Unable to pay

Hi,

Im unable to pay my debts! Not sure how many debts I have as they have all been passed onto debt collection agencies! Im in aroung £4,000 to £7,000 debt. I'm on a low income and after my rent, basic bills and food are paid I'm left with £50/60 a month which is no where near my debt re-payments - However I am willing to move back into my mothers home to reduce this which will up the payment to about £100/£200

Im not sure what I can do, as Im not sure what debts I have - I know its very very silly of me not knowing but Ive been keeping my head in the sand for a while until now and Ive realised how stupid Ive been! Can the CAB tell me what debts I have?

Is there any loans, payment plans or anything like that where I can make it all into one monthly payment??
Help me!
:o

    Hi there
    Well done for posting here thats the first step you shoud try one of the free charities National Debt Line CCCS or CAB they will ask you to do a SOA which you can post here and someone will be along to advise you shortly they will then help you work out a payment to offer your creditors but only after you have paid for Mortgage Rent Food and Utility bills even if its only £1 a month but do give them a call and hang on in there they are very busy with lots of people in the same position you are not alone
    Good Luck
