Hi MortgageHelp,
Try speaking to a free debt charity like CCCS for some help. They know what they are talking about so can offer the best advice for you.
Hope this helps

Hi
Are you up to date with repayments on these items so far (aside from the overdraft with solicitors)?
The first piece of advice would usually be to draw up a financial statement of affairs to see your full situation. http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html If you post the results on here you may find people can suggest ways to free up other cash so you can afford more than the £100. Or at least we will see your full situation to see what solution might work for you.
Have you been in touch with any of the debt charities? - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2077631A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
