    Just wantd to say Hiya.

    I'm a newbie myself, but I'm sure some of the experienced peeps will be along shortly.

    One thing I have picked up from messages I've read is to do a SOA (Statement of Account) and list your debts along with the APR and the payments you're making. Post it on here and people can have a look and offer advice and suggestions

    Yep. A statement of affairs will help us to work out what can be done.

    Have a look at the CCCS website it has a debt remedy thingy on it which you can fill in and it will give you some options for your debt. I ahve a DMP with them and all interest has been stopped on my debts so i am gradually reducing what I owe.
