Hi all
I've been lurking on the boards for a while and have found a lot of help on here. I have been struggling along attempting to pay my debts for several months now. After a meeting with a CAB advisor it appears bankruptcy is my best option:eek:
Its a very scary prospect but I guess its better than struggling as I am at the moment. I am going to cancel all my DD for my none priority debts on either monday or tuesday and start saving for the fees, so I'll be on here a fair bit asking for advice and whatnot during the process:rolleyes:
