Debt help needed

Posts: 2 Newbie
Never been on anything like this before, but need advice.
I have debt of 35K, and dont know where to turn. Really struggling with repayments, and at times drawing money from credit cards to pay other cards (bad i know).
Had a loan company round tonight (have 7days cooling of period) for a secured loan.
Dont know if this is the way to go. Any advice ?

Hi Shell
Welcome to mse, i certainly wouldnt go for a loan but the good folks of dfw will need some more details from you. Someone will be along soon i'm sure.
Good luck

Hi Shell
Welcome to the forum
Borrowing your way out of debt is not the answer, especially with a secured loan.
Start off here, complete your SOA (Statement of affairs) the members will assist as and where required.
Also, take a look at my signature and contact one of the debt charities for further assistance with your debts.Click here for Martins (MSE) advice on who to contact with Debt Issues - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO USE A FEE PAYING DEBT MANAGEMENT COMPANY- THEY CANNOT DO ANYMORE FOR YOU THAN THOSE LISTED IN MY LINK ABOVE.
All information given by myself is offered informally and without prejudice - if in doubt seek help from a qualified and insured professional0 -
The secured loan is a VERY bad idea.
Suggest you cancel, and then contact one of the organisations in 10past6's click-through
You're probably going to need a debt management plan with a fee-free company.0 -
Thanks for advice. Have cancelled the loan. Links given are very useful. Thanks again, i may get a good night sleep 2night.:D0
