prepayment debt help

lee5768

you should go your local citizens advice centre and speak to there debt advisers
they may be other options

some people in debt such as yourself can apply to the likes of united utilities trust fund for a grant to totally pay this debt off

but to get the full low down you would have to see the CAB they know what is available in your area

obviously them taking £15 a week is going to be devastating to someone in your situation as it will end up costing you a lot more

they should never have let it get this far tbh

I'm not clear if £15 is the amount agreed to pay off the debt, or includes ongoing usage.

that will be the recovery rate as its prepayment.
