(REF MY PREVIOUS POST) REFUSED CREDIT ... Next step to re-mortgage??

Many thanks for all the advice given to me on my previous question on re-mortgage / to consolidate etc .. I know what your all saying is exactly right that debt on top of debt is not the answer to my problem.

I know the REAL answer is to pay these debts off !!

My dilema is how to shuffle my debts around and make my monthly payments smaller , because that really is the issue i need to address.

As mentioned before (without boring you with irrelevant info) my debts have occurred since my encounter with self employment recently went belly up !
Only recently when i put pen to paper did i realise my current incomings are 95% plus all going on household bills and credit repayments.

One way is to transfer my credit cards onto a 0% card but having just been refused credit i'm hanging back on that one .

I know theres no magic wand and the obvious answer is to carry on paying these debts off which i will do but i need to reduce my monthly payments as at the moment like i said at the end of all my outgoing payments there is literally not a penny left.

NO VIOLINS PLEASE SORRY TO DEPRESS YOU ALL !!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.
