Hi Everyone.
£238.88 paid off today taking my total to:
#6 £1463.58/£12,0003 -
#18 £1556.76 / £8000
Received switch bonus from FD so that and a monthly payment means I have cleared debt 3.
Normal payment then on other debts have gone through as well.That then frees up £25 more each month to go to the other and bigger debts,
Will aim to clear next by end of May which will then add another £70 to throw against the final debt.
Ahead of schedule so feeling motivated.Challenges
