The Telewest bill seems very high. I have Telewest's 2mb broadband, phone including all geographic calls, and TV, for around £55 per month - less than half what you are paying, and I am not being given any kind of special offer. I think you need to check with them.

I have tv, broadband and phone from telewest and never pay more than£60 a month with Sky sports 1 and 2, you can cut this by at least half.
Your debts, although they seem bad to you are quite small, you just need to cut back and you will soon see them gone.
Cancel the gym membership, sort telewest out, an extra £140 a month at least....

What can I do short term I get paid Monday, my current balance is -£794.81 I only have a agreed OD of £500 so when my wages of £1136.80 go in Monday that leaves me with £841.77 available balance my rent & secure homes payments are £864.69, so I dont even have enough money for these two bills, I have no money for electric, gas, food etc...

Is that why your telewest bill is so high cos you are going through securehomes? Seems a bit crazy to me

wiggyuk

no secure homes charges less than £20 a month for there services, the reason the Telewest bill is so much is because the telephone bill is always high from phoning mobiles.

Wiggy, sorry I dont get this. Is Securehomes an organisation that you pay to pay your bills for you?
Ive never heard of it before? what do they do that you cant do yourself?

Sorry. here

It looks like a rip off to me

Just something no one seems to have mentioned. Cancel the pet insurance and save the £10 in a savings account. Then you will be able to pay cash if your pet gets sick and if hopefully, it doesnt, you will be able to keepthe money.
