Well i finally had a bit of a 'light-bulb moment' and strangely i am so glad i did!!!
I have worked out i owe around £5000 on things ranging from old mobile phone contracts to catalogues.
So while feeling confident and the like i rang every single debt collection company with a payment plan idea, and thankfully they all agreed
So even though im now paying out around £100 a week i know it wont take long to pay off and i can start afresh next year. And never never ever have a catalogue again!!!!!
