  • Hi

    I'm new too, so can't offer much in the way of advice, but have you tried speaking to CCCS? They are really good and are a charity run organisation so it's free for advice.

    I hope someone comes along with more relevant information for you soon.

    Hi
    If you post your SOA (sticky at the top) we can look at your budget and help you get out of this trap.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
  • As mentioned, give CCCS (Consumer Credit Counseling) a call. They have been very helpful to me. They are a debt charity, so are free. If you google them, have a looksie at their website :-) There is also your local CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) who can advise you. But whatever you do, don't take out anymore payday loans or loans of any sort to pay off your current debt. It will only spiral even more out of control.

    Hi sick of debt. I would certainly not use churchwood, they will charge you monthly fees to help you get rid of your debts - which sounds crazy doesn't it? they'll actually be helping you stay in debt because that money would be better going to your creditors. I'd contact one of the debt charities who will do the same but for free and will give you impartial advice. As others have mentioned CCCS are one of the charities. IMPORTANT - Where to seek professional impartial advice about your debts.

    You might also want to have a read of this thread, as if you can't afford your repayments then you need to open a new bank account - Dealing with Payday Loan Companies
