By the end of this month after all my DDs have come up I'll be on 14%

My debt is now below 10k for the first time in years!

#8 checking in after a long hiatus.
I've still been chipping away at the debt and realised that I've cleared 50% of my target so am well chuffed with that.
I've also cleared the card with the extortionate apr with my interest free overdraft so every penny will now go to effectively clearing the debt....just got to make sure that the overdraft is cleared before I start getting charged for that instead!

Hi all, 
Please see below for new challengers numbers.  Firstly welcome to the 1% challenge. I hope you find it usual in helping to reach your debt busting/savings goals.   If you could mention your challenger number and the percentage reached in your updates (and bold the number and percent reached) that would make it lots easier for me when it comes to updating the thread.  e.g.  #1 now at 38%.
Good luck to you all with your 1%'s

#17 checking in. Ive gone backwards a little bit unfortunately. I was at 7% paid but current circumstances have put debt payoffs on the back burner and increased the debt slightly.  Im at 3.6% paid now of my 19033 starting point.  On the plus side i still have a small EF have food in the cupboards and can pay current bills etc. Ill try and get back up to the 7 % paid over the next few months. 
Keep going folks x

Hi all, just a quick update, as I have forgotten to post for a while. I've paid off a massive 77% of my debt now, and hopefully it will be gone by the end of June! (when my 0% interest rate runs out). I am very pleased with this, thank you for running this thread Adventurewanted, it's been very helpful.

So #16 with 77% paid!! 😊

Can I ask how you all know what extra you have to put towards your debts from any disposable income?  I have four different incomes that come in at different times of the month. Unfortunately my laptop is broken otherwise I would put everything on an excel spreadsheet so was wondering if there are any apps or other methods you use that I might find useful.  Thank you.
