    Yippy, last year I had only just started and the figures felt too big to join. £8975 left to go, whoop whoop. Want the lot gone by Sept 26, I am probably being too industrious but would feel great to go from 32000 in Sept 24 to 0 in Sept 26 :D. Reality is December 2026. 

    £8975 currently. 
    Sept 24 : £32000    Aug catch up - £11436   Dec 25 - £8975
    May 25 :  £14000            Sept 25 - £10635   Jan 26 - 
    June 25 : £13000   Sep catch up - £10356                                                                                            
    July 25 :  £12000               Oct 25 -  £9569
    Aug 25 :  £11880               Nov 25 - £9275

  • I might be getting a lump sum soon but I don’t know whether to pay my interest card off at £4000 29% interest or pay my loan off at 12000 at 7.2% with £500 payment a month? What’s best?
