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.Turn £100.00 into £1000.00

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.
