Have you spoken to cccs,national debtline or your local cab? I think this is your first port of call. From what you have put down lloyds seems to be your only "large" debt. It may be a case of tightening your belt for a year or two and getting the lower ones paid off. At 21 you have plenty of time to study. Bc is not always the answer,it should be seen as what it is, a last resort. There are many drawbacks to bc that can and will affect your life for years to come. Make that call(they are busy so you will have to keep trying)and see what they suggest.Dx
PS Try posting on the DFW and see if they can suggest anything.Free impartial debt advice available from: National Debtline - Tel: 0808 808 4000 | The Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) - Tel: 0800 138 1111 | Find your local Citizens Advice Bureau
