    worth checking the figure.....IF you then fall under the DRO limit it's cheaper than bankruptcy BUT you must include all creditors (if you forget one & they come later its not covered by the DRO)

    You will be able to get a reduction of £150 by filling in form EX160A.

    THE £365 you will have to find or see if you can get help from a charity.

    You've had some excellent replies to the phone question on another thread so I won't add to that.

    Can I ask if you have any credit left on your credit cards or overdraft though?
