    £5 to the cc, most of my pads to the credit card are coming from Vinted sales that we are doing, it’s really helping to bring down the balance.  My goal is to have it cleared this year.

  • £21.37 off the overdraft thank you, @Keedie

    The overdraft is NOT going down even a little bit, but at least thanks to Prolific, I am managing to keep it from getting worse.  :s
    I'm always in it. It's just the depth that varies.

    Immediate Problem: Overdraft: £752.59 * Paypal £671.07 * Creation £592.74 = £2,016.04
    Phase 1: Vanquis CC £4100.11 * Tesco CC £3996.60 * Capital One CC £3800 = £11,896.71
    Phase 2: Zopa Loan: £12,755
