    managed to change my Zopa loan which had repayments over 4 years to Admiral over 12 months so balance is now £14,889.26. First payment isn’t until end of February but will start as I mean to go on and overpay at the end of this month so probably best if I restart as 

    £0/£14,889.26 as opposed to £16,439.77 😊

    Hello - I’d love to join this thread too. Not sure how to choose a number to be listed.

    My debt figures are:

    Total Debt: £47,211
    Aim to clear in 2024: £12,000

    I’m paying £1385 approx per month but £385 of this is interest. I’m hoping to switch more of the debt to 0% once I’ve cleared some of the total (I’m not eligible for any cards at the moment 😞).
    number 27! 
    Thank you! I’ll report in again at month end (before next pay day) when I have made all my monthly credit payments!

  • Can I join please? I have £14095 credit card debt across 4 credit cards. My aim is to pay £7000 of this off this year, with the balance paid off by Christmas 2025. I will update every month on payday, but it won’t be an even amount every month. I am also aiming to only have a balance on two of those cards by the end of this year. Thanks everyone.
