Hmmm you may have missed recent events peka, but if the debts are with a big bank it was never there money in the first place.:rolleyes:
they lent what they didnt have, It never actually existed, hence the need for a govermant bailout:DThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -

Course I don't mind - I am an open book..... £16k and there is an old Statute Barred debt for £4k......
I really do think the amounts aren't particularly relevant.....it is whether you can afford to pay them back or whether a DMP or IVA is viable. For a lot of people it just isn't and BR is the only option. I was one of them.
When I looked at some of the posters on the DFW board paying off £2k a month I felt a failure before I started. After outgoings my surplus is £90 a month. Go figure......
So there you are.....2011 - New year, New start, New me[STRIKE]Planning on [/STRIKE] making my dreams a reality0 -

Tried CCCS advice and rang a few of my creditors today explaining the situation that I dont have anything left after paying essential bills
Offered the token £1 till things improve
Was basically told to P Off by a few
One even said that if i dont come up with a suitable payment arrangement they are selling my debt on in the next 4 to 5 months
Greedy Greedy Greedy they have already charged me 29% interest over the past 10 years
Looks like Bankruptcy is my only option but scared of that
good of them to give you a target date....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -

I Know
Going to hopefully try for bankruptcy date either end of next week or week after as my court has those dates available
Just need to pull together the costs and get my bankruptcy forms checked by cab or solicitor
Just cant cope with the stress and the bills anymore

hiya betterlife,
It's such a shame some people are so quick to judge someone who has got into such a difficult situation through trying to run a business that BR is their only real option,
It must be lovely to sleep at night with such a clear conscience it's been so long since I've been able to sleep properly with all the stress and worry that I cant remember.
Good luck betterlife with BR xxBig Thanks to all who post on the comps board0
