    Sometimes you have months where its very slow and not much being paid off, i have been the same until the last few days have been making lots of payments to a particular cc. you have done well so far though and im sure it will pick up again soon......we will get debt free!!!! Then laugh in the bankers faces (and not do it again, will we!) :D

    Good for you, atleast it is in the right direction.
    I had some not so good news the other week virgin have upped my interest rate from 15.9% to 24% :eek: and if i make only the minimum payment each month i would only be payin £1.21 off a month :mad: i cant believe this kind of thing is allowed!
    Anyway i am throwing everything at this debt now to try and get rid of it for good!!

    Thanks Stacy.

    Really sorry to hear about the Virgin Card. This has happened to my GF and I know that its in the small print etc but I think its totally out of order - especially as they do it to people they know are struggling and that the interest rates have been getting lower and the [EMAIL="W@&$%&s"]W@&$%&s[/EMAIL] put theres up.

    Good luck with your debt clearance.

    The same thing happened to me Stacy. I am hoping that I will be able to pay off Virgin next month and get rid of that massive rate.
