Need some advice

I currently have loans with beneficial finance - pay £264 til jan then paid off.
welcome finance - 100 a month for another 2 years

i was managing these fine until on holiday a year ago i got a payday via online when i was skint. now im in loads of debt due to this.

I owe 6 companys

paydayuk -300+interest
quickquid - 100 + interest
lending stream - 100 + interest
wagedayadvance - 300 + interest
wonga - 250+interest
paydayexpress - 200+interest

3 of these were recent due to a death very close and i lost the plot a bit (eg gambling, drinking weekends away) but im sorted now apart from this HUGE hole. im trying to get a loan with REAL personal finance waiting for them to get backto clear the payday loans. im 24 and i take home 1070 a month. my parents cant afford to pay them and wouldnt ask a mate

if i cant get this loan what can i do.im startin to stress

thanks

    I'd contact one of the independent debt charities often referenced on this site, you are going to need some help above and beyond what anyone here can do for you in an advice forum.

    i can't advise you which is best or even who they all are as this is not my area of expertise but this one has been mentioned on this site quite often.

    http://www.cccs.co.uk/

    There are others on here who can give you far better advice on which debt charity is best etc, hopefully some of them will be along soon, other than that open a thread on the debt free wannabe board as i'm sure you will get some good advice there.

    Wonga??Those are the crooks who charge 2,689% APR so in your shoes I'd try and get rid of the highest interest debts first...

    All of them are dodgy, IMHO

    Cheers & Sorry to hear your story...

    What might help is if you post up your details on the Debt free Board. The peeps on there will offer you help and advice on how to cut down on your spending and a way to start repaying these Pay Day Loans.

    I am sorry for your predicament and hope you manage to get it sorted.
