  • The best thing is to look at all your options with one of the debt charities.

    Might also be worth getting in touch with the local Citizen's Advice.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    hi there
    as previous said, you should contact one of the free debt charities such as the national debtline, cccs or the cab.

    if you are being made redundant, are you due a redundancy payment?
  • i started of full of worry when i started to look at my money problems. i started with a call to the national debt line they were really helpful. Then i went to the cab and booked an appt with the debt adviser. It did take some time to get the appt but was worth the wait.

    i would not worry to much i think its best to try and see it as just paper work and nothing that will really be that bad. sometimes good comes from bad.
