    Are you not on speaking terms with your mum? If the catalogue is her debt she needs to should pay it!
    I am guessing the catologue is in your name?

  • Im thinking of quitting my night time one, as its killing me and just asking for some overtime in my daytime job.
    The gym is my only means of entertainment really to be honest.
    The £50 entertainment, is random pub meals etc.
    Turn £100.00 into £1000.00
    Decided to start off with things in house, as i have no money!

    No, she's dead to me. I've asked her to pay, but theres no proof the stuff is hers, as she left them behind when she moved.

    Then the entertainment needs to stop. You can`t afford luxeries right now.
    I know it sounds really `boring` but to get out of debt you have to throw everything you can at the debts.

    I had to give up everything to clear mine or i would never of done it, at 19 you have a lot of debt, clear it now while you can.

    Goodluck x

    What did she leave behind when she left? if its anything bought with a catalogue in your name have you tried selling it to put towards the repayments.

    How long are you on your course for? and how soon will you finish paying for your course fees?

    Im finished the course, will be paying it for 36 months.
