Problems IPA

Hi All

I had several problems relating to alcohol that put me in Rehab, i was made BR in July 08, and was in Rehab in Sept 08 for a month, i then managed to get a job in October 08 and was ok, I got an IPA in December which i managed to pay for two months, then although i still had a job i didnt really have much to doo so i started using the money for the IPA, this how now gone on for four months now without a payment to them and not a letter from them either. I am now signed off sick as my Alcohol problems have come back. I dont really know which way to turn. I am due to be discharged early in July and am scared that all the old debt problems will come running back. Can anyone please advise. Thanks

    Hi Matt,

    You need to contact your OR ASAP and tell them you're not working, at lease you can get the IPA suspended from now.

    I don't know what will happen to the 4 payments you missed, but it's better to have only missed 4 than carry on burying your head in the sand and miss even more.
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear
