  • Hi

    Ok, first of all relax.

    Second - STOP phoning the payday loan companies. They are experts at making you feel like brown smelly stuff and are not helping your situation or your health and state of mind.

    Remember they are only going to look out for themselves. You need to start looking out for YOU!

    You need to go into your bank right away (or cash point) and empty it of any money you have in there already. This will give you something for food/petrol etc.

    Next you need to report your card as STOLEN (don't just cancel it which is what the CCCS are referring to or say you lost it).

    ....

    You must then go into another bank (not associated with any of your current debts) and open up another bank account.

    Do this today if you can, tomorrow if you can't. You can open a basic account in branch immediately (you will need some ID, check with which one you go to whats needed).

    Once this is done you can pay in the money you have just taken out and arrange with your payroll people to have the next possible pay run paid into this account.

    Instruct payroll IN WRITING, keep a copy and state that under no circumstances must they pay into your old account. This is important
