  • firstly well done for deciding you want to get out of debt, there are a few things to do so that people on here can give the best advice. Firstly you need to work out how much you owe, and what you are paying every month.

    Best way is to fill out a SOA (statement of affairs). I'm sure someone will post the link for you, then someone more experienced than me can help!

    As a start try to stay away from consolidation or paying for debt advice - search online for CCCS or Payplan or visit your local Citizens Advice for free help.

    Hi Daniel,

    You might want to have a look at this as a starting point: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....html?t=107280

    Once you have done that you might want to post your SOA so that people can help you

    Hope you get things sorted and good luck with the baby

  • Your options are:

    DMP (debt management plan) or a DRO as I see it. Post your SOA and we can all help
