Hi,
I'm a complete newbie, spending time reading through the boards and threads gathering ideas as I go.
My current debt is
£21500 Tesco loan, which is new paying standard agreement amount £385.94 per month (purchased car that was on PCP)
£5985.53 First Direct Loan, paying standard agreement amount £192.33 with a £100 overpayment each month
£1601.00 Interest free Santander Credit Card which I plan to pay in full in January.
I'm planning 15 NSD in January.
Soon to be a single parent, house is on the market (amicable split) I need to get my finances in check!
