    I am confused by this. You live alone, yet have no council tax; you have a TV, yet no license. There's no mention of water/gas/electricity/conents insurance at all. You spend £30/month on food, yet entertainment is £200.

    You earn £8,000, but have your money made up to the equivalent of earning £16,500.

    It's confusing.

    have anyone put payday lenders on a DMP will they agree or freeze interest
