    Hi Scarlet,
    It was my redundancy money that I spent on furniture, etc. :o

    In that case then I don't think you've got too much to worry about :) The OR will likely ask what you spent that money on - just be honest in that you bought essential household items. It would be different if you'd bought it all on cedit, but you didn't so please don't worry :D
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Proud to be BSC no. 103

    Hi all,

    My £25,000 debt was accrued through a loan, two overdrafts, four credit cards and a store card. I was originally on a DMP with CCCS and got it down to just over £18,000 but then got forced to go part time at work so will be declaring BR on 9th March. Then I can start over :D

    :D BR - 9th March 2009 :D
    ED - 22nd September 2009 :j

    I owed £7083. Doesn't seem like that much, but it's nice to know it's gone now. I will however owe 18k when I finish my degree. Ho hum.
