Can you post a soa so we can suggest ways of cutting back that you may not have already considered?0

Where you are will change your options. But your best bet is to go into a house share for now and then get a 2nd job, and get rid of your debt over the next 2-3 years (unless you're loaded and can do it quicker).0

Maybe your girlfriend has decided she doesn't want to risk living with you as you have financial issues.
As posted on here post you SOA up so people can advise you on what to do to help you pay off your debt, there are far too many post's on here with he or she screwed up my life with debts so do not be surprised by your GF's stance.0 -

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Some harsh messages but probably accurate. Will post an updated SOA asap.0

Have you considered being a property guardian? There are a few companies, including Camelot Property that charge low rent to people who live in properties to deter squatters.
Other low cost options include housing cooperatives but it's only suited to certain types of people as it's not like a conventional tenancy, there are shared responsibilities and decision making. See if there are any locally and if they way they are run appeals to you.0 -
