ummmm 30k for me mostly credit cards and loans not sure were it all went wrong

but now on the road to recovery:j :j Proud to be dealing with my debtSISTER £400VANQUIS CC £3,0000 -
The total sum is £19127 +/- a few pounds(this is the latest figure).I gone Bankrupt with £ 18285 in September and some of my creditors are still adding charges and interest.(Go figure, OR said do not worry, not my problem anymore).All this was CCs and an overdraft+Freemans/Grattan catalogue account(£105).
Ps: I saved from September nearly £500:j.Really proud of myself.:p“Money often costs too much.”

If it wasn't for NR I wouldn't be going BR!
Hmmm, I've read that somewhere before.:rotfl:0 -
Just shy of 151K of unsecured debt. All on credit cards, loans and overdrafts. Got nothing to show for it either!?
Go figure!

Can I just ask any of those with really high levels of credit card/loan debt (say above £100k) if they are now on BRU/BROs as a result?
I'm not judging in any way (my own BR was ultimately down to my financial incompetence after all)...just curious as to how it's viewed.0 -

I hope there is no nasty sting in the tail before AD. Then life can begin again:j0 -
32K - plus student debt that can't be included........... might disappear if the country goes bust though!! Accumulated debt from trying to keep going through illness and being a single parent full time student! Going BR was the best decision I made!0
