skiprat1977

Hi there and thanks in advance for any help and sorry if its in the wrong place.

I have recieved today a NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPLY FOR A WARRENT OF ENTRY because i am in debt with scottish power owing them £596.30
I am on income support / incapacity benefit and dont know how to deal with tis debt, I know it is a priority debt but my self and my partner have lots of other debts and are struggeling to get out of debt,
Any info on how to get this sorted without making us more into debt with other creditors, we are trying to get everything sorted out to make a debt plan and hopefully get out of debt soon
I am suffering with depresion for over 3 years now and all this worry from debt is not helping me at all, hence why i want to get things sorted out quick

Thanks

You really need to cotact your local CAB/Welfare rights for help with this.
Please do it as soon as you can

Thanks for the info, I got the bottle to telephone scottish power and they were suprisingly nice, They have agreed to fit a pre payment meter, and take £5 per week from it, Now i guess now i will have to put money onto it to cover what we are using aswell as the outstanding debt??
This might be a problem some other debts will have to get offered a lower payment so we can put enough money onto the new meter to cover 2 weeks between benefit payment days.

Anyways thanks for your help, it was much needed
