old debt....

hello all

this is my first post having been looking aroud the site so go easy on me :D

ive been in debt for the past 10 years with a barclays loan off £8000 which ive got down to £4000 now...
my question is this, it has been taking on by debt managers and they want monthly repayments of £240 according to their budget plan... i know this is to much as some months i struggle with £150 that i pay to churchwood....(i want to leave them), my spending habbits are bad atm. ive tried to get them to go lower as want to clear the debts in 2 years.. but there very stubborn...because i live with my partner they think she can help.. but its my debt and she on maternity leave making less than half what she used to.
any advise on how i can get them to go lower?

cheers
matt
