    Firstly, welcome to MSE, You need to add groceries into your SOA and something for clothing.

    Before I comments on the SOA, why is the natwest CC monthly payment £280 on a £3300 debt, this seems far too high.

    Hi thank you..
    groceries and clothing are funded by my partner who is not included in the SOA. Its a nationwide cc and this high as its a ccj.

    Ok, I've had a quick look, if you add £300 per month for groceries, you are almost £1K short each month, there is no way on earth you are going to save that by reducing a wee bill here and there. You need professional help and very urgently I would say.

    Offer token Payments to your unsecured creditors, you must pay the mortgage/secured loans/council tax/gas/electricity and water and buy food, that is your priority now, everyone else will have to take a token payment. I don't think you can add your parents loan into a DMP though?

    You can contact the CCCS (a debt charity) who will help you for free also, take a look at their website, a wealth of knowledge on there. Does your partner know about the debt?
  • FSCC
    FSCC Posts: 10 Forumite

    Hi :hello:

    The mortgage is the killer here and lack of budgeting for food,
    There is no way I can get £600 a month extra, your OH needs to try and find some work

    Put your numbers through this
