    Two bits of advice for you.
    Firstly make a statement of affairs - all income and all expenditure and post it on the debt free wannabe board,
    Secondly make an appointment with CAB or National debt helpline and talk to an adviser.

    Try not to go down the arrangement to pay route if you can as this is viewed nearly as badly as defaults and the like. Good luck,
