    Thanks guys, my only remaining debt is the Barclaycard which I WILL have cleared by May!

    It's taken me 12 years,
    4 credit cards Barclaycards x 2 £9,000. Capital One £9,000 1st time £4,000 second time
    1 store card - Argos £600
    1 catalogue account- Next £700
    3 loans £4,000 £5,000 and £3,000
    bailed out by Dad £2000

    to get rid of all the above.
    It CAN be done guys!!!

    The only thing I now owe other than the mortgage (Which I'm going to start overpaying once I'm totally debt free)is the Barclaycard balance.

    A giant millstone has been lifted.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • That is fantastic news - you have done so well, it must feel wonderful to have achieved so much:T and to be so close to the end:T

  • Hey, well done!

    Good news like this always gives me a little bit of hope!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • It must be a great feeling and we have paid off MBNA today, should have been before xmas but couldn't quite manage it.
