    Hi everyone, just wanted to post that I now have less than 30K on my DMP and by Oct I will be over halfway there. Who'd have thought that celebrating being 29.7K in debt would be a thing to celebrate eh! GF
    Well done to you,we hope to be below £30k in a couple of months too! All the best!!

    Well done you! How long has it taken to get this far & how long to go?!! Keep up the good work!
    Its taken me 23 months and currently my DFD is Jul 2011. My review date is Apr and I am considering upping my offer by another £100, but with the cost of living etc that seems to have gone up alarmingly over the last few months, I may have to reconsider. But if I do it would bring my DFD further left to Jul 2011 which would also mean that very shortly I would have less than 3 years to do as well. GF

    It has been a long slog but i think you are right, next target is sub 25 K which should be achieved by the end of this year (I Hope). GF

    Thanks GF. That's some debt you've shifted in less than 2 years! We would have been below £31k but for massive car repair bill of £620:( ! Never mind,we just have to grit our teeth & get on with the debtbusting!
