SOA is a 'statement of affairs' basically a list of your income and expenditure (there is a calculator at www.makesenseofcards.com)
CAB (Citizen's Advice Bureau) and CCCS (Consumer Credit Counselling Service) are both organisations that can help you work out what your next move whould be.
If you post your SOA up on here once you have done it (using the calculator makes it easier for you and us as it means you don't miss bits and we are used to the format) then we can help you find ways to make things a bit more affordable.
It all feels crud at the moment but there will be a way for you to deal with this. Well done for posting.£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

Didn't want to read and run so though I would say, "Hello and good luck."
I agree with what the others have said and think your 1st step should be to post your SOA http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html and all the lovely people on here will be able to help you make cut backsLBM 14/12/06 £21,947.17 DEBT FREE 12/04/09

Well, erm, the idea is to post it up on this thread for everyone to view?Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.

On the SOA there should be a format for MSE forum option at the bottom. Click that and post it on to here.
When putting it into your post on here you may need to delete the blurb at the bottom that says something like 'created using makesenseofcards.com' as you won't be able to post links yet.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
