Hi,
Please see my comments above
Candy xxxDebts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,0000 -
I wasn't expecting a response! I thought I was stuffed!
I will start selling things of on ebay very soon. As for scratchies I'm just scratching my head, I don't know what that is. I also don't know what you mean by cashback.
The loan is difficult as it is secured to my parents as is my rent.
Council tax is a long story, please see my other thread about the bailiffs.
The food bill is getting better as I have been buying veg from the market and other things from Iceland which has turned into a pound shop. As for rice, I eat a lot of rice as my wife is Chinese.
I'm lucky most of my bills are included in the rent.0 -
Can you claim housing and council tax benefit?0
-
The application is processing for benefit. Long story there.
