            Hi, first off welcome to MSE. As you say you're struggling with debt repayments, I'd recommend going over to the Debt Free Wannabe board which can be found here.
 Begin by reading this thread, which will tell you how to post a statement of affairs (SOA). This a sheet showing all your monthly incomings and outgoings, and if you post it in a thread in DFW then people will advise you where you can cut back, and free up money for debt repayments.
 This is also a good link to read about how to deal with problem debt.
 Hope that helps. 2023 Mortgage-Free Wannabe #19: £11,675.68/£13,000 2023 Mortgage-Free Wannabe #19: £11,675.68/£13,000
