Presenting…the Carnival of Debt Reduction #54

Hi Everyone! Here’s the Carnival that hits close to home for me, and I’m proud to be hosting it this week. I’d like to give everyone a big thank you for your submissions. Without further ado, here’s 16 juicy debt articles for your reading pleasure (my comments in italic).

Just having a quick look at your blog and I think this link might be useful for many people, it shows you how to legally reclaim all your excessive bank charges from the past 6 years for FREE. I used it and it worked really well. Iâ€™m not sure but i think it only works for the UK and Ireland, anyway keep up the good work.
