    Very best of luck.

    Telling the other half is the best way. I kept it from mine for 4 years and it only came out because she happened to see my bankstatement showing payment to the management company (yes I know I shouldn't have but at the time I didn't know about all the other help!!). Anyways, after the initial shock of not telling/lieing etc she was great. She remortgaged the house to pay off my debt and her credit card (about 16k for me and 1k for her) and we are now debt free for the last year (excluding interest free car loan and mortgage)

    I got my first credit report through last week and my last bad debt will expire in Nov 2006 woot!! :)
