    my suggestions are hard but until you get a job you cant afford all these things above
    my suggestions saves you £75 that would leave you 74 to make offers to your creditors you need to pay your council tax
    so you could pay 8 creditors £1 leaving the rest £66 to go to your council tax taking 10 months to clear that also includes putting of paying your parents at the moment

    i do agree you should pay for your son but would your ex take less for a while so you can pay council tax quicker

    id also be tempted to go to 0 on entertainment until council tax it paid

    do you have anything to sell? on ebay or at carboot?

    im not sure whether you cccs will help you if you havent got a job

    are there any possibilities of work in the near future?
