I paid off £13,000 from my credit card debts, plus £3344 off my loan (low apr), in addition, I also overpaid my mortgage by over £5k. I also paid for a wedding!
So total I have paid off from my debts = £21,344:j :j
I have £17,665 remaining in my loan to pay off but can only settle this in full, so am using my offset to build up the amount in the meantime so I can settle in full as quickly as possible and then throw all my extra cash at the mortgage to clear this too!
I make the DFW running total now 360404!:j :j
Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!
