CCCS are helping me but i would welcome support!

Well I got myself into a state... but it seems I'm not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

My statement of affairs.... summarised
Monthly income
3393
budget including priority debt and living expenses
2487
Payments to unsecured debtors, loans CCs and store cards
1772
Shortfall
-866
Suggested payment to creditors by CCCS (applied for)
906
This leaves me with £317 per month, to feed, clothe, launder, entertain and care for myself and my two !!!!!!s. What do you think guys? does that seem like a lot to you? This hasnt really bitten yet. I am writing everything down in a book and going for the cheaper options as much as i can at supermarket and market.

Any comments gratefully received.

  • Daily clicks? Every time i look at these survey sites they just seem to be a way of collecting my details and sending me more spam? I would welcome information on anything genuine that would help. Thank you. :)

  • Can you post up a full SOA for us to see? I know you say you have already done this for CCCS which is great but for us to be able to advise you on where you can make savings, we need to see what you are currently spending where
