3 debts in 6 months

amylou8

I would like to join in your challenge too if that's ok? I have 3 final debts to pay which I can't wait to get rid of and this might motivate me to keep overpaying!! They are:

Capquest - £631
Essex and Suffolk Water - £173
Westcot - £1150

I will also aim to get all of these paid by Christmas!!

Welcome amylou - course you can join. Good Luck with paying them off - imagine how good christmas will be to get rid of your last three debts x x

I have decided that I am going to work at these debts in order starting with the smallest. I should have an extra £30 tomorrow to pay this debt and then my normal £25 payment comes out next week anyway, am going to look for some stuff to sell on ebay and amazon to try and pay this debt off within the next 3 weeks and then I will just have the bigger ones to go!!!

Morning everyone - Ive been a bit quiet overpaying this last month as I now have double nursery fees for the next 6 weeks so havent had any 'spare' cash but made a payment of £50.00 to Dotty P yesterday so owe them around £350.00 now - want to get the total down to less than 2k by the end of July ie this week so wish me luck! x

Yoo hoo Penguin

I've found you!! Sorry for not popping on earlier.

What a good idea for a thread....Good luck to everyone and I hope you all succeed.

Penguin Hun....You're doing really well and I'm sure you will achieve your target.....one down two to go.

Bit of a shame about the nursery fees but the target of £2k before end of July is a good one...so only £48.12 left......Good luck.


Are any of your utilities/insurance etc up for renewal so you can earn a bit on Quidco? I know it takes a bit of time to come through but perhaps this would help towards the following month?

Hugs to you and keeping fingers and paws crossed
Love

yay got one paid of. mabaged to finish paying the ann summers card today. so very happy at that. only a small bill but one pf those pesky ones that wouldnt go away. thankfully card is now cancelled and its gone.

penguin83

Yeay - well done JP - its sooooo good cancelling a card!

I managed to pay another 50.00 on july 31st making it sub 2k by the end of July (even if only by a matter of hours!) With a bit of luck and a good push I should be able to clear this by the end of August just leaving the bigger MBNA one to go! x x

Wol - thanks for popping in - I really must get the utilities sorted as I have never changed suppliers and could probably save myself a fortune! x x

Morning everyone!

Have joined in emilys payment a day challenge so I am on target to pay off dotty p by the end of August which will be 2 out of the 3 gone. That will leave MBNA with a balance now of 1975.89 (interest for 2 months gone on) so from Sep 1st so will have 116 days to clear MBNA which equates to 17.03 a day so it is do-able but will be tight! x x
