    Without wanting to be flippant, earn more, spend less and pay off your debts are really the only answers. The debt free wannabe board may have more specific help like working out budgets, producing a statement of affairs etc.. and there are plenty of methods to help you spend less on the essentials and on servicing your debts.

    If you want more than a quick answer I'm afraid you need to post more than a quick question.

    I dont know how much you get but you could have a look round your house for things like clothes you never wear, books you never look at, dvds and videos you never watch etc etc and sell them all on ebay.

    I get £120 per week and I have 2 children to look after and I managed to pay off my credit cards in about a year.
