My biggest debt / mistake was taking out a loan for what i thought was £7000 only to realise after that it totalled over £13000 by the time the loan interest and PPI + interest had been added on :eek:One step at a time0

Mine at worst was £75k all on unsecured credit cards,i have had about 15 cards all at once all at the limit ,i only earnt £7k a year and that was when i was working part time at sainsburys, everyone wanted to give me store cards, cards of every type over the last 10 years, i then realised major sacrifice was kids off to nan and grandads and payback time at full time, i am now earning £30k a year as i had to do something ! hard work with 2 kids and a husband ! 3 kids really !Proud to be dealing with my debts
IVA was the best thing we ever did_party_
Shopping was my worst addiction:o and hiding the debts was the worst guilt ever
Hoping to be debt free in 2015 :T
