    Debt Problems: What to do & where to get help

    Read that before you spend thousands of pounds on something you never needed.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)

    As of the last count I have cleared     [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    I thought you only wanted a loan for 1500?! Now it's Debt Management? Consolidation loan... bet they are a broker and you have to pay an upfront fee -

    Of course they seem good - they want your money :) and like many other companies will at best charge for something you can get for free and at worst can rip you off and leave you in a worse mess.
    Why not try the free places in the link Hannah posted for you rather than wasting cash you haven't got spare?

    You have been given very good advice repeatedly on this forum, both here and on the Loans board. You generally totally ignore it and are too lazy to read anything. No one can help you until you help yourself. You have been told the same things I don't know how many times. If you weren't so lazy and would read even the basic information people take the time to show you to again and again and again you would already know why Ashley Park are a very stupid idea. In fact if you'd taken note the first 20 times you were told or directed to the same things you would be half way out of trouble by now.

    With all due respect Cartman, clearly you can read, so do yourself a favour.

    This forum is for people who want to be debt free. Moving debt around is not the same thing.

    These companies make their money from people in debt. As you can imagine, it is hard work getting money from people who are in debt, so expect to pay a lot for their 'help'. But I suspect their 'help' will not help you as much as if you did not take any 'help' from them and just put the money to paying off your debts.

    I suggest you don't do anything until you have READ every link the helpful people have provided you. Then have sat down and THOUGHT about what to do. Being 19 is not an excuse for making poor decisions when all this help is in front of you. Things will get easier after you get clued up.
