And the journey continues! I have managed to clear one of my credit accounts and have continued to jiggle my accounts about a lot, so the majority of my debt is on 0% interest now. I am focussing as hard as I can on paying off those that aren't first.
Current situation in order of priority is -
Credit account 1 - 2,500
Credit account 2 - 8,900
Credit account 3 - 4,550 (0%)
Credit account 4 - 1,600 (0%)
Credit account 5 - 13,500 (0%)
Total - £31,050
My next short term goal is to get my total debt under £30k, which will be a third of the way to my debt free goal.Jophi2b - Debt free Wannabe!Starting debt £45,362 @ 10 July 2020

I am actually starting to feel like I am winning this battle now! I have managed to break below 30k barrier. Also been doing a bit more jiggling about to get as much of my debt onto 0% as possible.

My next short term goal is to get rid of Credit account 1 asap. It is the only debt that I am currently paying monthly interest on, and it needs to GO!
