We've had 2 replies back so far (Tradepro) & (Ten Alps Publishing). Tradepro are coming to an agreement.
Ten Alps won't accept the offer & have also added on £352.50 saying they can't cancel the last ad. They are now wanting £129 within the next 14 days (Which we simply don't have). We offered them £10 per month for the moment, but as other debts get paid off the payments will go up accordingly.
Our outstanding balance with them as gone up from £1,195.11 to £1,547.61, they're saying they will only accept mthly payments of £128.97 over 12 mths. :mad:Total Debt (£23,069.63) as of Aug 08

Well the VAT people finally got in touch with us.
They've given me a number to De-Register from VAT, so i rang today & the form should be with us in 5-10 days. When it's filled in & we've sent it back they'll see what the total amount we owe @ that time is. But the guy i spoke to said we'll prob have a lot better chance of them accepting the payments of £200 per month until we can afford more. Which i said we'd be able to do as other things get paid off, etc.
So looks like theres light @ the end of the tunnel finally.Total Debt (£23,069.63) as of Aug 08
