    hiya busy bee :) you are in the right place so big welcome :hello:

    I would say the first thing to do is to write up your SOA. read southern scousers "sticky" first time posters.

    thats all your
    INCOME
    then all of your OUTGOING include everything
    then
    DEBTS with APRs inculde all, including money you owe to freinds/ family/ papershop etc.

    then we can take it from there

    dont panic, take your time, have a nice :coffee: there will always be someone here to help

    hang in there

    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • Instead of a loan what about the life of balance card, I think M&S do one and the interest is something like 3.9%?
  • Hiya,

    How much is outstanding on all 3 c/cards? And what are the aprs?

    Also how long is left on the loan, and what is the apr?

    Hang on in there, we will work through this!
