Debt & credit score update (end June 2024)

You can see the June retrospective/wrap-up over on YouTube at this link. In the video I update on debt and credit scores, as well as give a summary of June spending.

First off, let's do a debt update. As ever I'm using the free tool Undebt.it to plan out my debt repayments. I can't recommend this tool highly enough!

  • Total debts: 4 (down from 5 in May 2024)
  • Total owed: £2499.16 (pending a couple of payments due in early July)
For better or worse, I am tracking my credit scores on this financial journey. This is partly because my bank account with Monzo gives me access to two of these scores. (For those in the UK, I made a little video about how much I love Monzo here.)

Here's the update for the end of June:

  • Transunion: 532 (+9 since May 2024)
  • Equifax: 662 (+22 since May 2024)
  • Experian: 578 (first track)

I find this to be an excellent overview of credit scores from DebtCamel, and below is a table from Money Saving Expert.
