Hi,
You should contact one of the debt charities for advice - e.g. CAB, CCCS, or National Debtline - they will offer free, impartial advice, and will be able to comment on your specific situation.

I will do. Although I went on debtline website and apples for help online but because balance is under £1000 I couldn't proceed0

Go and see CAB then.
Isn't there something you can sell to bring the balance below the limit?
This will save you a lot in charges.0 -

I agree - at the moment you need to get back within your limit. Do that now and you need to find £28, let it continue for a few months and it will be a several times more ...Gone ... or have I?0 -
you need to look at your spending and to either cut down or increase your income (maybe get a parttime job)
try this budget planner and post up the results

also talk to Vanquis about the situation
it may not help you immediately, but will show you have tried to deal with the situation in any future event.It's a health benefit ...0
