My Husband and I have lots of debt and a house that is not worth what we have in it and needs a good 20k spending on it in repairs, we are behind on the mortgage and can not keep up with the other payments. Tried seeking advice from ccss which gave us a budget and sample letters but that was it and getting an appointment at the citizen advice is impossible. I would welcome any advice. Thank you

I went to CAB, I only had to wait a week for an appointment but it was well worth the wait as they help you all the way. So don't give up just try again for appointmentSealed Pot Number 018 🎄2009..£950.50 🎄2010..£256 🎄 2011..£526 🎄2012..£548.80 🎄2013...£758.88🎄2014...£510 🎄2015...£604.78 🎄2016...£704.50 🎄2017...£475 🎄2018...£1979.12 🎄2019...£408.88🎄2020...£1200.63...🎄2021…£588 🎄2022 £672… 🎄2023 £3,783.90 🎄2024…£3,882.57🎄20250

Keep trying the nation debt line but so far no luck. Did the debt remady on cccs, told us we can't meet our living costs and to make token offers to the people we owe money to, but I can't see our situation improving any time soon to make things better and to pay of the debt.0
