BIG DEBT - Help appriciated

Hi There and thanks for taking the time to read.

For a number of reasons my level of debt has become unmanageable and its spiraling out of control.
Basically I want someone with experience/know how to tell me the best option to take as Im a little naive when it comes to things like this. Debt as follows

  • Northern rock mortgage (int only) £700pm ( £170,000)
  • Northern rock loan £250pm ( £29,500 )
  • Natwest Loan £180 pm ( £7500 )
  • Natwest overdraft £100pm (£5000 )
There the main problems. I have to young children that cost the earth to along with all other living bills taxes etc.


After tax I take home around £1800 per month.


Any advice would be greatly appriciated - please no jump in the river types.


Many thanks:(

  • Welcome .... you've come to the right place for advice & support.

    First step would be to post a full SOA so that we can see exactly what's going in / out and see if there's any areas for cutbacks:

    http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html
    Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
    2016 Sell: £125/£250
    £1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge #78 £3.96 / £1,000
    Vet Fund: £410.93 / £1,000
    Debt free & determined to stay that way!
