  • i would second washers suggestion of talking to someone like cccs and thinking about a dmp as with your amount of debt and the amount you could pay per month to creditors you could possibly be debt free in 4 year this is in theory and based on them not adding charges and interest i think its worth talking to someone and finding out your options

    Any chance you could sell your car and buy a cheaper one, that could clear one of your cards immediately.

    I have added comments in above, even with the suggested savings I have mentioned above, its a very tight soa, I would suggest you call the CCCS, a debt charity and see about a DMP (debt management plan). Take alook at the website, its very useful.

    Cheers I have filled it all in & will speak to them later. I am stuck with some of my items due to contacts :( We also both have the pre payment cards for perscrtiptions and we both have 3 a month so it is around £25. We have started to buy clothes from charity shops to save money as well :) Thanks for the hints and tips we wil take them all on board, thanks for your time and help
