Broken foot (ow)

Problems problems! Deep in debt (as most people seem to be) With a 48k morgage and 31k on loans and credit cards. We were just about managing with me taking two jobs and me and my wife starting an internet website selling games. Been working 10 hours on a loading truck achy legs ready for home. Had a little stretch as I turned into the racking then looked behind me to see what I'd hit. Only managed to sandwich my foot between the iron roof support and the truck. Five days later I'm back home with a whole set of mechano in my foot and lots of pain looking at 2 months recovery. Looks like neither of my jobs pays proper sick pay. Do I get ssp off both or just the main one? Do I look into suing as the training I receaved on that truck was none existent? and when now or when I'm ready for work. Then we come to the finances. The website is pulling in about £80 a week profit. We do also have an a1 credit rating . Do we contact all the cards and banks and ask for a payment holiday? Would this affect our rating or cause the bank to call in the overdraft ect. Any advice would be welcome.:beer:
you go all your life thinking that money and comfort will bring you happiness only to find all you need is something to be enthusiastic about.:j

Hi greencatrus
Firstly hope you have a speedy recovery!
Secondly you have a wide range of questions/problems in your post, which mya be why you haven't received a reply yet. I'm going to move you over to the Benefit Board as they have some post on SSP there. When you've got that sorted, you may find it easier posting about credit cards on their own in the Credit Card Board. As for the issue of suing, hopefully someone may be able to help with that as you move around the site
