    If you have somewhere to park your car off road then you can sign a SORN form to say it is not in use and parked off the road.

    Then you don;t need to pay tax as long as you are not using the car.

    Tax is already paid so really isnt an option.

    I know that you don't have anywhere to park the vehicle off the road, so this is just for info.

    Even if you have already paid your tax disc, you can remove it, get a form from the post office and send it back to the DVLA. You will get your money back for each whole month that the tax disc is left to run.

    Good luck to you in reducing your debts. :)
    Good, clean fun.... :D

  • Hmmm.. i'm not sure sorry.:confused:

    I've never used Quidco but everyone raves about it!! You'd need some sort of account for the mystery shopping too as they send you a cheque or bacs it inot your account!:rolleyes:

    Can your OH do part time work or is he off full time sick?? (Sorry if you've answered this, havent read ALL 5 pages of the thread) if he can work part time, even if its just a sit down agency work that may help??:D

    Have you looked into registering for cheap calls? I use 1899.com this saves money on your house telephone calls. There is more information on Martin tip about other services.
  • Just to add (sorry)

    I think it would be great for you to sit down and talk face to face with someone at the Citizens Advice Bureau! You could even E-mail them if you couldnt get in to see them... they're meant to be very helpful!:D

    We have a basic bank account now have just signed up for mystery shopping.No my husband is off full time sick but is still employed so he really cant work at the moment otherwise he wouldnt be off at all.We do have a case worker at the cab as thats what we did 3 weeks ago shes just not that helpful we text her today as thats the only way she'll communicate.Hopefully she will get back to me at some point today.
