Plan of Action Needed

Liccle_Sarah
Posts: 1 Newbie
Can anybody please help me out on how i can put a plan together to deal with my debts as i really dont know where to turn for the best. I have pasted my SOC below. I currently live with my partner who pays all, bills mortgage etc. I currently pay him £300 a month to contribute. I have a number of debts on credit cards with my Halifax one @ £4200 causing me the most problems as the minimum repayment is over £100 a month. I also have a loan with £7000 left to pay not due to end until 2012. I am unsure what to do as i have already transferred £2000 onto a 0% card which was the maximum they would let me transfer at the time. I should have a good redit rating as i have never been late or missed any payments. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
Groceries is for how many?
Do you not have a mobile or landline?
And you really need to halve that entertainment budget.
Also read the boost your income thread on the front page, for ideas on how to get a bit extra.
And put every penny towards that Virgin card as it is the most expensive.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
Entertainment seems high.
