    Have you acknowledged any of the debt with your creditors for the past 6 years?
    When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN :D

    What do you mean by younger teens, surely you cannot take any credit out until you were at least 18.

    As it was a bank holiday weekend the board has been very quiet, have a little patience and you will get more help/advice as the week goes on. In the meantime you have been given the best advice possible by iquit.
