Debt Help
Hi all, I made a post not long ago regarding my situation.

I am wondering what next step I should take? I have cancelled the direct debit to the loan and credit…

Partial Settlement Offers, one refused, enough to pay another one in full
Hello, I am on a DMP with 3 loans and offered the same percentage to the 3 of them for full and final settlement. 1 of them refused my offer and asked for a higher percentage.

PayPal Negative Balance and Debt
Hello! I made a similar topic on another forum, but I figured out that asking as many people as possible could only help. Last week I was gambling and lost control. I gambled away all of my savings (I have already spoken with GamCare about that). On top of that, PayPal (via Direct Debit) somehow managed to debit me several…

I’m probably a bit on the spectrum and very focussed on numbers/finance/debt and can be a bit obsessive about it. It’s not necessarily about greed or an accumulation of wealth for the sake of feeling rich - but I do get…
