advise please wages dont cover outgoings

hi there im new on here but have a quite good understanding of how i should pay my debt back.

i owe a fair bit over a few lenders as follows

lloyds c/card 4500 apr is 4.9 for 6 months
egg c/card 2k apr is 0 for 13 months
barclaycard 695 apr is 0 for 13 months
halifax loan 297 pcm till may 2010
barclays o/d 950 apr is 17.9 ish only pay off the interest each month
my sister 1k
my man £500

i dont know if its worth writing to my creditiors with a soa so they can see how much i have spare each month (which happens to be nothing ) my wages dont cover my basic payments and i work lots of overtime thru the month

any one advise me further thanks

loopy:confused:

  • Hi and welcome.
    Firstly I would recommend putting a full SOA on here. There may be lots of things people can suggest to help.

  • Hi Loopy,

    before the professionals come along and give some answers, have you thought about selling things like books/cds/dvd on Amazon and all other bits & pieces on Ebay? It can really help and the money you make is extra money to off of your credit cards!

  • i am selling on ebay and amazon got a few things with bids on and im doing the 1k in 100 days challenge started last week, once ive sold this lots of belongings i will have to start looking at buying and selling from other sources. i did have a adult online store but had to shut it down as money became too tight with the credit crunch

    thanks

  • just to let everyone know who might be able to advise me i also owe my partner £500 (washing machine cooker and gas bills )and my sister 1K (to pay credit card when my gran passed away as was an expensive day to go to the funeral)

    my wages are flexibile depending how much overtime i do through the month the most i earnt one month wage 1K (around 70+ overtime that month) but thats the least.

    ive some how managed to get 2 new credit card recently and have transfered the balance of my highest apr card but the other one has ended so my balance is high again but im only paying 4.9 apr i think its only part of the balence tho not all

    i also somehow manage to make the min payments occassionally late and im sometimes over my overdraft but im selling on ebay and hoping to clear the overdrafts i currently have at over 1K

    my man wants me to go onto the mortgage in the next year oct 09 so i would like to avoid a dmp or iva although i would consider both !!!!

    thanks in advance to anyones advice and please ignore the poor grammar and spelling .
