Payday loan problems
Comments
-
I got myself into around £10k of unsecured debt in the nineties through overspending after I had to take a salary drop. I liquified as many assets as possible to reduce the debts and then lived as frugally as possible until I cleared all my debts apart from my mortgage.
After that I decided I did'nt like being in debt and threw every spare £ at my mortgage, I have never borrowed another penny since then and I never will. If I cant pay for it I dont have it.
You have significant problems and need to sort yourself out, it is entirely up to you.
My way will not suit everyone - your way will ruin anyone.
I don't know what it means to "liquify assets"....can you please elaborate?0 -
Liquify assets = sell everything you can or don't need that is of some value.
@ OP. Payday loans are simply a rip off. Get rid of the debt ASAP. Pay it off bay any means possible, even if it's a credit card. The worst credit card interest charges are massively less than any short term loan sharks like PayDay Loans.
