    Is there any way you can increase your income, that is very low? Also are you entitled to any benefits? WOuld help if you gave a bit more info, are you renting etc, and what are your bills for utilities?

    You are missing a lot from your SOA:

    rent
    bills, i.e. elec, water, gas, council tax
    TV licence
    landline bill
    internet
    clothes/haircuts
    entertainment/going out
    contents insurance?


    Are you paying PPI on any of the debts?
    Do you have any savings/investments?
    Are you living with your parents (hence the no rent/council tax bills?)

    What are the outstanding balances and APR on your debts?

    Can you increase your income at all?
