments of £186.77 this morning.
Technically I am now debt free, I have £4,250 left to pay and have managed to save £4,273 since lock-down. I'm finding it very difficult to not clear the debt but the sensible side of me is saying don't.
The remaining debt is all at 0% until August 2021 so it just doesn't make sense in this current climate to be left with no backup funds.
