I've got to share my excitement somewhere!
Today, after 5 years of blood, sweat and tears I paid my last bankruptcy payment!
I feel so bloody proud of myself for dealing with it all after my husband died.
Obviously it's not something that I've told many people. I fact I think about 3 people know I had to go through the whole process.
Anyway, I'm happy that I free and I can move on with my life.

Anyone else have some good news to share?

Congratulations 🎉 well done that must feel such a relief!

allthebeautifulflowers · 21/07/2023 23:09

Well done you! You deserve a treat now. And maybe - forgive me for being boring - now use at least some of that money each month towards savings and pension, to look after your future self?

GroggyLegs · 21/07/2023 23:11

You must feel so free.
Great work, well done.

I am so happy for you. I can imagine how hard to lose your husband then go thru bankruptcy. You did it! Congrats 👏 I'm sure your husband is looking down so proud

FFSwhatisthis · 21/07/2023 23:55

I'm so sorry to hear about your DH.

congratulations on paying the bankruptcy off!!!!

hopefully you can spoil yourself a little bit, then save a good amount instead.

well done 👏🏻

Dontjudgeme101 · 21/07/2023 23:56

Congratulations op. 💐💐💐😒

honeyfox · 21/07/2023 23:56

That's massive, well done. So sorry for your loss x

MinnieTruck · 21/07/2023 23:58

Well done you!💐 that’s an amazing achievement and must feel like a weight lifted from your shoulders.

My good news is that I have now decreased both of my overdraft amounts from £1500 to £950. Such a small thing and I still have a little while to go to clear the debt but I’ve had my overdraft on £1500 on two different accounts for 4 years!

milkydress · 21/07/2023 23:59

Wow!!! Amazing 🤩 🎉

IdSell · 22/07/2023 00:14

That really is something to be proud of OP. Well done.

TheSparkling · 23/07/2023 18:11

Thanks for all the kind words. It is such an achievement to have dealt with it and paid it all off now.
And those of you who are dealing debt - keep going, you will get there and don't be afraid to ask for help either.

I think someone asked what I'm doing to celebrate? This weekend has mostly been ferrying teens around and cleaning but my boyfriend and I have booked a trip to Krakow for Dec. So we have something to look forward to!

Do you live outside the UK OP? Well done with clearing the bankruptcy payments.

Lwrenagain · 24/07/2023 07:54
