What this sheet is for

Get every debt onto one page with the real figures from the statements, and keep a record of what has actually been paid off.

Who it is for

Anyone paying down more than one debt and wanting to see all of it in one place.

How to use it

  1. Write every debt down, including the ones you would rather not.
  2. Copy the rate and balance from the statement, not from memory.
  3. Record the minimum as well as what you actually pay.
  4. Update balances monthly, on the same day, from the statement.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Which debt should I pay off first?

This sheet does not say, and will not. The right answer depends on rates, charges, what is secured, what is in arrears and what happens to you if a particular one goes unpaid — and getting it wrong does real harm. Free, regulated debt advice is available in most countries and is worth far more than a printable. What this sheet does is put the facts in one place so that conversation is quicker.

Is it safe to write all this on paper?

It is your judgement. Paper cannot be hacked, but it can be read by anyone who finds it. If you share a home and would rather not have it seen, keep it somewhere considered.
