in Credit cards
Hi - I need some advice.
In short I have lost my job and need some cash from somewhere to cover me over till I start working again.
My income is the standard job seekers benefit (£70/wk).
My debts are:
=£8000 on credit card. I have stopped payments on this in line with Credit Counselling Service
=£2000 on overdraft. This is the max.
Not sure where to go now so any suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance

Have a look at the up your income board for some ideas. All I suggest is ebay and carboot things to make some extra cash. xx0/2013

send a recorded letter to each creditor stating your new circumstances and how much you can afford on a monthly basis. I sent a budget sheet with all of mine, but apparently u dont have to do that?! I got mine from http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk
but either way u need to sit down and work out everything to the penny.0
