If you click on User CP there will be the option to Edit Signiture, basically you can add whatever you want and play around with colours and fonts. You then will have to update it yourself when you start to see your debt drop!Debt-Free Wannabe / Long Haul Supporter 238 - Proud to be Dealing with my DebtsLBM Moment June 2010 DMP with CCCS Started August 2010Total Debt at LBM = £17,602.74 / Current Debt = £16,285.76 / Cleared = £1.316.98 (7.5%)0 -

Agreed.
jelly..
Can you cut that cable TV or reduce it?
Get your daughter to make a contribution?
Look very careful at the life insurance and see a) whether you still need everything it offers for example does it offer decreasing amounts to cover the mortgage or the old value,whether you can get what it offers cheaper elsewhere?
The priority is that Next account.
Go round the house and find things you no longer use. Then work out how to flog them most effectively. You may well be able to clear the next account from your sales.
Get yourself, OH and DD doing clicks and surveys and that might earn you £100 per month between you which does not affect benefits or tax. I think reviews and mystery shoppping are taxable income.

Hi Jelly,
Not really in a position to help with the advice against the debts, as I am all very new to this!
However, I am a life insurance adviser and could give you a hand to see if there is a possibility to make a saving? Clearly no obligationbut if you do want a bit of help let me know.

Hi, well done for facing up to your problem and getting your SOA up to scratch.
Here is the next step to freedom! http://www.whatsthecost.com/snowball.aspx
Put your debts into this calculator (make sure the aprs are correct-check your statements) It will tell you which order to pay them off in and (and this is the scarey bit) how many months until you are debt free. You can keep this on your computer and update it every so often if you can overpay through selling off some stuff.
Good luck:beer:0
