Hi, im very new to all this so very confused.
Ive been on few sites looked at debt help and went round in circles.
I owe £3000 over draft, £5000 credit card and £9000 loan.
Im not a home owner and have £180 left each month.

Hi
Can you meet your current minimum repayments on your debts?
Have you tried completing a detailed budget/statement of affairs to see what you need for living costs and how much you have left for debt repayments? If not this would be a sensible starting point - see this link - http://www.makesenseofcards.com/soacalc.html
and also worth a read of this thread -
The Big Guide to Becoming Debt FreeA smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
As Tixy rightly already said, the Big Guide is good and you should show us your SOA (there is a button to format for MSE). There is no debt problem without a solution, something will be right for you, we just need a little more info before we help you identify which solution.I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

Hi After ive paid everything petrol rent other bills im left with £180. Plus £20 for myself.
My credit card min balance is £105 and my loan payment is £155 so they come to £260 im £80 short each month.
Would like a debt consolidation loan but hard to find a site all i find is people that search for you and they ring you like 100 times a day.0 -
Honestly 25, we need your details to be able to help. There is so much expertise on this forum that there will be a solution, it might not be pretty but it will work if you try.
The other thing you might think about doing is a spending diary, all the little things add up, you might not think you spend any money, I do it, I'll just have a coffee, **or another pint**
Once we have your SOA it will be scarey and unpleasent but nessesary to know where you are.
Good luck

Whats the point of consolidating your debts, you still have to pay them? As already pointed out- more details would help.;)Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!0
