Help Needed I've Been Stupid

I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place but....

I was made unemployed in Oct last year after an accident, and decided to take a out a payday loan to get me by (foolish i know). I was off work longer that I thought I would be so had to take out another payday loan to pay off the first one. It then spiraled abit from there and I now owe about £500 to Tooth Fairy finance, which is due at the end of the month. I also owe about £500 to Wonga, which was due a week ago but I managed to pay about half of that back.

I start work next month but it will be only part time till the Holiday Park starts getting busier over Easter and then towards the summer.

I realize I have been stupid and deserve what has happened to me. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to before the bailiffs and the court orders start arriving??

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

    You won't be getting bailiffs so don't worry about that,you need to contact them and explain your circumstances.

    I haven't logged onto MSE for ages, I'm lucky life's good finances are great but reading through many of the answers to the cries for help makes me think this site has changed. Sad
