  • I have contacted many of my creditors today, and none of them were interested! Do I just leave them to it and contact one at a time when I have the funds for a F & F payment?

    I think this is likely to be my best option.

    If most of your debts are not adding to your debt by charging interest, have already defaulted you so can't make your credit rating any worse AND are not even asking you to pay I think your best bet would be to pay off the ones who want to be paid and then save determinedly so that should they ask to be paid before the debts go statute barred you can make sensible offers. Makes a change from the people on here who are being pestered daily or taken to court.

    The septic tank is emptied regular...the local farmer does it! (Disgusting I know, but he uses it for his fields!) He doesn't charge either. But still......ewwww!

    Errrr....... You have checked he's registered, haven't you, as it's quite highly illegal otherwise! Lots of regulations about human waste! :eek:
