What about using some of your time at home (now that you're unable to work outside the home). I'm registered with a load of survey websites that pay money - admittedly it takes a while to build up the amount of money but every little helps.
My favourite is Valued Opinions - they pay you in vouchers - it's up to you ro request to be paid out once you've reached £5 and there's a load of different ones to choose from - I'm collecting M&S and intend to use them for Christmas presentsAnywhere is within walking distance - if you have the time!!0 -
I have just spent half an hour writing a message and it has now been eaten by the big internet monster!
I have been there done that and I am happy to say I have thrown away the t-shirt (not my colour
)
Sorry I cant re-write my message now but please dont keep beating yourself up there will be a solution in the end! - we got there!
with best wishes

Hi MJ just wanted to say that you are not alone in having 40+ years to repay your debt. We are about 45+years I think and only paying £65 a month. I have been with CCCS a while now and always make sure that when I have my yearly review, I ask them to send an updated review to all my creditors. CCCS should do that automatically, but no always and it may well help to stop nasty phone calls.0
