Getting Started (Again)
So having cleared over £18k of debt around 15 years ago, I know find myself in the unenviable position of having accrued debt and trashed my credit file once again…
Things are very different now to then, but for various reasons I have only recently managed to turn a corner and really faced up to the situation. I made use of breathing space to get myself in order, have all my debts totalled up and minimum payments agreed and set up on all of them. My aim now is to try to summon my ghost of debt busting past and really focus my energies on getting the decks cleared asap. I used to get such a buzz from seeing those numbers come down so here we go again.
Opening debt total was £12896.34
Current total as at the end of Feb was £10978.30
Current focus is on clearing my PO card which has a balance of £250.31
Let's do this I guess 😶
